Let's take a quick tour of the member dashboard.

Transcription:

In this video, we'll take a tour of the BAND BREEZE dashboard, describing each section and how to use it to quickly build your public site. Unlike other no-code web builders, we've truly taken all of the guesswork out of creating your web presence by curating a user experience that focuses only on content. Everything else is 100% automatic.

Note that we won't focus too much on the mechanics of how each section works, as this is just an overview. If you'd like more detailed instruction for each section, click the Info icon in the quick access bar within each section. That will take you to the associated page in our knowledge base where we walk through that particular section in detail.  Or, you can view the full knowledge base by visiting bandbreeze dot help. 

Let's get started by logging in to the member dashboard and setting up a brand new band profile. We'll access the sections in the order they appear on the left navigation panel. 

First, click the Band Details link. The very first step you should take, before anything else, is entering your band name. Or, of course, any name you wish to use. If a solo performer, for instance, this can simply be your name.  

Because your public URL is generated from your band name, once entered, this cannot be changed except by BAND BREEZE support. And if using a custom domain, it is tied to this URL as well. So, ensure you enter your exact band name only, with no extra words. Let's create a fictional top-40 cover band called "Groove Report."

After confirming, After confirming, let's jump to the Public URL section. You'll notice your public profile link has now been generated.  If using a custom domain, you will enter that below, here, as well as the email address you'd like us to create for that domain.

Moving on to "General Configuration", this is where you will choose which content sections you'd like to appear on your public site. Disable any section you don't have content for by clicking the icon for the section. A slash through the icon indicates that the section is now hidden. 

Although we were here earlier to enter our band name, let's go back to the "Band Details" section. Here, you will create your band bio, add a main band photo, and, if you'd like, a logo.

The Appearance section is where you choose the aesthetic for your public site, or, how it will appear to site visitors. Select the theme that best aligns with your band. There are a variety of designs and color schemes. You can preview themes and configure a few additional options here as well.

Next, in the Video Reel section, you can either upload a video, or add your YouTube link to embed an existing video into your profile.

Moving on to the "Sound Clips" section, if you have audio files you'd like to share, add them here.

The "Photo Gallery" section is where you can add any photos you'd like to share. 

In the "Promotional Assets" section, you can share media assets that can be used for print or web promotion, for instance, high-resolution logos, and official band photos. You can upload individual image files here. Or, include all of your promotional media assets in a single zip file. This is very useful for venues and booking parties when promoting your performance.

If you have a stage plot, you can upload it here, in the "Stage Plot" section. This is very useful, and often requested by house sound engineers, when playing a venue with house sound. If you don't yet have a stage plot, you can easily create one using our exclusive drag-and-drop Stage Plot Designer tool.

It is often helpful to booking parties to see a full list of songs you perform. You can add them here, in the "Set List" section. Just type in the song name, and artist. Add as many as you'd like. Your list can also be downloaded from your public site as a CSV file. 

The "Upcoming Shows" section is your performance calendar. Keep site visitors up-to-date with where, and when, you will be performing next. You can also add venue directions and ticket links for each event entry. Past performance dates are shown below. 

In the "Venue List" section, add the venues or events you've performed at. This is a great tool for booking parties to assess what kinds of venues have hired you in the past, helping them make informed booking decisions.  

In the "Press" section, add links to any news or media mentions for your band.  This is a great way to show that you have a media presence and, in turn, public awareness. 

Add any accolades, endorsements or recommendations you've received in the "Testimonials" section. Testimonials are gold for creating a strong perception of credibility, especially if you have testimonials from booking parties. 

Adding social links is important. It tells booking parties that you recognize the importance of engaging with your fans on social media. Add links to external profiles here, in the "Social Links" section. They will be displayed on the footer of your public site. 

Finally, add your primary band contact here, in the "Contact Info" section. Having current contact info is super important, so choose either the representative from your band who handles inquiries and bookings, or, if represented by an agent, add them here. 

Now that we've gone through the sections, let's quickly go through the additional links at the bottom of the left navigation panel.

The Demo Reel Builder is an exclusive video creation tool you can use to put together a demo reel from multiple clips.

The Stage Plot Designer is another exclusive tool you can use to create a drag-and-drop stage plot document, with input lists.

The Audio Enhancer is an exclusive tool we've built to enhance your audio files by applying some basic mastering parameters. It also includes a parametric EQ, with which you can further refine your audio. This is especially helpful for audio captured with a mobile device.

To change your dashboard password, email address, or view your subscription level, use the Manage User Profile link, here.

To manage your subscription, for instance, to update payment method or generate a receipt, select the Manage Subscription link. Note that this login is not the same as your dashboard login; this is the login you set up when you originally subscribed. If you are a trial user, this is not applicable. 

The Help link takes you to our help portal, bandbreeze dot help. This is home to our knowledge base, and also our help desk ticketing system. Start here, when you need assistance. 

Band Breeze University is currently in development, so this link is not tied to active content just yet. This will be your musician's community hub where you can access articles and media content to help you grow and evolve in all things band-related, with a focus on presentation. It will also be home to our user discussion board. Check back soon, as we plan to take this live later in 2025!

If interested in getting expert design and media creation help, check out the Professional Services link. We have lots of resources to help you punch up your presentation with expert video editing, logo design, printed promo (like posters or flyers), and more.

Use the "Access Webmail" link to open the web-based email client. This is only applicable if you have a custom domain and associated email address managed by BAND BREEZE.

To upgrade or change your subscription, use the "Upgrade" link. 

With all sections complete, let's see how the content we've added presents on the public site with the Duplicity Rose theme. Remember, you can apply any theme instantly, and although each theme is visually unique, the content is displayed in the same order. 

As you can see, creating your band site or EPK is quick, easy, and is truly a "no-code" experience.  We hope you create something really great! Thanks for watching this run through of the Band Breeze member dashboard!
