Showtape Test

The Showtape Project

An easy-to-use, maintainable website platform for performers.

Our first product lets groups build a website to promote their group and their shows, and creates a showcase of their photos and vides by integrating with services like Vimeo, YouTube, and iTunes. It’s easy to use, visually stunning, and deeply customizable. Eventually, we hope to make it a network for dancers and performers, which you can traverse by following the relationships artists and performers have with each other.

Places where the Internet lags behind real life in capturing and sharing our everyday lives are great places to be for a media entrepreneur. There’s a huge opening in the space – arts groups have not traditionally been the fastest to adopt technology, but there are plenty of talented crews looking for a simple, easy-to-use, and impressive web presence. We can fill the gap between cheap templates and expensive freelancers, and by taking the burden of technical maintenance off their shoulders, we can build lasting relationships with our customers.

Performers: Build a portfolio. Showcase your choreography and arrangements. Show off some dance moves. Relive memories.

Everyone else: Think of this as a place to discover all the talent in the neighborhood you never knew about.

The current competitors on the market are Bandpage and Onesheet. Both of them are well-executed, very successful products, but they’re all focusing on professionals, and they only validate the size of the market. And, like About.me, they’re a bit simplistic. We can do better.
