Bandzoogle Blog

Can bandzoogle provide the option so the user can easily design and use their own template?
That would be so great if this feature was added and im sure people would sign up by the thousand!

I definitely agree! I know our band is getting to the point
where we love Bandzoogle, but are really feeling the
importance of customizing our design to our band and
it's current album theme.
Even being able to purchase the option of designing your
own template would be desirable to us.

Completely agree. The ability to add in our own colors as we choose and apply graphics / images where we please to the template would be amazing.

Also some minor flash options for the template would be great!!

You guys have done a great job getting all the other site options up to speed HOWEVER you guys have been quite lax on updating the templates and providing more options for the overall ability to manipulate the look and feel of our sites.

I am a loyal customer but I can't keep working with this same template.

I agree as well. I love Bandzoogle and every feature they offer. It is a real asset to my record label, but what is lacking is the customizable templates. I have already signed up with another host -BUT- it is a lot of work to get where you want to be as far as selling downloads etc...but the options are endless as far as creating. I am toying around with it now, trying to decide if it is worth it. But i would stay at Bandzoogle hands down, if they added a customizable feature.

Aye, have to agree that a customizable template would be fantastic. I love my layout but there are a few things I'd like to change about it which is not possible unfortunately.

Agreed I've been waiting for a customizable template since joining.

I think it's on the "to do" list though?

Any news on it Chris?

Customized templates will be great when you guys get there with that project, but thanks for taking on the task of producing one template a week. That's appreciated! I think we need both features ultimately (custom & ready made) so seeing new designs from yall is great too.

I think it's awesome that y'all are adding one new template a week and hopefully, the templates will be more and more "customizable" for each member as the weeks pass. I'm willing to wait though, honestly, I've used numerous other hosts and bandzoogle is by far, the best one. But, I do agree... more freedom within the site look would be awesome. It sucks, but when I stumble upson another bandzooglers site, I always know it's a bandzoogle site. It has that look.

Other than that, I frickin love it here.

hi everyone,

Colin, Eli, Nick, and I are working on flash templates and a customization system. It is a huge project, which we have been working on for 7+ months. It is our main focus, and we'll have some news soon on its release!

There has been alot of discussion since but we have faith in you as you provide and amazing service anyhow!

Couldn't recommend a better service!

That's great news about the addition of Flash templates as well as the ability to customize! You've done a great job with the development of this site! I too am a loyal customer... not 100% because of the great options... but that you continue to show that you're dedicated to improving the site!

You could turn down the brightness of your monitor?

or just turn off the monitor.. that would be really goth

great news

I would like to try a few other designs, but I like the dark grey back ground that I have with the ruberman. Do you think you will have an option soon to choose your preferred background colors or will you be designing any more with the dark grey background behind the writing?

Nice!

can we make the box inside the email wider?

I think simple improvements like button depth and various programmed auto transitions between pages and amazing transition speed between pages! Abiliy to alter the background color would add a lot to customability... (is that a word?) to BZ sites.

cool
