How to Make a Website for Film Makers

As a filmmaker, having a good and professional looking website is essential. Without a website, clients are unlikely to hire you. It doesn't matter how good your work is, how beautifully curated your instagram page looks, or how excellent your references are - Without a professional website, you are a step behind. This video aims to help that!

But it's not just filmmakers. This video is for people of all sorts. It covers how to make a website for photographers, how to make a website for production companies, and even how to make a website for graphic designers. Any type of creative business could follow these guidelines.

How to make a professional website with the Wix Editor. Wix is a website building tool that aims to help the average person build a professional looking website - I have very little coding experience, and only a fringe interest in graphic design (But certainly no qualifications!). I found it very easy to go from template to finalized website.

I’ve been watching Mumbo since I was like 8 years old that’s 8 years ago. I’ve watched every episode of hermitcraft and I’ve loved seeing mumbo get so good at making short films. I’ve loved growing up while seeing mumbo growing up . Love you man!

Normal people: makes a 30 second scene in their video when they get sponsored
Mumbo: makes a entire video for the sponsor

My man doesn't care that the UK is on Lockdown, he brought the outside inside with all those plants.

It’s 2020, everyone should have a website... ok mumbo... I USE Davinci RESOLVE TOO!!!

[bkdmvyi]

Mumbo's film channel deserves more subs. Honestly, i like this channel more than his main channel. Also, show us your dog!

I am just adding a like and a view here don't mind me

[dylanshields]

0:10 I’m not any of them but I just enjoy watching your videos

I just watched a 10 minute ad for wix... but I didnt get bored at all. Only mumbo can make an ad interesting to watch

When you talk about putting webpages on a diet, do try and make sure the pictures get similar treatment. If you're only making use of 900px width on pictures, at most the resolution of them needs to be 900px wide. Cuts down on megabytes of data flowing for your page to load. I know when using a webpage builder, there's likely going to be scripts and things that will make the page take longer to load anyway, but you'd be surprised how many people still don't have good internet, or think "good" internet is 10Mbps down.


Edit: more along the lines of the thumbs, like what thumbnails used to be for, but you know what I mean probably

Hermitcraft7 broke Mumbo. Even his house looks like a jungle.

[tristanhutcheson]

I went on to your site and in my opinion I would definitely recommend your service to others for a good quality video. Nice work

[RAYNINGMAKER]

So, I consciously know that this is an eleven minute ad, but it's really quite satisfying to see that come together.

[calebnissen]

As someone who has used Wix before, I highly recommend it. I find usually sponsors are desperate for people to use their product; and I've stereotypes most sponsors as "bad", but I HIGHLY recommend Wix. Really good, easy to use, and nice and clean layouts :)

Haaaai Mumby ♥️ This video is super helpful bc I haven’t a clue how to use this website. Thank you to Wix for sponsorship, amazing video as always. Also I’m rocking the Sahara Bumbo hoodie! I love you and your videos!

[charlottemoocow]

Very impressed Oli, I like the feel of the website, and the informal explanations. Captures your cheeky personality perfectly

[theoddoneout]

I watched the ad for Wix before this video but with Mumbo’s voice I watched the whole video

[ExperimentalDud]

I have a small channel myself and I have been doing more film projects and need a website!! This was perfect timing!! Thank you Oli!!

[peterheijstek]

The recording room looks absolutely amazing!

[gabrielwang]

I like this guy’s personality. I think he would be great as a video game personality.
