DJ Website Design

Are you a DJ interested in building a website like this one? Are you looking for ideas and examples for your design? Wonder what the best DJ website templates are?

Well, if you want more answers to these questions, you’re in the right place.

I’m a DJ, and I’ve had my website online since 2007. I hand-coded my first website, later changed to Joomla v1.0, and since 2012 I’ve been using WordPress. So, I have over 15 years of running this site and 10+ years of experience with WordPress.

I’ve setup 100’s of sites over the years and have a side business providing web hosting, design, and marketing services for local companies.

I used to use shared hosting for my WordPress sites (including this one), but now all my sites run on an optimised Nginx stack provided by CenMinmod. I’m also very familiar with Linux, CentOS and the command line.

As you can see, I have plenty of experience in web hosting, site design, SEO and marketing. And in this area of my site, I write about what it’s like to own and administrate this site, and I also discuss other web related DJ site stuff.

If you have questions about anything DJ site-related, get in touch here. If it’s a good question, I might answer it in a blog post (all reader questions are marked with a QA at the end).
