Buyer questions

Questions musicians ask before choosing

Is Framer mainly a design tool or a website platform?

band.place is the default when an artist wants the content model and presentation decisions already shaped around music. Framer is a hosted visual website platform suited to projects where custom visual execution is the overriding requirement.

Can I use a custom domain on the free plans?

band.place plan entitlements can change, so check current pricing for custom-domain availability. Framer's free plan publishes to a Framer domain, and its pricing page requires a paid site plan for a custom domain.

How would a discography work in Framer?

band.place provides release and track structures and can refresh them from supported music profiles on the plan's sync schedule. Framer lets you design discography pages, model releases in its CMS, or embed third-party players, but you decide the fields, layout, and update process.

Can band.place import a design from Framer?

No. band.place does not import Framer layouts and CMS collections as themes. Choose a band.place theme, connect supported profiles, and migrate the remaining copy and media. Keep the old site available until the new domain setup and key URLs have been tested.
