Important
Studios don’t win work with an image grid — they win it with proof. Reelio is structured like a studio that sells, not just shows: services with starting prices, a transparent four-step process, custom quote tiers, FAQ, and testimonials sit right alongside the portfolio.
Approach
The layout follows how production studios actually convert: an oversized editorial hero, real stats, featured case studies, detailed service pricing, process, and proof — everything a brand needs to go from “nice work” to “send us a quote.”
Vision and Innovation
The goal was a portfolio with a real editorial point of view. Oversized statement headlines, a live clock and ticker details, quote interludes from the team, and case-study-style project pages give it the feel of a fashion editorial rather than a default portfolio grid.
Identifying Unique Challenges
Studio sites usually fall into two traps: showreel-only portfolios that never explain pricing or process, or corporate service pages that bury the work. Reelio had to balance both — editorial enough to match the craft, commercial enough to close the brief.
Resolving Complex Problems
A multi-collection CMS powers projects, services, categories, team members, and the blog, so the content that changes most — case studies, service pricing, articles, credits — can be updated without ever touching the layout.
User-Centric Design
Every decision starts from the visitor’s mindset: a brand or agency scanning for credibility. Expandable service and process accordions with pricing, outcomes, and timeframes answer commercial questions up front, while case-study project pages with credits, services, and locations carry the creative proof.
