Visitor Experience

When someone lands on your published public portfolio page, they enter a curated space designed to showcase selected music and make it easy for potential clients to connect with you. Public requests do not require an account, but an unpublished page is not publicly available.

What Visitors See First

Section titled “What Visitors See First”

Your public page opens with a bold header that immediately establishes your brand. The banner image you choose fills the top of the screen, followed by your profile photo, artist name, and bio. This header section gives visitors the context they need before diving into your music.

Below the header, visitors find your social links as clickable icons — Instagram, SoundCloud, YouTube, or whatever platforms you’ve connected. They can follow you on their preferred platform without leaving your page.

The rest of the page is organized into the selected bucket sections. The renderer keeps section order deterministic and exposes no more than 10 visible tracks total across all sections.

Browsing Your Music

Section titled “Browsing Your Music”

Your tracks appear in either grid or card format depending on what you selected for each section. The grid view shows smaller thumbnails in a tight layout — good for giving visitors many options at a glance. The cards view displays larger track cards in a horizontal scroll — better for letting each track breathe and show more detail.

Depending on its display mode, a visible track can render:

  • Album artwork — a colorful geometric shape or pattern generates automatically if you haven’t uploaded artwork
  • Song title — the track name prominently displayed
  • Duration — how long the track runs
  • Play button — the entry point for audio preview

This layout lets visitors quickly scan your catalog and decide which tracks interest them most.

Audio Playback

Section titled “Audio Playback”

Clicking the play button on any track opens your persistent waveform player at the bottom of the screen. This player stays visible as visitors browse, so they can listen while exploring more of your work.

The waveform player includes:

  • Visual waveform — a colorful visualization showing the track’s audio landscape
  • Progress bar — visitors can click anywhere on the waveform to jump to that spot
  • Time display — current position and total duration shown clearly
  • Play and pause — a large circular button for easy control
  • Volume slider — adjust playback loudness
  • Next-track behavior — the player may auto-advance within the same bucket

The player uses the page accent color. It may persist volume locally; both volume persistence and auto-advance are SHOULD behaviors rather than guarantees.

Contacting You

Section titled “Contacting You”

If you’ve enabled the contact form, visitors see a “Contact” section at the bottom of your page. This section lets potential clients reach out directly — perhaps to discuss licensing a track, request a custom project, or simply ask questions about your work.

The renderer can include the configured contact form when show_contact_form is enabled. This article does not promise a particular delivery or notification implementation for a submitted message.

Section titled “Featured Collaborators”

If you’ve added collaborators to your public page, visitors see a dedicated section showcasing the people you work with. This could include vocalists you’ve produced for, mix engineers you’ve partnered with, or other artists in your network.

Each collaborator can appear with an avatar fallback, name, and featured status from the saved public-page collaborator list.

Page Availability

Section titled “Page Availability”

Your public page URL is based on your display name: thelibrary.fm/pages/your-name/. Share it anywhere — your social bios, email signatures, business cards, or music industry platforms.

The page is publicly available while it is published. Confirm changes through the owner preview before relying on them in a public campaign.

If you unpublish your page, the URL returns an error. This gives you complete control — your page is live when you want it to be and hidden when you need a break.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • Choose your best tracks first — visitors often judge your sound within the first few songs they hear. Put your strongest work at the top of your most prominent sections.
  • Keep your bio concise — visitors scanning your page don’t need your full life story. A punchy two to three sentence bio that captures your sound and experience works best.
  • Update your banner regularly — a fresh banner image keeps your page feeling current and gives repeat visitors something new to notice.
  • Review the rendered visible set — the page caps all visitor-accessible content at 10 tracks across selected sections.
