Designing McBain, for composers and sound designers
McBain limited edition Squarespace template is ideal for composers and sound designers.
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 imaginative album cover art of designer Emmett McBain, “McBain” 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 MaBain template with your branding, colours, content, fonts, graphics, and images.
