The acting industry is built on first impressions. When an agent pitches you or a casting director Googles your name, what do they find? A scattered Instagram feed? A rigid IMDb page you can't control?
A professional website is your digital stage, a controlled environment where you dictate the narrative, showcase your range, and make it effortless for decision-makers to say "yes" to an audition. The 10-Second Audition (Headshots & Branding)
Casting directors are overwhelmed. They do not have time to scroll through social media to find a photo that actually looks like you. Your website must serve as an instant, high-quality press kit.
- High-Res Galleries: We build fast-loading galleries that display your headshots in high resolution. Whether you are selling "Corporate Lawyer" or "Scrappy Underdog," your "Type" should be immediately clear.
- Downloadable Assets: Make it easy for agents. We include functionality for industry professionals to download your headshot and resume with a single click, saving them time and keeping you on their "shortlist."
The Showreel: No Buffering Allowed
Your reel is your most important asset. If it takes too long to load or requires a password they don't have, they move on to the next actor.
- Seamless Embeds: We embed your reels directly from Vimeo or YouTube. This ensures high-definition playback on any device without bogging down your website's speed.
- Segmented Clips: Don't force them to watch a 5-minute drama reel to find your comedy chops. We organize your media into specific categories, "Dramatic Reel," "Comedic Reel," "Voiceover Demos", so the casting director sees exactly what they need for the specific role they are casting.
The Searchable Resume
A PDF resume is standard, but an HTML resume is searchable. By putting your credits directly on the page, you help Google understand who you are.
- Special Skills SEO: When a producer searches for "Actor who plays guitar in [City]" or "Stage Combat certified," a text-based resume on your site helps you rank for those specific, high-value skills.
- Easy Updates: You booked a new co-star role? Great. Your resume needs to reflect that today, not next month.
Directing the Traffic: Agent vs. Direct Booking
Your website needs to handle the business side of your career appropriately, depending on your representation status.
-
Representation Links: If you are signed, your contact page should clearly route inquiries to your agent or manager. This shows professionalism and ensures protocol is followed.
- Direct Contact: If you are non-union or freelancing, we build secure contact forms that protect your personal email address while allowing indie producers to reach you for work.
Worry-Free Support for the Working Actor
You should be focusing on learning lines, not learning WordPress. - We Handle the Updates: With our Worry-Free Support, you don't need to be tech-savvy. Did you just get new headshots? Did you land a role on a new series? Just email us the files or the credit, and we update your site for you. You stay camera-ready; we keep the site industry-ready.

1. Do I need a website if I have IMDb Pro?
Yes. IMDb is rigid and controlled by Amazon. You cannot change the layout, the background, or the branding. A website gives you total control over how you are perceived and allows you to highlight the work you want to feature, not just what the algorithm chooses.
2. Can I upload my voiceover demos?
Absolutely. We create dedicated audio players for voice actors. Agents can listen to your commercial, animation, or narration demos directly on the page without downloading large files.
3. Can I link to my social media?
Yes, but we recommend keeping it as a secondary element. Social media is for engagement; your website is for conversion (getting the job). We include discreet social icons so fans can follow you, but the focus remains on your professional materials.
