Text and other formatting:

There are a number of options that Google Sites allows you to select from. The "Themes" tab in the upper right corner of the Site's editing page is a good place to start. Don't be afraid to experiment.

Bio

Who are you? Why should anyone care? What makes you qualified for the gig? What do you bring to a project that makes you stand out from the competition?
Write your bio in the third person. (They, she, his, NOT I, NOT we, etc.)
Background information
Quick description of what your music/work is like
Career highlights and achievements
The bio is likely the toughest part of an EPK to create/write
- Give yourself time to edit and refine
- This is why the bio is the first part of this project

Work Examples

These should relate directly to and support what you say in your bio
videos
mp3s
- Google Sites does not really like .mp3s so you'll need to use a link.
  - Consider a button for the link to ensure a clean overall look
    - long "random" looking links are considered bad form
  - Go to the "Insert" tab in the upper right corner and scroll down till you see Button.
  - In the window that opens, you'll need to enter . the text that will be on the button, as well as the link (in this case for the .mp3) that the button will go to.
  - You can position the button anywhere you like on your page by moving it with your mouse.
    - You'll also see a number of other options for elements you can insert on to your site.

NOTES

A very easy way to set work samples in to your EPK is to upload them (for example, .mp3s) to your Google drive and then link to those same files with a button in Google sites.
For videos, you can do the same, but if the video is also something you have on Youtube or Vimeo, you can link directly via Google sites.
If your work sample is more of a list (for example, helped to rewire the sound stage, etc.) you might consider setting up a list as part of your EPK and then including a picture of the work. (for example, a picture of the CMAS Soundstage to go along with the description in your list, etc.)

Credibility

Prove that what you claim in your bio is true
Press comments

social media reach

Contact info

They want to hire you. How do they get hold of you?
include social media links (consider adding in the platform's logo and then creating a direct link)
if you include an email address, or anything else that might make use of a direct link, you can select the text (in the case the email address) and then create a link. For email addresses, Google sites will automatically create a link that when clicked will automatically initiate the email. (example: emailaddress@email.com)
