Launching an animation studio site is mostly choosing the right reel and a handful of finished pieces. The rest is a plain explanation of how a project runs.
How the launch unfolds
Day 1-2: You send the reel link, selected projects, styles and process notes, and we confirm the page plan.
Week 1: We build the home page around the reel, then the work, process and contact pages, and share a preview.
Week 2: You correct project descriptions and approve the brief form fields.
Launch: We test on a phone, check load speed and publish; a 48-hour launch is possible for eligible projects with content ready.
What to gather before you start
- ✓Reel link — A short, strong reel hosted on a platform you use, ready to embed
- ✓Finished project selections — Five or six pieces with a one-line brief each
- ✓Styles you create — Explainers, character animation or motion graphics, named as you offer them
- ✓Process outline — Storyboard to delivery in a few steps, with what the client provides
- ✓How clients reach you — The inbox or form you prefer for project briefs
The first month after launch
In the first month, check that the reel loads quickly on a phone and that briefs reach you with enough detail. Add a new finished piece when a project wraps and permission is in hand. Update your page ahead of product launch and year-start planning periods so buyers see current work.
Mistakes to avoid at launch
- ✓Autoplaying a large video file — pages load slowly and visitors leave before seeing it
- ✓Showing work with no context — buyers cannot tell what you actually did
- ✓Offering no clear quote path — interest goes nowhere
