Common questions about your custom videographer website.
Video is served at the right size with a poster frame and no autoplay of heavy files, so the page scores well and the reel still starts quickly when someone presses play.
Yes. A marketing manager and an engaged couple are judging completely different things, and one combined reel weakens both pitches.
Scope, timeline, and a budget range. Video budgets vary enormously, and asking early keeps you from scoping a project that was never fundable.
A flat one-time fee, quoted after a short scoping call. No monthly platform charges, and you own the code outright.
Yes. You get a simple editor for the parts that change — hours, prices, services, photos — without needing a developer or a monthly plan.
