A small animation studio website is priced by how much finished work you want to show and how much of your process you need to explain. Clients decide after watching a reel, so the site gets motion in front of them quickly.
The price at a glance
Most animation studios fit Launch Website: $399 one-time for up to 5 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical small animation studio site covers Home with the reel, Work, Process and Contact.
What changes the price for a small animation studio
- ✓Reel and video embedding — Hosting the reel through a video platform and placing it so it loads fast takes care, and several reels add setup
- ✓Work pages with context — Each finished piece needs a short brief describing the client need and your role, which is writing for every project
- ✓Process explanation — Walking through storyboard, design, animation and delivery reassures buyers who have never commissioned animation
- ✓Project brief form — A form that captures goals, length, style and timeline takes more thought than a simple contact box
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A small studio can use a home page with the reel, a work page, a process page and a contact form. Show your strongest five or six pieces with a line each, describe the process in four steps and keep the form simple. A separate page for every project is not required.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Video hosting — Reels play from a video platform you already use, and its plan belongs to that provider
- ✓Music and stock licensing — If your work uses licensed assets, rights are handled outside the website
- ✓Scheduling tool — If you book intro calls through a calendar, we connect it and its plan stays with that provider
- ✓Domain and email — A studio-branded address is a small separate choice
When it makes sense to step up
Move up when you have a large portfolio sorted by style or industry, offer several service lines such as explainers, ads and character work, or want pages for each project with fuller case descriptions. A team page with several artists or a resource section would also need more room.
