New: Guides, Radio 101, and Comparison Content Hubs

We have been building RadioSiteMaker to be the easiest way for indie radio stations to get a professional website. But we realized that a great tool is not enough — broadcasters also need knowledge. So today we are launching something new: free content hubs for every radio station owner, whether you use our platform or not.

What We Built

Three content hubs, each focused on a different aspect of running a radio station online:

Guides

Practical how-to articles for building and managing your radio station website. Topics include setting up a live player, designing your site for listeners, accepting donations, promoting events, managing podcasts, and more. These are step-by-step walkthroughs written for real broadcasters — not generic marketing advice.

Radio 101

Educational content about the radio industry itself. From how internet radio works to licensing, equipment, scheduling, and audience growth. Whether you are launching your first station or have been broadcasting for years, Radio 101 fills in the gaps.

Start here: How to Start an Internet Radio Station and Internet Radio Licensing: What You Need to Know.

Compare

Honest comparisons of the tools and platforms available to radio station owners. WordPress vs managed platforms, website builder breakdowns, cost analyses, and feature comparisons. We include RadioSiteMaker in these comparisons — and we include its limitations too.

Also Available

Showcase highlights live radio station websites built with RadioSiteMaker. Real stations, real designs, real inspiration for your own site.

Changelog (where you are reading this) documents every platform update, new feature, and improvement we ship. Full transparency on what we are building and why.

Free for Everyone

These resources are not gated behind a paywall or a login. Every article is free to read, free to share, and free to bookmark. You do not need to be a RadioSiteMaker customer to benefit from them.

We believe that helping radio station owners succeed — regardless of what platform they use — is good for the entire indie radio community. A rising tide lifts all boats.

What Is Next

We are publishing new articles every week across all three hubs. If there is a topic you want us to cover, reach out — we are listening.
