Band Websites, Booking Forms and Merch Stores, Made by Describing Them

Mythex builds the software a working band actually uses: a website with tour dates and a live clip, a booking form for weddings and corporate parties, and a merch store that knows how many medium shirts are left. You describe it in chat, check the live preview, and publish it to a public link you can paste into your bio.

What a band needs from its software

Most bands are four or five people with day jobs, and the hard part is not the music. It is knowing whether the bassist is free on 14 June before you say yes to a wedding, and remembering what the promoter in the next city paid last time. Enquiries land in the singer's Instagram, the band email, a contact form and the drummer's phone. Bookers want to hear the band live before they commit, venues want a rider and a press kit, and fans want dates and a way to buy a record. The software has to put dates, fees, enquiries and stock where every member can see them.

One enquiry list instead of four inboxes
Date availability checked against every member, not time slots
An electronic press kit with photos, bio and technical rider
Merch stock shared between the online store and the gig table
A record of fees, door splits and who got paid what

What you can build for bands

A band site that leads with how you sound live

Put a two-minute phone video from a real gig at the top, then upcoming shows with ticket links, a press kit page with hi-res photos and your rider, and separate booking pages for venues and for private events. Promoters judge by ear, couples planning a wedding judge by the room, and both want proof the band is active, so the dates list needs to be easy for any member to update.

Build a website for our four-piece soul band. Put a live video at the top, then upcoming shows with ticket links that any band member can edit, a press kit page with downloadable photos, bio and technical rider, and a booking page with separate forms for venues and for weddings.

Wedding and party enquiries checked against everyone's diary

Private clients ask for a date, not a slot. The booking form captures event type, venue, set length and travel distance, then checks the date against each member's unavailable days. Dates can be held provisionally and the hold expires after ten days, so a couple who is shopping around does not block a firm booking.

Make a booking enquiry form for weddings and private parties. Ask for date, venue, event type, set length and guest count, show only dates when all five members are free, and let us put a 10-day provisional hold on a date that releases itself if the client does not confirm.

A merch store that matches the table at the show

Sell shirts in several cuts and sizes, limited vinyl pressings that show sold out at zero, and bundles like a record plus a shirt. After each gig, someone logs what sold at the table, so the online store never sells a size that went last night. Card payments go through a payment provider account you connect yourself.

Build a merch store for our band with t-shirts in fitted and regular cuts, a limited run of 300 vinyl records, and a vinyl plus shirt bundle. Add a quick page where we record what sold at the merch table after each show so the stock stays the same online.

Promoters, venues and agents in one shared list

Record every promoter and venue with past fees, attendance and the season they asked you to get back in touch. Tag each lead by where it came from. Each member gets their own login, so the person replying to a venue can see the guitarist already talked to them last spring.

Make a contacts app for our band with promoters, venues, agents and private clients. For each show, record the fee, attendance and how the lead reached us, add follow-up dates, and give each of the five members their own login.

Deposits, balances and the split after the gig

Send a deposit invoice when a wedding is booked and a balance invoice due two weeks before the date, with travel and accommodation as separate lines. For venue shows, log the guarantee or door split, then record how the money was divided among members and expenses, so nobody has to rebuild it from bank statements in April.

Build invoicing for our band. Private bookings get a 30% deposit invoice and a balance invoice due 14 days before the event, with travel as its own line. For each show, record the fee or door split and how it was divided between members.

Guest lists and RSVPs for shows you promote yourself

For an album launch or a self-promoted night, take free RSVPs or tickets up to a capacity, keep a guest list with plus-ones, and let the door person tick names off on a phone. If the free list fills in a week, that is your sign to book a bigger room next time.

Create an event page for our album launch with 200 tickets, a guest list where each member can add names with plus-ones, a merch pickup option for pre-ordered vinyl, and a check-in screen for the door.

From four inboxes to one list

Start with the booking form and the shared enquiry list, because that is where bands lose work. Once every enquiry lands in one place with a date, a venue and a fee, add member availability so you can answer a couple the same evening instead of after three days of group chat. The website and the merch store come next; they are easier to get right once the dates are reliable.

Day one: booking form, enquiry list, member logins
Week two: availability and provisional holds
Then: website, press kit, merch store

Ask fans for their city

When fans sign up to your mailing list on a release page, ask which city they live in. When a show is confirmed in Leeds, you email the people near Leeds instead of the whole list. Fewer people unsubscribe, more of them buy tickets, and the list stays useful for years.

Questions

What should a band website include?

Upcoming dates with ticket links, a live clip, a press kit with photos, bio and rider, and a booking form. If you play weddings and parties, add set lengths and a sample setlist so clients know what they are booking.

Can all band members see the bookings?

Yes. Ask Mythex for a login for each member, and everyone sees the same enquiries, dates and fees. That replaces forwarding messages between personal inboxes.

Can we take deposits for weddings?

Yes. You can send a deposit invoice when the date is confirmed and a balance invoice before the event. Taking card payments online needs a payment provider account, such as Stripe, that you connect yourself.

Do we need to know how to code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language and Mythex writes the app, shows a live preview and lets you change it by chatting. The code is there if a member wants to look at it.

Is it free?

The Free plan needs no card and gives daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds a custom domain, code editing, export and more credits.

Can fans get it as a phone app?

On Pro, Mythex can turn your published site into Android and iPhone apps that open it, so every Publish updates them. Most bands are fine with a website link in their bio.
