I just finished my album of 11 songs. Next up is marketing, distribution, and building a composer web site for myself. Can anyone suggest several web hosting sites that have composer or song writer templates? I tried to check out several, but apparently the templates are secret until you sign in and create an account. I need to know up front who has the best templates, and the detailed break down of cost BEFORE spending a lot of time creating accounts.
Another question: CD Baby and Bandcamp. Does anyone have any tips or "don't do this or that" comments when dealing with these companies.
I fully realize that introducing an album can be a mine field. I also understand that good music, even great music, can be hopelessly buried among the millions of songs on the internet and ITunes introduced every year.
Any tips at all will be appreciated. Any.

Bandcamp is reliable. As for CDBaby, I don't know, I've heard good comments about their services though...

as far as templates go...i found i didnt like any of them and it was just as easy to make something myself.
i use ipgage webhosting...i find them to be reasonably priced with a pretty good amount of tools.
you can use their provided templates, you can use wordpress templates...or they have a site builder thats not difficult to use.
granted...i didnt know what i was doing...and i went for a really simple site...but it gets the job done and i could have gone with a more polished look.
as far as bandcamp goes....i find it easy to use, and it does what i need it to.
i dont really know what to say...these are kind of utilitarian services...so the best compliments i can give, are to not really have any complaints...which i dont.
