For artistes · Your own website
Earn from your music. Have a website in one click.
On Ragya, listeners around the world hear your music, and you earn a share of its subscription revenue by how long your music is heard. The same profile becomes your own website, on your own domain: write a few words, pick a look, and it’s live. No designer, no hosting, no mailing-list service. Just Ragya Studio, and the Ragya team to help you make it.

Two advantages, one place
On Ragya
Earn from your music
No fee to join, and you keep your rights.
A share of subscription revenue, by listening time.
No minimum payout.
Heard at the right hour, by listeners worldwide.
On your domain
A website of your own
Made from your Ragya profile in one click.
Your music on it, with previews to play.
Photos, videos, performances and writing.
A contact form and a mailing list, built in.
Each helps the other. Your website sends its visitors on to your music on Ragya, where the time they spend listening adds to your share. And your music, your story and your news live in one place that’s truly yours.
Live in three steps
Start your site
In Ragya Studio, open Website and press Start your site. It’s made at once from your profile: your photo, biography, gurus, links and your music on Ragya.
Make it yours
Write a little in your own words, add photos, videos and your next performances, and choose a template, a typeface, and light or dark. Preview it as you go.
Go live on your domain
Choose a plan for the year, then add the records Studio shows you where you bought your domain. Ragya does the rest: the hosting, the security certificate, the phone layout. Every change after that is on your site within minutes.
The Ragya team helps you make it
You’re not on your own. We’ll help you set up your site, from your first page to going live on your domain. Write to support@ragya.com and we’ll take it from there with you.
One place, nothing to maintain
A musician’s website usually means a handful of services, each with its own bill, sign-in and updates. With Ragya it’s all in Studio, beside your music and your earnings.
The usual way
With Ragya
Your site
Usually: A website builder, a hosting plan and a designer to set it up
Made from your Ragya profile in one click
Security
Usually: A certificate to buy, install and renew
Set up and renewed for you
Your music
Usually: Players to embed, links that break
Your renditions on Ragya, already on the page
Mailing list
Usually: A separate mailing-list service, another bill, another sign-in
Built in: listeners join on your site, you write from Studio
Contact
Usually: A form plugin, and spam to sift
A contact form; messages come to your email
Performances
Usually: A calendar widget, kept up by hand in two places
A Performances page: add a date, it’s on the site
Upkeep
Usually: Updates, plugins and logins to keep track of
Nothing to update. One sign-in: Ragya Studio
Choose a look
Two templates, each in light or dark, and eight typefaces to set your name and words in. Try any of them on your own site in Studio’s preview, and change your mind whenever you like.
Portrait
You first: your photograph beside your name, your words in a reading column. Shown here in light.
Gallery
Your photographs first: one across the screen, your name over it. Shown here in dark.
Typefaces: Amulya, Gambetta, Playfair, Merriweather, EB Garamond, Lora, Fraunces and Jost.
What your pages can hold
Each page is a few blocks, one after another, dragged into the order you like. One page or several: the menu makes itself.
Text
Your story, your gurus, your thoughts on a raga: headings, links and a picture beside the words.
Images
Many photos at once, with captions and credits, as a grid or a slideshow.
Embeds
YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Spotify and Google Maps, by pasting a link.
Files
Your biodata, a press kit or high-resolution photos, for anyone to download.
Music on Ragya
Your renditions on Ragya, with previews to play and a way to hear each one in full.
Write to your listeners
A mailing list of your own, without a mailing-list service. Listeners join from your site; you tell them about a concert, a new recording or a workshop, straight from Studio.
Simple to write. A subject, a picture if you like, a few words and one button. Preview it and send yourself a test before it goes.
Sent for you. Ragya sends it to everyone on your list, with your photo at the top and replies coming straight to you.
From your own address. On Pro, emails can come from news@yourdomain once Studio has checked your domain.
Yours to keep. Unsubscribes are handled for you, and you can download your list at any time.

Hide “Built on Ragya”
Build first, pay when you’re ready. Start your site and preview it in Studio before you choose a plan.
Move up any time. Going from Standard to Pro mid-year costs only the difference for the days left.
Your domain stays yours. Buy it wherever you like (it isn’t included); Ragya only points it at your site.
Questions
Do I need to be on Ragya?
Yes. Your website is part of Ragya Studio, made from your profile on Ragya, so it comes with a profile. If you don’t have one yet, request one: there’s no fee.
Do I need a domain?
Yes, a site is always on a domain of your own, like yourname.com. If you already have one, use it. If not, buy one from any domain registrar, then add the records Studio shows you.
Will my domain’s email keep working?
Yes. Your site needs only its own records; the ones your email uses stay as they are.
I already have a website. Can I move it?
Yes. Write to support@ragya.com and we’ll help you bring your pages across, with your old addresses leading to the new ones. Point your domain at your Ragya site once it’s ready.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. If you can write an email, you can make your site. Everything is in Studio, in plain words, and changes are on your site within minutes. And the Ragya team is there to help you make it.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Every site is made for phones, tablets and computers alike.
Ready when you are
