media companyLos Angeles photography and video company. Bookings start with a short brief, one question at a time.
The headache
A media company is judged by its own site before anyone looks at the work. It had to be quiet enough to frame photographs, and a booking enquiry had to reach a person. It was also sitting on a hosted builder.
In the way: A vague enquiry takes three emails to turn into a quote.
What I built: Booking is a four-step brief, one question at a time, so the owners have what they need before they reply.
In the way: A large gallery is the first thing to break when a site moves.
What I built: The whole gallery came across intact when the site moved off its hosted builder.
In the way: Five kinds of work can turn a home page into a menu.
What I built: Portraits, cars, corporate, events and weddings are five short rows, and the site is seven pages, not one long scroll.
A Los Angeles media company shooting portraits, cars, corporate, events and weddings. The brief was restraint: one looping film, a lot of air, and a booking path that asks the right questions before anyone has to write back.

The look, and why
A media company is judged on how it frames other people's work, so the site is built as a frame: every dark surface is #0a0a0a or #1a1a1a with one light band for the statement, and nothing structural is allowed to be saturated. Space Grotesk carries the display at 115px and JetBrains Mono carries the captions and credits, so the small type reads as data rather than as more prose. The single red, #e6000d, is a marker and never decoration.
