Music Website Template Customization: Eclipse

Is your rock band is looking for a sleek website template that’ll make your fans pay attention to your new tracks? Does your party band need to stand out with a fresh look to attract more bookings? Or maybe you’re a record label with lots of artists to showcase.

The Eclipse theme will work for all of this and more! It features a large, full-width header area, a zippy animation as the page loads, and feature background styling. With 3 variations to choose from, and endless customization options, this is a music website template that’s professional and striking.

Loading animation

This website template is particularly eye-catching because of the animation that triggers after your main image loads. Your band name, artist name, or logo will pop out into place as a box draws around it. The key to making this look stylish is to carefully choose your font, color, and whether to use a logo.

Keep in mind that you can add an image filter to mute or accent your main image, sitting it nicely behind the loading animation.

Main image full of style

The header area spans the top of your website with the Eclipse template, making it essential to have a great image!   

Lots of solo artists and bands have an up close press image ready to go. This kind of image works well with this theme. Combined with an image filter, it produces a stunning main image as the first thing your fans will see as your page loads.

To make your main image look just right, choose the position of your text. Set it at the top, bottom, or center, then align your text left, right, or in the middle  Finally, adjust the color or upload a custom font to make it stand out!

Adjust your image

Your header image is the most important image on your website. It’s larger by default on the homepage than the inner pages, and is adjustable on both. Make it match on all pages if you have the perfect image, or choose a different image per page.
