    The Perfect Design

    Choose from a rich set of designs that have been created especially for barbershop quartets and choruses..

    "KickStart" Content

    When we put your site up, you don't get a bunch of blank pages. You get a complete, working site. All the essential pages typical of a quartet or chorus website are already live, complete with starter content on each page, with your name and info worked into the text.

    Update Your Own Content

    Once your site is up, you take control. No more "waiting for the web person" to update your months-old content. Log in easily to your site any time, right from your browser. You can edit your text in seconds. You can manage pics and audio with point-and-click ease.

    Members Only Section

    This is a must for most choruses - an area on the site that only your members have access to. Upload learning tracks, publish notes on coaching sessions. We give you the tools to keep your ladies, and your sound, connected!

    Audio Player

    Every Connected Sound website comes with a stylish and easy-to-use audio player on your audio page. Your fans can hear your latest competition performance, or new songs you're working on.

    Choruses get a free second audio player that only members have access to. Great to distribute "learning tracks," or to share new song ideas.

    Photo Gallery

    All our sites also come standard with a clean, smart looking flash photo gallery so you can share visuals as well as your sound.

    Events Calendar

    Let your fans know when and where your next gig will be with our user- and visitor- friendly Events Calendar. Add new gigs to your Events page with a simple interface, and make sure your fan base comes out to support your next performance!

    Join Us Section

    For choruses, a major purpose of your web presence is to attract new members. That's why we've taken special care to develop a great marketing campaign for you. An effective set of "Join Us" pages are already laid out for you to help encourage some fresh faces to come in and give it try.

    Press Kit

    A press kit is an excellent publicity tool! Make it easy for the media to get all the facts about your chorus or quartet. We've given you a head start with a Press Kit page reserved for promotional photos, downloadable documents and more.

    Free Domain Name

    If you get a new domain name with us, there is no charge for three years from sign up. If you already have a domain name you're happy with, you can maintain your registration with your current registrar like (GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc) and we can switch the web hosting to the Connected Sound server and receive the three years of a free domain.

    4-Track Audio Pricingl

    Player and Management System Setup...$29.99

    Powerful New Tool

    Your members will have a new and powerful way to learn new material.

    Easy Management

    The player is driven by a very easy audio management system so any admin can easily manage all your audio files.

    Easy as M-P-3

    To get files to sync, all you need is 4 mp3 "part predominant" or "solo" files of a song uploaded to the system. Then in the management area, you specify that those 4 tracks are to be "synced," and the player will then load and play those 4 tracks together. The only requirement of the files is that they be originally derived from a digital source (i.e. not 4 separate cassette machines, etc.) and that the 4 files begin at the same point.

    Need help with synced tracks?

    If your audio files need a little help to get synced, for a one-time charge of $15 per song, we'll take your tracks and make sure they're synced up for you.

    Upload My Audio - $39.99

    Have a CD, but aren't sure how to make mp3's? Let us take care of it. Send a copy of your CD to our mailing address and we'll convert the tracks into mp3 files and upload the music to your audio player. Then, you can organize your tracks with ease using the audio management page that comes with your site.
