What is a Cinematic website?
A website that opens on a short film made for your business: your place, your product and your people, at the level of a brand campaign. It comes with an original score, a desktop cut and a phone cut, and the whole site is built around it. Cinematic starts at US$5,000, a flat fee in writing.

What you getFrom US$5,000
A film, and a site built around it.
The film is the first thing people see, so everything else on the page is set to it: the type, the captions, the way the page moves.
- An original film for your homepage, about 15 to 30 seconds
- Made from your place, your products and your photos, with generated shots where a camera cannot go
- Three directions as stills to choose from, and every frame approved before any film is made
- An original score, off until a visitor turns the sound on
- A desktop cut, a phone cut and a sharp cut for large screens
- Captions that follow the film, and one moment that moves as you scroll
- A still image loads first, so the page is fast on a phone; reduced motion and data saver get the still only
- Everything in 3D and Custom: your own design system, copywriting, up to 10 pages and three rounds of changes
- Three months of the Website Plan free

Cinematic or 3D?Two kinds of motion
A 3D website moves when you scroll: one product or place, turned, opened or explored by the visitor. A Cinematic website opens on a film, several shots that tell a short story about your business, with music. 3D suits one hero object. Cinematic suits a place, a feeling and a story. Both are fast on a phone.
Price and timelineFlat fee
Cinematic websites start at US$5,000, a flat fee in writing within 24 hours of your free demo. The price depends on the number of pages and how much of the film needs new shots. Most take two to six weeks, depending on the pages and the film. You pay 50% to start and 50% before launch, and larger projects can be split into milestones set out in your quote.
Questions7 answers
Cinematic websites start at US$5,000. You get one flat fee in writing after your free demo, and it does not change if the work takes longer.
Partly. We build each film from your own place, products and photos, and generate the shots a camera cannot easily get, such as a view at golden hour or a slow move through a room. Every frame is approved by you, and anything that looks fake is made again.
No. A still image loads first, the film loads after the page, and phones get their own lighter cut. People who prefer less motion, or who are saving data, see the still only.
No. It always starts silent. A visitor can turn the score on with one button.
Yes. The film is part of your site files, which you own, so you can also use it on social media, in ads or on a screen in your shop.
Good footage can go straight into the film. We tell you after the free demo what we can use and what we would make new.
Usually two to six weeks, depending on the pages and the film. The directions come first, so you see where the film is going before anything moves.
