What length will the episodes be? What format will you go for? What audio hardware and software will you use? How will you promote and grow your show? And what about a website?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019re going to explore the best podcast website options and make that decision easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator separator-top\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-group has-background section-aside\" style=\"background-color:#ffde82\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h4>A quick bit of terminology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Platform:<\/strong> In this article we\u2019ll refer to anything that you can use to build your website as a website \u2018platform\u2019. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator separator-bottom\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>Does your podcast need a website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no rule stating that all podcasts need a website and maybe you\u2019ll get on just fine without one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some advantages to having a podcast website include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Somewhere to send people to subscribe<\/li><li>Improved discoverability (through search engines)<\/li><li>A place for listeners, guests and potential sponsors to find out more about you<\/li><li>Community building through comments, forums and newsletters<\/li><li>Monetization opportunities (e.g. advertising, merchandise, downloads, etc)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Understand your audience through analytics<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the rest of this article, we\u2019re going to assume that you have decided that a podcast website is right for you. The next question: what platform should I use?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Podcast website platforms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly any web platform can be used for a podcast website and there are some that cater to podcasting &#8211; so the choice is huge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could slice up the website platform market in many different ways, but I\u2019m going to separate it into the following three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><a href=\"#podcast-host-websites\">Podcast host websites<\/a> &#8211; Quick and easy<\/li><li><a href=\"#website-builders\">Website builders<\/a> &#8211; Custom design without coding<\/li><li><a href=\"#custom-websites\">Custom websites<\/a> &#8211; Limitless possibilites<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/getaudiogram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2-cost-vs-customization-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getaudiogram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2-cost-vs-customization-2.png 700w, https:\/\/getaudiogram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2-cost-vs-customization-2-300x177.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"podcast-host-websites\"><strong>Podcast host websites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By \u2018podcast host websites\u2019 I\u2019m referring to the \u2018free\u2019 websites that come with some podcast hosting providers. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodnewspodcast.fm\/\">Transistor offers a free website<\/a> for podcasts hosted on their platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sample of podcast hosts that offer websites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/\">Buzzsprout<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/\">PodBean<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/transistor.fm\/\">Transistor<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/libsyn.com\">LibSyn<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.captivate.fm\/\">Captivate<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As the cheapest and easiest option, podcast host websites can be perfect for podcasters who are just starting out and looking for a simple solution. Most of these hosts will also allow you to use your own domain name (if you have one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Customization<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The speed and price advantages of this option come at the cost of decreased functionality and customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s usually possible to make some simple customizations (for example, adding a logo and choosing a couple of brand colors) but not much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of functionality, you will get an embedded player, subscribe buttons, the ability to create extra pages of basic text, possibly Google Analytics integration, but that\u2019s probably about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perfect for&#8230;<\/strong><br>New podcasters who want to get up and running quickly and inexpensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Easy and quick to set up<\/li><li>Free<\/li><li>Already integrated with your

Some of the most popular website builders include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squarespace.com\/templates\">Squarespace<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wix.com\/website\/templates?criteria=podcast&amp;page=1\">Wix<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/search\/podcast\/\">WordPress.com<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator separator-top\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-group has-background section-aside\" style=\"background-color:#ffde82\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>A word on WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confusingly, WordPress comes in two \u2018flavours\u2019 &#8211; WordPress.<strong>com<\/strong> and WordPress.<strong>org<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress.<strong>com<\/strong> offers a &#8220;Website Builder&#8221; experience, you simply register for an account and start configuring your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress.<strong>org<\/strong> falls into the &#8220;Custom Website&#8221; category, you&#8217;ll need to download and install the code onto your own hosting service, and typically requires code and configuration to get up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They both share a similar interface and both have the concept of themes and plugins for customizing style and functionality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator separator-bottom\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Most website platforms will have both free and premium themes to choose from.

For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/showcase\/best-wordpress-themes-for-podcasters\/\">this article lists 19 podcast themes for WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an upfront investment needed when going down this route. That investment will mostly be time &#8211; researching the best platform for your needs, finding and customizing your theme, adding your podcast player, adding content, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This option will also be slightly more expensive. You\u2019ll have to pay for a domain name, platform fees, and premium themes (if needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Customization<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On the plus side, the templates offered by website builders give you much more flexibility with regards to the look and feel of your website and also the functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of customization available will depend on the platform that you use and the theme\/template that you go for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Perfect for&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasters who want a more branded and feature-rich website than available from a

websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your podcast is more than just a hobby or a side-project you might want to invest in a custom made podcast website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A custom website will be designed and built exactly to your needs. This option allows for any combination of styling and functionality and the only limitations are your imagination and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>When to build a custom podcast website<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be possible to shoe-horn your designs and functional requirements into a website builder, but sometimes the results can be visually lacking, difficult to use and unstable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find that you (or your designer) are working too hard to bend a website builder site to your needs, it might be time to consider a custom build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A custom website will allow you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Achieve the exact \u2018look and feel\u2019 that you want<\/li><li>Integrate any systems and tools to help with your marketing, analytics and distribution<\/li><li>Control the onsite SEO of your website, including, URL structure, meta tags, etc.<\/li><li>Categorize content in as many ways as you need to<\/li><li>Cross-promote other products and services<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Customization<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s really no limit to how far you can customize the site when you go for a custom website build. It&#8217;s just a matter of how much time or money you want to invest in building your presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Custom websites are by far the most expensive option and the price will depend on your requirements, the platform that you develop on, and the developer that you decide to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Perfect for&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional podcasters or brand podcasts who put a high value on branding and audience building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Pros<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Unique look and feel<\/li><li>Matched exactly to your brand<\/li><li>Any functionality you need<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Cons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Expensive<\/li><li>Long lead time&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Examples<\/h4>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wp-block-eedee-block-gutenslider
