Who you’ll talk to

Chris Sta. Romana, songwriter

Chris writes and releases his own music, and builds every Cold Open site himself. The person on the call is the person who builds the site.

Before the call

Three things people ask

Is it a sales call?

It’s a planning call about your release. Chris says what he’d build and what it costs. If a site isn’t the right move yet, he says that too.

What should I bring?

Your release date and a link to the song, finished or not. That’s enough.

What does a site cost?

A Song World is $2,500 CAD, half to start and half on delivery. Clients 1–3 are $1,500 CAD, for a case study and a review.

Your release, planned on one call

Chris builds about one site a week, so build weeks fill in order.
