SDFX Studios is a high end visual effects and creative production shop for film, TV, and advertising.

The goal was simple: show the craft at the level of the work on screen without giving up speed, clarity, or easy editing for the studio team.

Project Highlights
  • Webflow production build for speed, security, and in house editing control, delivered through our web design practice.
  • Sitemap and IA centered on Work (reels and case studies), Services (3D, compositing, animation, on set supervision), and Studio (culture, careers, contact) following UI/UX best practices.
  • Cinematic design system with dark UI, clear type hierarchy, and grid rules tuned for stills and video.
  • Motion language using light micro interactions and scroll reveals that support the imagery rather than distract from it.
  • Work CMS with collections for Projects, Credits, and Services, plus filters for format (film, series, commercial) and role.
  • Video performance via optimized embeds, poster frames, lazy loading, and simple asset guidelines for editors.
  • Conversion paths with short brief and booking flows and a persistent contact entry point for producers.
  • On page SEO and analytics at launch: clean titles and headings, internal links, basic schema, GA4, and Search Console. Learn more about our SEO.
  • Accessibility and QA: WCAG informed colour and type, keyboard focus states, and cross browser/device testing.
  • Training and stabilization: live CMS workshop, quick how to videos, and a short post launch support window.
  • Challenges

    VFX portfolios are media heavy and can be hard to navigate. SDFX needed a site that feels cinematic yet loads quickly, tells the story behind complex shots, and makes it easy for producers to find proof points on mobile. The team also needed a simple way to publish new work without developer help.

    • Webflow build — modern, secure, and fast; responsive, mobile‑first execution.

    • Sitemap & IA strategy — services and industries reorganized around task‑based user journeys.

    • Modular CMS & component library — reusable templates for Services, Industries, and Insights (no developer lift for routine publishing).

    • Conversion paths — embedded RFQ/Contact routes on high‑intent pages with persistent, unobtrusive CTAs.

    • On‑page SEO — clean metadata, headings, internal linking spine, and structured data; GA4/Search Console wired.

    • Accessibility & performance — WCAG‑informed color/type, keyboard navigation, lazy‑loading, and asset minimization.

    • Content support — technical copy editing to maintain precision while improving scannability and search intent match.

    • CMS operations workshop — step‑by‑step training videos + live session; governance checklist for a sustainable cadence.

    Launch & stabilization — full QA, analytics verification, and 30‑day post‑launch support.

    Our Approach

    We mapped producer and director tasks, then rebuilt the structure around those journeys. A lean component system improved scanning, wayfinding, and project storytelling. We set up search basics, tuned media handling for speed, and standardized a Webflow CMS for Projects, Credits, and Services. Light brand polish kept the look aligned with reel aesthetics, and we aligned copy with new business goals through focused marketing consultation.

    Final Outcome & Why Brand Vision

    The result is a cinematic, credible portfolio that loads fast, tells deeper project stories, and is easy for the team to maintain. We combined editor friendly Webflow build, motion and layout standards, video hygiene, and clear producer paths so the site stays sharp as new work ships.
