# EPK Builder Pro — v11.1 EPK Builder and Design Catalog

Create a responsive electronic press kit and preview it before saving. The design catalog contains 1,000 named looks: 25 structurally distinct page architectures, eight visual identities and five motion systems. Designs can be filtered by architecture, artistic direction, motion and music-industry audience.

## Sign up inside EPK Builder

Select **Create free account** above the editor or in Publish. Register with an email address and password, or choose Sign in to use your existing member account. Your unsaved editing choices remain on the page. Once signed in, choose Save Draft or Publish Options. Artist pages are hosted at `https://BoothbysWorkShop.com/ArtistEPKS/artist-name`.

## Create a professional EPK

1. Enter artist name, genre, city, short bio, full biography, and professional booking email.
2. Add representative music and video URLs. Add a press cover image and, if available, another credited press photograph.
3. Enter only verified press coverage, achievements and confirmed show dates. Include a technical rider link when appropriate.
4. Open Designs and select a layout built around your intended recipient: booking, festival, press, label or radio. All looks can be previewed before upgrading.
5. Review the live page at desktop, tablet and mobile widths. Check links, images, text wrapping and motion. The preview does not require a login; saving and publishing do.
6. Save, publish or export only when your member entitlement permits. Free hosting and access to 20 distinct designs are available to registered members; paid plans are coming soon.

All appearances are generated from one shared catalog so the selected design should render consistently in preview and published output. If motion distracts from the content, choose Still. Reduced-motion preferences are respected.

Research and design rationale: `/EPK/DESIGN-RESEARCH-v8.0.md` (part of release source, not a visitor-facing marketing claim).

## Visual editor in v11.1

Use Edit for your complete profile and design fields. Select a page section from the navigator or preview to open the inspector. Change the selected text field and use Hide/Show section where applicable. Double-click the artist name, tagline, biography, or eligible text in the preview to edit directly. Move sections using drag and drop on desktop or the up/down buttons on touchscreens. Undo and Redo restore recent local changes. **Save** or **Publish** is necessary to store changes on the site; the local recovery copy is only on that device. Use **Clear local copy** to remove it. The recovery copy is not encrypted and should not be used on shared devices. Browser and device support can vary.

## Section and layout controls in v11.1

The Design panel has five curated structures: Artist story, Festival stage, Press dossier, Booking sheet and Music gallery. These pick actual distinct architectures from the existing catalog; they are not five new third-party designs. You can further select themes, motion, colors and fonts.

Use the inspector to edit and hide selected sections. **Press Photography** is an independent show/hide control. Press **Add a section** to restore a hidden section, or use **Move up** and **Move down** when drag is unavailable. Preview-only empty sections do not appear on the published page. Save or Publish while logged into a registered account. Publishing and delivery have not been certified on the live host.

## Editing workflow
On desktop, select Artist, Designs, Media, Sections, or Publish in the left sidebar. The full-page live preview fills the area on the right. Choose any page section or the section strip above the preview to open its editor in the sidebar. Select **All editing tools** to return to the main tabs. Use **Save draft** to store your changes after signing in, or **Publish options** to manage a published page. On mobile, switch between Edit and Preview as needed.

On phones, choose **Edit** to change content and **Preview** to see the artist page. Choose **Edit content** above the preview to return to the editor. Save Draft or Publish Options stores your work when signed in.
