Music Website Template Customization: Meridian

Take a simple website structure - header image, menu, then content below. Pair that with smooth animation, add a few whimsical elements to make it stand out from the crowd. Now you’ve got the Meridian theme! It’s a classic website layout made interesting with robust image filters, color choices, and accents.

This website template can go from country band chic, to folksy roots simply by customizing a few design options. Let’s take a look!

Top of website = top of mind

Make a strong statement right away with an image that reflects your band’s dynamic, and sound. It’s a super way to make a lasting impression. Choose a good-quality, landscape style image that will stretch all the way across your page.

From here, arrange the top part of your website to make it uniquely yours. This band template allows you to set a straight edge to your image, or a diagonal slope leading down to your content. You can also adjust the height to make your photo fit exactly right.

There are plenty of image filter options to choose from, laying a color and effect over your photo.  Add a dark muted look to tone down a fantastically colorful image, or add a white filter to brighten up your band’s look.  

There is also a dust filter option to give your image a scratchy, textured look.

Title text and logo

Once your header image is on the page and looking great, make a point to position your logo or title text. No more text over your bassist’s face! Adjust your logo to sit at the top, middle or bottom of the header area (or move it left, center, or to the right).

Your logo will float in smoothly as your pages load, giving the header area a modern look that’s key to putting across a professional image.

No logo? No problem! Make use of the diamond shape we’ve added as an option here. Choose a funky font and set the colors of each to give your band website its own logo.

Options for motion

With this music website template the page loads, fading in slowly as your title text floats in, and the diamond logo is drawn. It’s a quick way to showcase a bit of animation right away.

Another option is to add a sleek slideshow of images that will alternate behind your main title text. For even more motion, try adding a video header that shows off your band performing.

Make a beautiful menu

Meridian’s menu reaches across the top of your website, allowing for lots of pages. Choose a simple font or go bold - change up the color and text size until it looks good with your image. The page that your website visitor is currently on will be marked with an underline.

You can also change your font from lowercase text to uppercase - so see what looks best!

You can also add site-wide social media icons that span the top of your pages. Choose the color, hover color, and size, then lay them out above your menu.

Looking to add subpages? A little arrow beside your main menu page will indicate to visitors that there are more pages nested underneath.

Content layout with options

The content area is simple with a few stylish design touches. Choose a background color to complement your main image, then add a few feature titles to highlight your content.

Whether you go with the pantone colors of the season, or pick up the hues in your latest album artwork, it’s easy to customize your content’s colors.  

First off, you can choose to keep or eliminate the feature title accents that add some flair in separating your text. Then, choose a font and set the text and link colors. Finally, make your buttons solid or an outline, and pick from 3 shape options.

Arrange your content in clean columns once you’ve added your homepage text, merch items, or biography with images. You can also choose from our preset page options to get your store page started, or jumpstart your EPK. Adding lots of content on the page works well with this theme since the background is simple.
