Wondering if that important person visited your...
Have you ever sent your Onesheet to a label exec or booking agent and wondered if they actually ever clicked the link? Or to a casting director who you didn’t hear from? Wouldn’t have been nicer to know if they actually visited the Onesheet?
Today, we’re making that a reality with the release of Tracking Codes.

Say hello to the user Dashboard
To date, the home page a user sees after login has simply linked you to their Onesheets, where all edits and changes are made. The home page itself served little purpose.
A few months ago, we did a slight redesign of the home page. The goal of that exercise was to give our users a aesthetically nicer experience while we made bigger changes behind the scenes.
Today, we’re replacing the user...

Page view graphs for your Onesheet

To find the graph, go to your new Dashboard and click “Stats” under you Onesheet’s name. We will also update your...

Navigation bar ordering is here!
We are extremely excited to add customized navigation bar to Onesheets. A common request we get at Onesheet is allowing artists to arrange their navigation bar any way they would like. As of today we are happy to allow this from any pro Onesheet account.
If you already have a Pro Onesheet account, you can arrange your navigation by going to your “Content” tab and clicking...

Add your 8tracks mix to your Onesheet!
Excited to announce today that we now support 8tracks mixes on Onesheet! Their widget is beautiful and we’re psyched to have it as part of our ever growing list of audio options.
About 8tracks (Source: 8tracks):
“On 8tracks, people can do two things: listen to a mix, or create a mix. Listeners can search for a mix by artist or genre, stream it in a legal, radio-style manner, and...

Onesheet Mobile has arrived!
Tens of thousands of entertainment professionals have built beautiful web presences using Onesheet. These gorgeous sites have been visited millions of times. But there’s always been a missing piece: mobile.
While Onesheet looks great on large screens, the mobile experience has been less than ideal. That changes today.
We are rolling out the pilot program for Onesheet Mobile. We’ve...

We just added SoundCloud's Email Unlock

Custom Domains are Finally Here!
Last year, we released the basic version of our custom domain product. It enabled users to forward their domain to their Onesheet page and “mask” the URL. The solution wasn’t ideal, but it worked for the past few months.
Today, we are thrilled to officially announce full support for custom domains! The way we had it before, there were a lot of issues, including missing data when...
What a Week! The Grammy Awards and Starting at...
As I begin this first tumbl, I wanted to introduce myself and touch on a few of my interests, one of which had its most important weekend of the year- The Grammy Awards. I am a music lover (yes, even Country), a technology junkie, and big sports fan- mainly The Saints, all things LSU, The Lakers, and Dodgers. I grew up in New Orleans and then moved to Southern California which explains my ...

Beta Test REAL Custom Domains for you Onesheet
We launched custom domains months ago, but we only offer domain redirecting. We are now working on the next version of using your own domain with Onesheet, and need some beta testers. This will require you to change your A-Record to settings that we give you, but will be a MUCH MUCH better solution.
So, if you are interested in beta testing this, please fill out the following form and we will be...

Musician's Arsenal reversed opinion, says... →
This is a pretty big deal. Before, when Jason from Ariel Publicity reviewed Onesheet, he had a lot of amazing things to say, but unfortunately, he said:
“while I don’t want to give the impression that creating a Onesheet excludes you from needing a website, this is a fantastic option that can take care of your web presence needs while you build a website the right way.”
In his review of the...

Onesheet has a redesigned user dashboard!
Since Onesheet launched, the user dashboard has been lacking. Yesterday, we fixed that.
The next time you log into Onesheet, you’ll notice a much slicker user homepage that should be much easier to use. Over the next few months, we’ll be adding a lot more tools here that will make your Onesheet even more powerful!

iTunes Comes to Onesheet
Apple is a massive force in the entertainment industry, and mostly because of its digital stores. You can instantly buy music, movies, TV shows, apps, and even books with a single click. In fact, almost every Onesheet creator has content for sale on iTunes.
So it’s about time we brought iTunes to Onesheet.
Starting today, every user has access to embed a widget on their Onesheet that can...

Editing your Onesheet just got a whole lot simpler
Some of you might have noticed some changes to how your edit your Onesheets yesterday. When we relaunched our site to include support for multiple widgets, we add two areas where you edited content for your Widgets and Navigation Bar. After talking to a bunch of users, we got feedback that we were overcomplicating things. So yesterday, we released the new Settings Bar.
It’s designed to be...

Huge server upgrade completed
Today we made the largest infrastructure upgrade in the history of Onesheet. Since the launch last week, we’ve seen unprecidented levels of traffic and usage. That led our site to be pretty sluggish over the past few days.
We’re very very sorry about that. While we’ve been working to keep things online, we realized pretty quickly that a massive upgrade was needed. We worked all...

Introducing the New Onesheet
About 2 months ago, we surveyed our tens of thousands of users, asking things like “What’s your favorite feature?”, “What’s missing?”, “What do you think of the Pro plan?” We got a ton of responses, and have been working for the past month to build solutions for some very common requests.
Today, we’re releasing a new version of Onesheet that...

Choose specific sets/albums for your media player!

Onesheet asks you for your Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Mixcloud username, and then grabs your default player to display on your Onesheet. That’s a perfect solution for 90% of users, but some want more control over the exact music that’s displayed.
And today, we’re providing that control.
Now, when you choose what media player...

Right after we launched Onesheet, we introduced Pro Preview. Essentially, Pro Preview was a way for all users to get access to future premium features for free while we were developing them.
The response was amazing, and we really appreciate all the users who helped us test the pro features. In fact, we appreciate their help so much that we are giving all the users who joined the Pro Preview 50%...

When we launched Onesheet, we didn’t include “Music” in the navigation because the music was displayed in the media player. Adding it in the navigation would be redundant.
But then not too long after launch, we added the ability to feature a video in the media player area. Our users adored this, but that didn’t love the fact that if they wanted to feature video, they lost...

Admit it, you’ve put up with MySpace for too long. It used to be an amazing place to display your music/videos and communicate with your fans. Now, you communicate with fans on Facebook and Twitter and your media is spread all over the web. Your MySpace page is probably a barren wasteland. And recent MySpace “profile enhancements” have probably made your profile feel a lot less...

Background images can now be full screen
If I remember correctly, the first email I got after launching Onesheet was “how big should I make the background image”. Since then, I’ve gotten this question probably 100 times through email, tweets, etc… Usually, accompanying is this question “Can I just set the background image to fill the whole screen.” Every time I responded with “Sorry, that’s...

To keep our pricing simple and affordable, we’re offering the Pro Onesheet...

When we launched, we had very limited support for collecting fan email addresses with your Onesheet.

After getting tons of requests to add other services, we realized it would take a very long time to make everyone happy, so today we’re...

To set them up, simply get the URL for the playlist and enter it in the Services section of your...

Remove the Onesheet header with one click!

We understand that you create these pages to show off your brand, not ours. So today, we say “Onesheet logo be dammed!”
That’s right. With the click of one button, you...

Meta tags are used by search engines to understand what’s on the website, which means the more accurate the meta tags are, the more likely the page will show up in search results.
