Home › Cinematic websites
The high end
One page, one continuous shot, and your scroll is the timeline. No video player, no buffering, no autoplay fight with a phone. Below: a client site that is live today, eight demos we built to prove the technique, and exactly how it is made.
A cinematic page is not a video dropped into a website. The footage is taken apart into still frames, and a canvas paints whichever frame matches where you are on the page.
Scroll down and the film plays forward. Scroll up and it plays backward. The words are pinned to the moment in the footage they belong to.
Built for a client, live today
Danit is a para-medical cosmetician whose clients found her on Instagram and had nowhere good to land. We built her a cinematic one-page site around her own Instagram work: one unbroken shot, the copy pinned to the footage, the booking route one tap away. Written right to left, because a cinematic page has to read as naturally in Hebrew as it does in English or Spanish.
Open danitbuzaglo.comThe same build as the demos below, with your footage or footage we shoot: the film cut into frames, a page that plays it by scroll, your words placed on the exact moment they belong to, and the phone, the booking link or the shop as the last frame. It lives on your domain like everything else we build.
Ask whether your place suits itThe demos
These are our own pieces, not client sites. We build them so there is something real to show before anyone signs anything. Three of them are live and open in a new tab; the other five play as full previews.
Jeweller · Miami Design District
High jewellery made on the premises. The camera holds on a single piece under one warm light until the shape reads, then the page walks you through the workshop. Built for a jeweller who sells one piece at a time and whose Instagram already does the talking.
Open the siteMed spa · Coral Gables
A single-provider med spa. The camera opens on the bay, drops through the palms and walks you in past reception, the whole arrival before a word of copy. The treatments and the booking link arrive once you are already inside.
Open the siteRestaurant · Cliffside
A twenty-eight cover room on a cliff. One unbroken shot from four hundred feet up, through the arches and back out over the water at sundown. The menu and the reservation are the last thing you reach, when the room has already made the case.
Open the siteNeurotechnology
A face mapped in green light, the network drawn over it as the page moves. Made for a technology launch where the product is an idea and the page has to make it visible.
Watch the full previewArtificial intelligence
Fibre optics opening into the dark, the headline arriving one line at a time. A brand launch with one idea and one page to say it on.
Watch the full previewStadiums and sport
Shot from inside the car, arriving at the ground on the morning of a match. For venues, clubs and events where the arrival is half the experience.
Watch the full previewNature film
A glass sphere resting on a fallen branch while the forest wakes up behind it. Built for a documentary maker, a lodge or anyone whose product is a place outdoors.
Watch the full previewLocksmith
A key that turns into a skyline. The whole brand mark drawn in one move, to show that a trade business can have a cinematic front page too, on top of its town pages.

How it is built
Three steps, in this order. Skipping any of them is what makes most scroll animation feel cheap.
Twelve seconds, no cuts. Cuts are what break the illusion. Scroll back up through an edit and it reads as a glitch rather than a film. You send us the footage, or we go and shoot it.
The clip becomes a sequence of still images served as WebP, around 145 of them and about 7 MB for the whole thing. Lighter than most image-heavy homepages, and cached for a month after the first visit.
A canvas paints whichever frame matches your scroll position, and the copy is pinned to the moment in the footage it belongs to. No video player, no buffering, no autoplay fight with iOS.
The rest of the build is the same as every page we make: plain files on your own domain, your phone and your booking link first, and a person who answers when you write.
Who it is for
Best for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook pages, and any business that lives on social media and has never had a website worth sending people to.
A contractor needs a page for every town he drives to. That is a different job, and we do it on the other side of this business.
This side is for the company whose whole case is what the place looks and feels like before anyone walks in. A room, a piece, a coastline, a face. If one photograph of it already sells the thing, twelve seconds of it sells it harder.
One page. No menu to get lost in, and no second click before the pitch lands.
Questions
Yes. That is the reason it is built from frames and not from a video: phones refuse to autoplay video with sound, they buffer, and they drain the battery. Frames painted on a canvas do none of that. Try the Solene demo on your phone.
No. If you have a good clip, twelve seconds without cuts, we use it. If not, we go and shoot it, or we build the shot from your photographs and your Instagram, the way we did for Danit Buzaglo.
Yes. Danit's site is in Hebrew, written right to left. English and Spanish are what we work in every day; other languages we build with the client checking every line.
About 7 MB for the whole film, in around 145 WebP frames, cached for a month after the first visit. Lighter than most image-heavy home pages, and nothing has to buffer.
Yes. Solera above is exactly that idea: a cinematic front page for a locksmith, with a page for every town underneath it. The two sides of the studio are built to fit together.
It depends on whether the footage exists and how much of the page needs writing. Send us the place and you get a figure back, usually the same day. How pricing works.
One message is enough
Tell us what the place is and we will tell you whether it suits this treatment. A person reads it and a person replies, usually the same day, in English or Spanish.
