1. Start with the Artist template
Begin by previewing the Artist website template. The Artist template is available on Free and contains one editable page. Free allows one website with up to one page, making this a practical starting point for an independent artist who wants a single place for selected work, a short services overview, music or release links, upcoming dates, and ways to make contact.
Before editing, outline a simple sequence: introduction, selected work, services, music or release links, dates, and contact routes. Keep repeated information out of the page. Decide which images represent your current practice and which services you actually want visitors to enquire about. A focused page is easier to maintain than a collection of unrelated material.
If you are still deciding between formats, browse the website templates. The Artist option remains the relevant choice for this guide because its purpose is sharing art, music, and upcoming dates on a one-page layout. Treat it as a starting framework: you still decide which supported sections to add, what to show first, and where each external link should lead.
2. Build the page with sections available on Free
On Free, build the main page with Text, Gallery, Links, Contact, Social, Save Contact, and Events sections. Use Text for an introduction, service descriptions, biography, release notes, or explanations of past work. These are ordinary text blocks, not premium service or profile layouts. Use Gallery for a curated set of images that demonstrates your work without turning the page into an exhaustive archive.
Arrange the strongest work near the top and give each section one clear purpose. Contact can present the contact details you choose to publish, while Links can point to a portfolio, release page, listening platform, or enquiry provider already used by your business. Social should connect only to accounts you maintain. Use Save Contact when you want to offer visitors a clear contact-saving route.
Use Events for upcoming dates, event names, locations, and any short practical details you can accurately supply. The Events section organizes information displayed on the website; it does not by itself create registrations, ticket sales, availability rules, confirmations, or a customer-management system. If an external provider handles those tasks, link to that provider separately and describe it according to its own service.
- Text: add a short introduction, services, selected biography, or release information.
- Gallery: curate representative images that show the work you want visitors to notice.
- Links and Social: point to relevant work and connect only the profiles you actively maintain.
- Contact and Save Contact: publish the relevant details and offer a contact-saving route.
- Events: list upcoming dates and concise details without implying built-in registration.
3. Add music, video, and enquiry routes
Free is enough for a text-led, image-led one-page site using the supported sections. Publishing premium section types such as music, video, channels, downloads, call-to-action blocks, image and premium gallery blocks, service grids, FAQs, publications, profiles, testimonials, process sections, and other premium layouts requires Lite SME or Business. You may draft premium sections before upgrading, but Free cannot publish them.
If music is central to your identity, decide whether release links in the Links section are enough. If you need a dedicated music or video block, compare QREasy plans and choose Lite SME or Business before publishing those sections. Image sliders and editorial layouts also require one of those paid plans, so start with a simple Gallery if you plan to remain on Free.
Be precise about enquiries. QREasy does not provide a verified native customer contact form or submission inbox. For commissions, lessons, bookings, or general messages, use a telephone, email, WhatsApp, or a link to a separate enquiry or booking provider that the business already uses. If that provider offers forms or confirmations, describe them as the provider’s functions. A link alone does not mean QREasy receives, schedules, or confirms the enquiry.
4. Review, publish, and update the same address
When the first draft is complete, review spelling, image choices, link destinations, contact details, and date entries. Preview the page at different screen sizes, then use the publish control. The published website is hosted by QREasy and needs an internet connection to load. Open the resulting address on a phone before promoting it, test every visible link, and make sure each tap opens the intended external service.
After publishing, use the same website address for future edits. When a gallery image, service description, release link, contact detail, or date changes, edit the relevant section and publish the update again. Content served at the same address can change without moving the page, so visitors and QR codes that already point there do not need to be replaced because of a routine content edit.
A simple maintenance routine prevents outdated dates from dominating the page. At the start of each month, check Events, remove finished dates if appropriate, refresh Gallery images, and confirm that Contact and Links still work. For a release, add its link and supporting text, then republish. Make one focused update at a time and review the live address afterward rather than changing several pieces without checking.
5. Share the site with QR codes and Wallet cards
Create a static URL QR that encodes the published website address using the QREasy QR code generators. The encoded URL stays fixed, while the hosted content at that same address can be edited without changing or reprinting the code. If you later move the site to a different encoded URL, create a new static QR. Free includes unlimited static QR codes, and a hosted website does not require a dynamic QR merely because its content changes.
Use a dynamic QR when you want a managed redirect rather than a fixed destination. Its destination can be changed without reprinting, subject to plan limits: Free allows one dynamic QR, Lite SME allows 50, and Business allows 357. Static and dynamic QR codes do not guarantee successful scanning on every device, so test the code with the phones and cameras you expect visitors to use and keep a plain link as a fallback.
Wallet cards offer another sharing route. Contact Wallet cards are included with Free, while a website-linked Wallet card requires Lite SME or Business. On a website-linked card, the QR encodes the website URL and opens the site in the phone browser; it does not run the website inside Wallet. QREasy supports Apple Wallet and Google Wallet journeys, and Google Wallet also includes a Visit Page link. Website access still needs an internet connection.
