Websites for actors and performers.
Web design for actors and performers
I build clean, fast, media-forward websites for actors, presenters, musicians and performers across the UK, the kind that make casting directors and agents take you seriously. A full working demo before you pay a penny, then £149 a month, three month minimum, with an optional £149 a month to have it looked after.
Built around how actors actually get seen
When an agent, a casting director or a collaborator wants to know more about you, the first thing they do is Google your name. Your website is your shop window, and often it's making the first impression before you're ever in the room.
So it has to earn that moment. It needs to load instantly, put your showreel, headshots and credits front and centre, and work perfectly on a phone, because that's where most people will open it. Get that right and the site quietly does a job for you around the clock.
What an actor's website needs to do
I'm not easily impressed but Elev8 managed it!
The good news is that a performer's site doesn't need to be complicated. It needs to do a handful of things really well: a prominent showreel up top, a clean gallery of professional headshots and production stills, your credits and CV (or a link to your Spotlight profile), a short bio in your own voice, and a simple contact for agents and enquiries.
That's it. Fast, uncluttered, and it should feel like you rather than a template someone else is also using. Everything on the page should earn its place, and nothing should get between a casting director and your reel.
I've already built one for a working actor
I built the website for Phil Salt, a professional actor, and delivered two demo sites within two days. He chose the clean, classic version that suited his needs, and we shaped it from there. Have a look at the work to see the standard I build to. Whatever you do on stage or screen, the approach is the same: made to fit you rather than dropped in from a shelf.

Built for businesses like yours.
Phil is the actor. The other two are one-person businesses where the person is the brand, which is the same problem to solve.
What you get
The five things every build gets, and the five things people expect to be charged extra for and are not.
- Art-directed around you, not a swapped-out template
- Mobile-first, tested at a true 390px phone width where most people will actually look you up
- A showreel and gallery that load fast, so nobody waits on your best moment
- Technical SEO built in, so your name ranks and your site is what gets found
- The files are 100% yours to keep after the three month minimum, never a rented template
Not an extra
- Hosting
- Security and certificates
- Unlimited changes while you are on the plan
- Technical SEO and speed work
- Out of hours cover if it goes down
All of it inside the £149 a month, three month minimum, £447 in total.
Three ways to get a website.
I have left everyone else's prices out, because I do not know what they would quote you. What is in the table is what is structurally true of each route, whoever you buy it from.
| Doing it yourself | A page builder subscription | This | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who designs it | You, around the day job | You, from a template library | Me, around your business |
| What you pay before you see it | Your evenings | The subscription, from day one | Nothing |
| What you actually see first | A blank editor | A demo of somebody else's shop | A full working site on a real link |
| Who fixes it when it breaks | You | A help centre | Me, same day |
| If you stop paying | It is still yours | The site lives inside the platform | The files are yours to keep |
| The cost | Time | Monthly, forever | £149 a month, three month minimum, £447 in total |

Hospitality web designActor website questions, answered.
Do you build websites for actors?
Yes. I build clean, media-forward websites for actors, presenters, musicians and performers across the UK. The site puts your showreel, headshots and credits front and centre, loads fast, and works perfectly on a phone, which is where most agents and casting directors will first look you up.
Can you feature my showreel and Spotlight credits?
Absolutely. A prominent showreel is usually the first thing on the page, followed by a clean gallery of headshots and production stills. I can present your credits and CV directly, or link out to your Spotlight profile, whichever suits how you want to be seen.
How much does an actor website cost?
There's no big lump sum. I build a working demo of your site first, for free, so you only pay once you've seen it and love it. Then it is £149 a month with a three month minimum, £447 in total, and the website is yours, finished and on your own domain. After that it's your choice: £149 a month for me to host it and look after everything (hosting, security, unlimited changes, SEO and speed), or host it yourself. Three month minimum, then it is entirely your call.
Is there a minimum term?
Yes. If you'd rather have it all handled from day one, it's simply £149 a month straight up and we get going: the build, hosting, unlimited changes, SEO and support are all included. You still see your free demo first, and you can cancel any time after the first three months.
Will my name come up when I'm Googled?
That's the aim. Every site includes technical SEO so your own name ranks and your official site is what an agent or casting director finds first. I'll always be honest that ranking builds over weeks, it isn't an overnight switch.
Want to see your actor site, free?
Tell me a bit about your work and I'll build you a real, working demo before you pay anything. Then you decide.
