Lock-in. Code handoff anytime

Most clients arrive after a template builder that looked fine but loaded slowly and became impossible to update.

Discovery call

We define your core work, the audiences you want to reach, and exactly what action you want visitors to take — booking, buying, listening, or reaching out.

Content and structure

You provide your materials — photos, bio, links, dates. We draft the page architecture and copy framework tailored to your artistic identity.

Build and review

We build the site, share a review link, and apply revisions before anything goes live. You approve it — then we ship.

Launch and ongoing care

After go-live, monthly support starts. Send updates whenever you need them — new work, new shows, new press. We keep it current.

About

One developer, working
directly with you.

Jarod Eads, founder of PulseCatalog

I started PulseCatalog after seeing too many musicians and artists get sold bloated website packages that didn't actually help them book gigs, sell work, or grow their audience.

The model is simple: one-time build fee, transparent monthly support, and direct communication. No agency handoffs. No buried pricing. You always know who's working on your site and how to reach them.

Every site I build is coded by hand — no page builders, no themes. That means it loads fast, it's easy to update, and it actually represents you.

Upgrade any Care plan. SEO infrastructure, analytics, and music metadata — the full discovery stack for artists serious about being found.

Music MetaTagging
Correct artist name, album, ISRC, genre, and release metadata across streaming platforms — so your music surfaces in playlists, search, and AI recommendations.
Questions

Common questions
from artists.

A 5-page artist or musician site starts at $149 one-time. Monthly hosting and support starts at $49/month. Care+ plans with SEO, Google Analytics, and music metadata tagging are $79/month.
Yes. Merch shops are built and integrated into your site — physical goods, apparel, prints, and digital downloads. Pricing is scoped per project depending on product count and the payment processor needed.
Music MetaTagging is the process of ensuring your releases have correct metadata across streaming platforms — artist name, album, ISRC code, genre, and release year. Streaming platforms use this data to place you in search results, algorithmic playlists, and AI-generated recommendations. Missing or wrong metadata means you're invisible to those systems.
We implement llms.txt — a file that tells AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity exactly what you do, what you offer, and where to find you. Combined with schema markup and clean structured content, this gives AI tools the context they need to recommend you when someone searches for an artist in your genre or style.
Care+ ($79/month) includes everything in the standard Care plan — hosting, SSL, and 2 monthly update requests — plus: SEO setup (meta tags, schema markup, sitemap, robots.txt, llms.txt), Google Analytics 4 installation, Google Search Console connection, and Music MetaTagging for one release per month.
A typical 5-page artist site takes 1–2 weeks from discovery call to launch. Larger builds, merch shop integrations, or multi-section portfolio sites take 3–4 weeks.
