Showreel hero
A muted loop with a poster frame and captions, so the first screen plays on phones without waiting.
The Problem
Your Showreel Sells the Work, Until It Stalls on a Phone
It shows up when someone taps your link on a phone and the hero video downloads at full size before anything plays.
01 · Heavy reel
The showreel downloads at full size before anything plays.
A muted loop with a poster frame plays first, and the full reel streams on request.
02 · Slow players
Every embedded player loads before anyone presses play.
Players load only when clicked, so film pages stay light on phones.
03 · Thin inquiries
Inquiries ask if you're free, with no venue or hours.
The form asks the date, venue, coverage hours, and deliverables before it sends.
04 · Mixed work
Weddings, ads, and music videos share one long page.
Wedding films and commercial work get separate paths, each led by the work you want.
A couple watches a short clip of yours on Instagram and taps the link in your bio. Your home page starts pulling the full showreel file straight from your web host. The screen stays black while the phone buffers. Below it, every film loads a full player before anyone presses play. The few couples who reach the contact form write "Are you free in June?" with no venue, hours, or budget. You answer at midnight after an edit. Your films are good. The site makes them hard to watch.
We start with where your films live. Each one streams from Vimeo, YouTube, or Wistia, not from your web host. The home page opens on a short muted loop with a poster frame, and full players load only when someone presses play. Every film gets its own page with a title, credits, and captions. The inquiry form asks the date, venue, coverage hours, and deliverables. Couples watch the film, not a spinner.
Reel that plays fast
A short muted loop with a poster frame, and full films streaming from Vimeo, YouTube, or Wistia.
A page for every film
Title, couple or client, credits, and captions on each film page, so search engines and buyers understand it.
Inquiries ready to quote
Date, venue, coverage hours, and deliverables asked up front, then sent to your inbox or CRM.
Our Videography Website Design Process
From Reel Review to Launch in Five Clear Steps
You approve the film plan, the packages copy, a clickable design with your real footage, the tested staging site, and the launch plan before anything goes live.
We watch your reel, open your current site on a phone, and look at where your inquiries come from today. You get a film plan, a page list, and a fixed quote. If a video host's portfolio page already covers you, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Videographer Website Design
A fast showreel hero, a page for every film, packages, a quote-ready inquiry form, video SEO basics, and every account in your name.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Filmmakers Trust Us With Their Showreel
A videographer website lives or dies on how the films play. These habits keep your work looking the way you graded it, on every screen.
Color you graded, color they see
We check poster frames and hero loops for color shifts after compression, on phones and laptops. A muddy thumbnail makes a well-graded film look cheap before it plays.
Every film page phone-tested
We test every film page in PageSpeed Insights and on a mid-range phone over a mobile connection. Couples watch on phones, so that's where the reel has to work.
Captions where speech matters
Hero loops play muted, so we add captions wherever speech carries the story. Captions also serve deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers and anyone watching at work.
Releases checked before launch
We only publish films your couples or clients agreed to show. Your contract or a release should cover every face and every brand on the site.
Licensed music in every reel
We ask whether the music in your reel and hero loop is licensed for web use. A copyright claim can mute or block a film on YouTube.
Films and domain stay yours
Your domain, hosting, and video host account stay in your name. If you move from Vimeo to YouTube later, your film pages and their links come with you.

Good fit
Wedding filmmakers booking a year ahead
You book most weddings a year out, and couples still email to ask which package includes the full ceremony film.
Video production companies
Your video production website lists services, but marketing managers can't find work in their industry or a quick way to request a quote.
Solo shooters outgrowing a host page
Your films live on a video host's portfolio page, and it can't take detailed inquiries, show packages, or show up for your city.
Event and corporate videographers
You film conferences, product launches, and brand stories, and buyers want to see a similar event before they ask for a quote.
Studios with several crews
You run more than one crew, and couples want to see each shooter's style before they choose a date and a package.
Not a fit
Budget under $1,150
Your budget is under $1,150 and you film part-time. A video host's portfolio page or a builder template is the better start until bookings grow.
Stills are your main work
Most of your bookings are photography, with video as an add-on. Our Photography Website Design page fits a stills-first studio better.
Contracts and invoices first
You need contracts, invoices, and booking workflows more than a new site. HoneyBook Website Integration covers connecting that CRM to the site you have.
Films behind a paywall
You want to sell courses or films behind a paywall or a subscription. Membership Website Development is the right build for that.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
Our videography sites start at $1,150 for up to 8 pages, a showreel hero, and 8 film pages. Studio sites with wedding and commercial paths, 25 film pages, and a CRM-connected form start at $2,650. Production company sites with case studies and crew pages start at $4,700. A video host's portfolio page costs less, but it can't take detailed inquiries.
Most launch in 3 to 6 weeks. A reel site takes about 3 weeks once you've picked your films, and production company pages add 2 to 3 weeks. Choosing films and writing credits is usually the slowest part, so we send a simple sheet for titles, couples or clients, and music credits early.
A videography website needs a reel that plays fast, a page per film, packages, an about page, and an inquiry form. Add reviews you have permission to show, the areas you travel to, and links to your Instagram or YouTube channel. Keep each path focused on the work you want more of.
Start with the couples you want and the packages you sell, then build around them. Pick 6 to 10 wedding films that show your style. Write a packages page with coverage hours and deliverables, and add a form that asks the date and venue. Host the films on Vimeo or YouTube, and connect the form to your CRM.
Use a video host, not your web server. Vimeo and Wistia give you a clean player and privacy controls, while YouTube adds reach but can suggest other channels' videos when a film ends. Self-hosting large files slows pages and eats hosting bandwidth. Many filmmakers keep full films on Vimeo and post trailers to YouTube.
Not if it's built right. The page opens on a short muted loop, usually under 10 seconds, with a poster frame, and full players load only when someone presses play. We compress the loop with FFmpeg, set it to play inline on iPhones, and test the page in PageSpeed Insights on a mid-range phone.
Give each film its own watch page, with the video as the main content, a written title and description, and VideoObject schema. A video sitemap helps Google find the films. Add pages for the venues and areas you film, plus a Google Business Profile. Ongoing SEO work, like content and links, is a separate monthly program.
Yes, if you sell to businesses. Marketing managers want to see a film like the one they need, with the brief, what you delivered, and how it was used. We write case study pages from facts you and your client approve, and we only show logos and results you have permission to share.
Yes. The inquiry form sends each lead to your CRM, such as HoneyBook or Dubsado, through its form embed or Zapier, and a Calendly link can book consultation calls. Contracts, invoices, and payment plans stay in that CRM. Client film delivery stays on the platform you already use, linked from a clients page.
You do. The domain, hosting, and video host accounts are registered to you, and every login is handed over at launch. Support covers fixes and questions for 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on your plan. Later, you can add films on your own, or a monthly care plan handles updates, backups, and plugin patches.
