Your reel is excellent. Your website is losing you the job.
Five builds for video production companies and filmmakers across Minnesota and California, including two founders who came back for a second project.
What does a video production company need from a website?
A video production site has to clear one bar: a prospect should believe you can do the work before they press play. That means the work loads instantly, the site looks as considered as the reel inside it, and there is one link you can send with confidence instead of a folder of Vimeo URLs.
The problem is rarely the work
Video people are the one group who almost never have a portfolio problem. What they have is a site that undercuts the work it contains. A prospect who watches a beautiful reel on a slow, dated, badly typeset page does not conclude that the site is behind. They conclude that this is the standard.
- Heavy video embeds that stall the page before anyone sees a frame
- A portfolio buried two clicks deep, when it is the only reason anyone visited
- No pricing signal at all, so every enquiry starts from zero and wastes both parties' time
- Design that reads a decade older than the work it is presenting
- Nothing to send, so the founder ends up pasting individual project links into an email
What we build for video companies
The build is organised around the sixty seconds a prospect spends deciding. Everything that helps them decide gets pulled forward. Everything else gets out of the way.
- Video that loads fast, with posters, lazy loading and formats chosen so the reel starts rather than buffers
- Work first, structured so a prospect can find the piece closest to their own project
- Typography and pacing that match the calibre of the reel, because a mismatch reads as a downgrade
- One URL you can send, replacing the folder of individual project links
- Enough about scope and process to filter out the enquiries that were never going to close
Built to be sent, not just visited
The measure we use for a video site is simple: would the founder send this link to the best prospect they have, unprompted? Brandon was hesitant to send his old site and was reduced to sharing individual project links. Now he sends one URL and it does the job. That is the whole test.
Five video production builds
Two of these are for the same founder, who came back for a second company. That is the part we are proudest of.

Book site reviewWhat video companies ask us.
Will my videos slow the site down?+
Not if they are handled properly. Posters, lazy loading and the right formats mean the page paints immediately and the reel starts when someone asks for it. A slow video site is a build decision, not an inevitability.
Can I add new projects myself?+
Yes. Adding a project should take minutes and should not require us. The build is structured so your team can publish new work without breaking the layout.
Should I show pricing?+
Usually some signal, even if it is a starting range or a description of how projects are scoped. Showing nothing means every enquiry starts from zero, and you spend calls disqualifying people who were never a fit.
Do I own the site?+
Yes. The site, the domain and the files are yours from day one, on every plan, and that stays true if you ever stop working with us.
How long does a build take?+
It depends on scope, and the first conversation gives you a realistic plan rather than a manufactured deadline. Curated by Streeter went from a finished design file to a launch-ready build in two weeks, but that project came in with the design already done.
