Building Your Film Website
Your website is the one piece of the internet you actually own — a home base for your film that no algorithm controls. This course walks you through making one: planning it, choosing a builder, designing it, filling it with the right pages, and turning visitors into an audience you keep.
What you'll learn
✓Why your website is the home base you own and what it should do
✓How to plan, build, and design a film site without coding
✓The pages, media, and structure every film website needs
✓How to get your site found and turn visitors into an audience you keep
Pairs with this tool
Filmmaker Toolbox
The Filmmaker Toolbox keeps your trailer, stills, poster, and press kit ready to drop straight onto your website — so building your film's home base means assembling assets you already have, not starting from scratch.
