Designing Feitler, for bands and musicians
Feitler limited edition Squarespace template is ideal for bands and musicians.
Limited edition Squarespace template design
While established artists, bands, composers, sound designers, and other music professionals often have a bigger website budget, plenty more choose the DIY route using platforms like Squarespace. But out-of-the-box Squarespace templates aren’t designed with music professionals in mind. Plus, they use generic layouts and patterns, so they all look very similar, which is hardly ideal for a creative industry like music.
With input from music professionals worldwide, renowned web designer Andy Clarke has launched new limited edition Squarespace templates to help artists, bands, composers, sound designers, and other music professionals create visually stunning websites. These templates combine distinctive design with Squarespace’s clever functionality.
Inspired by the influential work of Brazilian art director Bea Feitler, “Feitler” from Stuff & Nonsense is a premium website template designed for Squarespace 7.1. It’s an ideal choice for music composers and sound designers’ websites.

Announcing the launch of his collection of Squarespace templates for music professionals, Andy Clarke said:
“For most of my career, I’ve encouraged designers and developers to learn from past design masters and make inspiring work for the web. Now, I’m making Squarespace templates to help them do just that.
Squarespace is a powerful platform for website design, and its Fluid Engine enables countless layouts. So, why do so many musicians’ websites look the same? Most follow the same design patterns we see everywhere online. However, an artist’s website can have a distinctive design packed with personality.
Inspired by the work of art directors and editorial designers, including Lester Beall, Bea Feitler, and Emmett McBain, this collection of unique Squarespace website templates will help music professionals create visually stunning websites that stand out from the crowd.”
Customisation service from only £480
Running a business is never easy, with plenty of tasks competing for your attention. Between accounting, client relationships, marketing, sales, and work, the list goes on and on. You could spend time customising a website template, but instead of trying DIY, Andy will customise your Feitler template with your branding, colours, content, fonts, graphics, and images.
About Bea Feitler
Bea Feitler was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1938. After working on album covers, book jackets, magazines, and poster designs, she left Brazil and moved to Manhattan. In 1961 — and still only 25 years old — she became an art assistant, then one of the youngest and first female co-art directors at Harper’s Bazaar.
Just like Alexey Brodovitch — who’d stepped down from Harper’s Bazaar before her move to the United States — Feitler’s collaborations with artists and photographers helped define her work. At Harper’s Bazaar, Richard Avedon’s photograph of model Jean Shrimpton in her famous pink space helmet, then Annie Leibovitz’s naked John Lennon on the cover of Rolling Stone.
As a mentor and teacher, Feitler shared many principles with Alexey Brodovitch. She encouraged her students to develop their own direction, and many themselves became prominent art directors. Feitler was demanding and accepted nothing less than the very highest standards of design excellence from everybody.
Sadly, Bea Feitler died from cancer in 1982 aged just 44. I believe she has as much to teach those of us who design for the web as she did the magazine art directors who followed her. I hope her life and work will influence us to have courage in our convictions and make our own brave and confident choices.
