# Quickstart

> Get your band's website together in just a few minutes

## 1. Create an Account

<img className="block" src="https://mintcdn.com/monophonicio/0d1fTh5MEb9s5Csc/images/login.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0d1fTh5MEb9s5Csc&q=85&s=e9ddbf3cfb16fa3ffc40d139ffdc17b5" alt="Monophonic.io Login / Sign-Up Screen" width="2506" height="1534" data-path="images/login.png" />

To get your band's website launched, start by visiting [https://manage.monophonic.site/signup](https://manage.monophonic.site/signup) and, well, sign up. No credit card needed, and you'll get a 14-day trial.

Next, you'll enter some information about your band / you as an artist:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Your name">
    Enter your first and last name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Artist Information">
    Next, you'll enter the name of your band or of yourself as an artist.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Subdomain">
    By default, you get a monophonic subdomain, e.g. "myband.monophonic.site", so enter your desired subdomain (you'll be able to connect a custom domain if you want later on)
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 2. Add Content

Monophonic.io supports various kinds of content to display in your site, including Tracks, Shows, Photos, Videos, and others. Before you can show any of this conent in your site, you'll need to add it to the system.

To add content, just visit the content area... you'll see a button to add new content of that type. Click that and add away!

Once you've added some content, the last step is to create "Sections" for your website. A Section is just a part of the site that shows off some of your content, like your latest single or music video.
