For musicians, a website should be more than a place to list tour dates or link to Spotify.
It should be a space where fans can support your work, access exclusive content, and connect with you directly — without relying on social media algorithms or third‑party platforms.
That’s why Squarespace and MemberSpace together are such a powerful combo. Squarespace gives musicians a clean, professional website, and MemberSpace adds the features and powerful flexibility needed to monetize music and fan access — all on your own site.
In this post, we’ll walk through how to create a Squarespace website for musicians, and how musicians can use MemberSpace to sell exclusive content, memberships, and fan access in a way that feels simple and sustainable.

Why Squarespace + MemberSpace Works for Musicians
Squarespace is popular with musicians because it’s easy to use and designed to look great with audio, video, and visuals. And when you add MemberSpace to your site, you can instantly:
- Protect exclusive music and content
- Sell memberships or one‑time access
- Build deeper relationships with fans
- Customize your monetization as your career grows
MemberSpace plugs directly into Squarespace, giving musicians the freedom to build their business their way, without locking them into one rigid model.
Step 1: Set Up a Simple Squarespace Website for Your Music
The first step is creating a clean, easy‑to‑navigate Squarespace website that highlights your music.
You don’t need a complicated setup to get started.
Most musicians can start with:
- Home page – Who you are and your sound
- Music page – Embedded tracks, albums, or videos
- Fan Access or Support page – Where monetization lives
Squarespace makes it easy to embed audio players, videos, and visual elements that match your brand and style.
This foundation gives you a professional home for your music — and a place to layer in MemberSpace when you’re ready to monetize.
Install MemberSpace on Your Squarespace Site
Once your basic site is in place, install MemberSpace so you can protect content and accept payments.
To install MemberSpace:
- Create a MemberSpace account
- Copy the MemberSpace install code snippet
- In Squarespace, go to Website → Pages → Custom Code → Code Injection
- Paste the code into the Header and save
After installation, a MemberSpace login button will appear on your site. This is where fans will log in to access exclusive content.
At this point, your Squarespace website is officially ready to support memberships and paid access!
Step 2: Decide What Fans Get Access To
After your site is set up, decide what content you want to make available to paying fans.
This content lives inside MemberSpace and is protected so only approved members can access it.
What Musicians Commonly Offer as Exclusive Content
Some popular options include:
- Unreleased songs or demos
- Early access to new releases
- Behind‑the‑scenes videos or studio footage
- Live recordings or acoustic sessions
- Lyrics, chord charts, or sheet music
- Fan‑only blog posts or updates

Set Up Spaces in MemberSpace
In MemberSpace, exclusive content is organized into Spaces. Think of each space as a protected content area for your fans.
For example, you might create:
- A “Fan Club” space
- A “Behind the Scenes” space
- An “Exclusive Music” space
Inside each space, you can upload files, embed audio or video, and organize content however you’d like.
MemberSpace handles protecting this content so only the right fans can access it — giving you full control over what’s public and what’s exclusive.
Step 3: Create Pricing Plans to Sell Access to Your Content
Once your exclusive content is uploaded to MemberSpace, the next step is creating pricing plans that sell access to it.
Pricing plans are how fans actually pay to unlock your protected content.
Common Pricing Plan Options for Musicians
Recurring Memberships
- Monthly or yearly fan memberships
- Ongoing access to exclusive content
- Great for building predictable income
One‑Time Purchases
- Access to a specific album or release
- Special video content or live sessions
- Ideal for limited or standalone content
- Basic fans vs. super fans
- Different levels of access depending on support
With MemberSpace, you can assign one or multiple spaces to each pricing plan, giving musicians powerful flexibility to experiment and adjust over time.
Step 4: Add Your Pricing Plans to Your Squarespace Site
Now it’s time to connect everything to your Squarespace website.
MemberSpace provides a checkout or sign‑up link for each pricing plan. You’ll add these links to buttons on your Squarespace pages, such as:
- “Join the Fan Club”
- “Unlock Exclusive Music”
- “Support My Work”
From the fan’s perspective, the process is simple:
- Click a button on your website
- Create an account
- Pay and get instant access
Everything happens on your Squarespace site, keeping the experience seamless and professional.
Step 5: Share and Update Content for Your Fans
Once fans have access, you can continue adding new content inside MemberSpace anytime.
This allows musicians to:
- Drop new songs or demos
- Share updates directly with supporters
- Reward loyal fans with exclusive releases
You’re not locked into a one‑time launch — you can grow and evolve your content as your music does.
Best Squarespace Templates for Musicians
Choosing the right Squarespace template makes a big difference for musicians.
Some of the best Squarespace templates for musicians include:
- Hawley – Designed specifically for musicians and bands, with built‑in audio and tour sections
- Native – Clean and modern, great for solo artists
- Rally – Bold visuals and strong branding for artists with a distinct style
- Wells – Minimal and content‑focused, perfect for highlighting music and video
The key is choosing a template that puts your music front and center while leaving room for MemberSpace‑powered fan access and monetization.
