A custom hero video for your homepage.

We make the short looping video at the top of your homepage from your own job photos or a few phone clips: your truck, your work, your area. It isn't stock footage. It plays on desktop, and phones get a still picture so the page stays fast.

Who this is for

Any business with real work to show.

If you have photos from your jobs or can shoot a few short clips on your phone, we can turn them into a video that is clearly yours. It sits at the top of your site, so visitors see your business first.

What we do

What we do, in order.

01

We review your material

We go through the job photos and phone clips you send and pick the ones that show your work best.

02

We cut the video

We edit a short video from your material, built to loop smoothly without a visible jump.

03

We size it to load fast

We compress it so it doesn't slow your page down.

04

We put it on your site

We install it at the top of your homepage. Desktop visitors see the video. Phone visitors see a still picture, which keeps the page quick.

Real result, not a promise

One month after launch, a client's new site outranked established competitors in its own town.

beyondthebrushpainting.ca, a painting business we built and launched, ranked 1st to 3rd in organic Google search results in Welland, Ontario for three separate painting-related searches — one month after it went live. We are not claiming you will rank #1 for everything; we are showing you the one town where we can already point at the search results.

What we need from you

What we need from you.

  • Photos from your jobs, in the best quality you have
  • A few short phone clips, if you have them: your truck, your crew, your work
  • Your logo, if you'd like it in the video
  • A quick note on what you want visitors to notice first

Questions

Why do phones get a still picture?

Video is heavy on a phone connection. A still keeps your page loading quickly for visitors on mobile, which is most of them for many local businesses.

What if I only have photos?

Photos are enough. We can build the video from still pictures. Phone clips make it livelier if you have them.

Do you use stock footage?

No. The point is to show your real work. If your material is thin, we'll tell you what to shoot rather than fill the gaps with footage that isn't yours.

Show your real work the moment they land.
