If you have serious talent, then you need a serious website.

We're not talking about a profile page covered in other people's advertising, an actual website that looks slick and showcases your stuff in the best light.

Your talentcake site has ZERO ads cramping your style and loads of features to get your stuff out there and help your career along, and you automatically become a talentcake member - rock on!

It doesn't cost serious cash though.

Don't pay hundres or thousands for a website - add as many of these pages and features to your new site and never pay more than $39.00aud a year.

Your new site rocks with stacks of features and stuff:

Your Store.

Your PayPal Powered store puts you in control, anyone in the world armed with a credit card can buy your stuff. The price is up to you, the shipping is up to you and there are no fees for making a sale.

Sell on every page.

Really wanna sell something? Make an item 'featured' and a 'buy now' widget will follow your visitors around your site where ever they go. Widgets rock.

List your live dates

The name says it all, there is loads of room to cram every last detail about an upcoming gig in your listing. Where they can buy tickets, what the venue is like and it's easy to do.

Get your gigs noticed

Again, our trusty widgets will keep your featured gigs in the faces of visitors.

Get seen, heard and watched.

You can upload endless image galleries, audio files and videos to your site. You can even pull in your youtube videos seemlessly, we've made it so uploaded or ripped from youtube - your pages still look pro.

Home page styles.

You can pick the best vid to blow away your visitors on the home page and a different vid to front your press kit page, same goes with audio - your featured tracks will hit your home page to spice it up. Make your latest gallery featured for an automatic slideshow on the home page too.

Get down to serious business

If someone in the industry that you needed to impress called tomorrow and asked if you were on the web, what link would you send them?

A profile shows you had some free time one afternoon, a website shows your serious - that's why your press kit page has it's own url, it's a second customisable home page for the industry so that you can keep your fans happy on your main home page.

Give the industry the free stuff they want (but make everyone else pay)

Upload all your tracks, pics, bio, gig rates, anything you please and it can be downloaded by anyone you have given a password that is decided by you. (and you can change it whenever you want)

But wait, there's more (as they say). If someone wants to download your stuff with the password you gave them, they have to say who they are when they do it - and that info is emailed to you.

So you don't have to wonder if that record company ever got around to downloading your album.

Press Releases or a fancy pants Blog - your call.

What's going on with you? Get it down where your story is stored in date order and anyone can find it, add pictures, links, make it interesting.

Those widgets again...

Your homepage has a news widget that scrolls through your news stories every few seconds, so make them worth reading - they're likely to get read.

Did we miss something?

You have an extra page that's blank, ready to edit - you get to name it yourself and it appears in your nav bar because it's likely you have something to say that's bigger than a news story and deserves it's own space.

This page, like all of them - comes with it's own url, so if it's something you want to advertise separatley, you can. eg. talentcake.com/you/design-my-album-cover-competition

Other ideas for your free page: "Next Project" "New Album" "On Tour" "Competition" "Our Sponsor"

Get connected

There are so many ways to get contacted online, it's hard to keep up! This makes it simple.

Your Connect page has a space to put in any details, managers phone number or anything you want.

You also have one of those 'name, email, subject, message - send' forms that gets sent straight to your email address if you would rather not hand it out.

Social Networking Nailed

All your profiles in one place - literally a list of sites you're on so visitors can pick the one or more they're a member of click it, it takes them right to you anywhere on the net.

Blast your talent

Your home page is the easy part, you write a short description and the rest is automatically filled in as you add content. Your name, news, photos, audio, video, store, gigs and nav appear on your home page as you start making stuff 'featured' which is as easy as clicking a button.

Style your site

You don't need to know anything about html, it's super easy to edit this bad boy.

To make it even simpler - you already have a default site finished and waiting to be customised when you sign up, so it's just a case of replacing stuff you want to change but it's already up and working!
