Artist Showcase Page

The Artist Showcase Page

TrackStage’s Artist Showcase is a live, customizable public-facing catalog playlist featuring any tracks you elect to display, separated into categories of your own choosing.

 


Page Formats

The Artist Showcase comes in two formats – Splash Page and Dynamic Header. Both formats include your Artist Name, Bio, Website, and Social Media Links along with a personalized tag line. Both also offer customizable fonts, highlight colour, and featured image. 

 

Splash Page

The Splash Page displays an initial title screen with your name and tag line, with your chosen featured image in the background, along with a Continue button to access your Showcase page. 




 

Dynamic Header

The Dynamic Header is an oversized header with your featured image that dynamically zooms and fades out and in as your page is scrolled down or up. 




 


Themes

For flexibility, the Artist Showcase comes in both dark and light modes.







 

Heading

Your Artist Name, optional Tag Line, website URL (if available) and your Bio appear alongside your Profile Image. Below, you will find button links to any social media accounts that you have set up in your User Profile. 




 

Sections

The tracks you opt to share are categorized into customized accordion sections. You can create different sections for genres, albums, types, artists – you name it. 




 

Tracks

Tracks are displayed within section accordions and display the Title, Album Artwork, Artist Name and the track Description. Descriptions are scrollable if they exceed the space allowed onscreen. In addition, listeners can access any lyrics or video by clicking on the buttons to the left of the Description. Tracks that do not have lyrics or video will show disabled buttons. 




 

Playback Features

Clicking on a track opens the player and auto-plays showing the Song Title, Artist, a scrubbable waveform, track length, and playback controls. The listener can progress through each song in the playlist by clicking the Next and Previous controls.

Your Artist Showcase is a live showcase, so you can immediately add/remove sections, tracks, and perform updates just by saving them in your TrackStage CATALOG.
