Video Services vs Alternatives
Custom Hero Video vs Stock Footage
Stock footage is generic and often used by other companies. Custom video features your actual people, products, and location. We create assets that are authentically yours.
- Unique identity
- Authentic trust
- Brand specific
- No duplicates
Video Header vs Image Header
Static images are safe but passive. Video headers are active and engaging. We recommend video for brands that need to explain a feeling or process quickly.
- Higher engagement
- Explains process
- Modern feel
- Visual storytelling
Agency vs Videographer
A videographer shoots footage. An agency plans how that footage integrates with your website's code and user experience. We ensure the video works technically, not just visually.

Hero Video FAQs
Will a video slow down my website?
Not if done correctly. We aggressively compress file sizes, remove audio tracks (which saves data), and use modern streaming formats (WebM) to ensure your site loads instantly while the video plays.
How long should a hero video be?
We recommend keeping homepage loops between 10-20 seconds. This is enough time to set a mood or show a process without creating a massive file size.
Do I need sound?
For homepage backgrounds, no. Most browsers auto-mute autoplay videos by default. We design hero videos to be impactful visually without relying on audio.
Can you use stock footage?
Yes. If a custom shoot isn't feasible, we can curate and edit high-quality stock footage, color-grading it to match your brand so it feels cohesive and premium.
What happens on mobile?
We create a separate "vertical" cut of your video specifically for mobile phones, or we configure the site to display a high-quality static image on mobile if data usage is a concern.
