A producer opens your site between two meetings, plays eleven seconds of the reel, clicks one project and sends your name to the agency.
Three weeks later you are sending a cut to that agency for notes, a director's treatment for the next pitch and a folder of graded stills to the client.
The website started the job, but the work that followed ran through three or four other tools.
That is the part most rankings of the best website builders for filmmakers leave out.
They judge the homepage, and a filmmaker's week is mostly what happens after the homepage: review rounds with timecoded notes, treatments and lookbooks, deliveries of finished films, and sometimes a LUT pack sold to other shooters.
Each of those either lives in the same account as the site or becomes another subscription that renews every year.
A website builder for filmmakers is a platform that turns a reel, project pages and contact details into a hosted website without code, and in 2026 the stronger ones also handle the client work around the reel, from frame-accurate review to final delivery, in the same account.
Framekit is the best website builder for filmmakers in 2026 because one account holds an AI-built portfolio, Frame.io-style video review, client galleries for finished films, Slides for treatments and lookbooks, and a LUT store, with 150GB of video storage on Pro at $15 a month billed yearly.
Squarespace is the better pick if you want long video hosted on the site itself, Framer for a motion-led showpiece, Adobe Portfolio if Creative Cloud is already on your card, and Carrd for a one-page reel site at $19 a year.
Full disclosure: Framekit is our product and it ranks first, so treat that as a claim to check. Every competitor figure here was read on the vendor's own page in October 2026, and the text says plainly where Framekit loses: its site pages cap video uploads at 100MB, so a long reel is a Vimeo or YouTube embed, and it has no editing-suite panels or camera-to-cloud.
Updated for October 2026, this guide was rebuilt and re-verified on the 12th: every price was checked at the source, the claim that we built the same filmmaker site on all nine platforms and the page-speed statistic were removed because neither is backed by a documented test, and Framekit's review, galleries, Slides and LUT store were added, since those are what separate it for filmmakers.
A later pass the same day made clear that delivery galleries keep a small Made with Framekit footer line on every plan and priced Format's Pro past its first-year offer.
How This Filmmaker Ranking Was Built
This ranking is built from what each platform publishes about its own plans and video limits, plus three worked filmmakers whose yearly bills you can recalculate, because video caps, review tools and seat prices are what decide a filmmaker's costs over three years.
Read at the source. Prices, video allowances, page limits and seat costs come from each vendor's own pricing page or help centre in October 2026, linked inline where the page answered our request.
Pixpa's pricing page showed its limits but not its prices, so no Pixpa price is quoted.
Calculated. Three filmmakers run through the money section: a freelance editor who clears review rounds weekly, a wedding filmmaker who delivers 25 films a season, and a three-person production company that sends every cut for client review and sells $3,000 of LUTs a year.
Each is priced at the cheapest setup that does the whole job, including the review and delivery tools a general builder needs beside it.
Not claimed. No load times, no playback scores and no hands-on build comparisons appear here, because we cannot document them.
The one video fact that matters most is published by every vendor: how much video each plan will host on the page itself, and the answer is less than most filmmakers assume.
Filmmaker Websites by the Numbers
These six figures shape the choice more than any feature list, because each is a hard limit or a recurring cost that decides whether a builder still fits once the reel, the review rounds and the deliveries are all in motion.
- 100MB is the largest video you can upload to a page on a paid Framekit plan, so a long reel is an embed, while galleries and review take files up to 3GB.
- 5 hours of video is what Squarespace Core hosts on the site itself, from 30 minutes on Basic.
- 1 of 9 builders here includes frame-accurate client review: Framekit, on every plan including Free.
- $156 a year is Frame.io Pro for one member on annual billing, the review tool most general-builder filmmakers add.
- $144 a year is Vimeo Starter with 2TB, the usual host for a reel that a builder cannot hold.
- $19 a year is Carrd Pro Standard, enough for a one-page reel site on your own domain.
The Nine Builders at a Glance
The table below is the ranking compressed into one view, and the column that decides most filmmakers' choice is the review column, because a builder without review means a second subscription for every project that needs client notes.
| Rank | Builder | Video on the site itself | Client review of cuts | Free plan | Entry price with your domain, yearly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Framekit | 15MB uploads on Free, 100MB paid, plus Vimeo and YouTube embeds | Built in, every plan | Yes, permanent | $7 a month (Starter) |
| 2 | Squarespace | 30 minutes on Basic, 5 hours on Core | Not offered | No, 14-day trial | $19 a month (Basic) |
| 3 | Framer | 5MB file uploads on Free; paid limits not on the pricing page | Not offered | Yes | $10 a month (Basic) |
| 4 | Webflow | Embeds; upload caps not checked for this guide | Comment-only site review, not video | Yes, 2 pages | $15 a month (Basic) |
| 5 | Adobe Portfolio | Embeds from video hosts | Not offered | Included with Creative Cloud | $0 extra with a plan |
| 6 | Format | 15 minutes on Pro, 120 on Pro Plus | Not offered | No | $10 a month (Basic) |
| 7 | Wix | Counts against plan storage, 2GB on Light | Not offered | Yes, 500MB | $17 a month (Light) |
| 8 | Carrd | Video uploads on Pro plans | Not offered | Yes, up to 3 sites | $19 a year (Pro Standard) |
| 9 | Pixpa | Not listed on its pricing page | Not offered | Not established | Not published to our read |
In one lineSquarespace hosts the most video on the page and Framekit hosts the least, but Framekit is the only one that also runs client review, delivery, treatments and a store, which is the trade every filmmaker on this list is really making.

How the Ranking Is Weighted, and Where Framekit Falls Short
The rubric is published so you can reweight it: the work around the reel, meaning review, delivery, treatments and selling (30 percent), the website itself (25 percent), three-year cost for a working filmmaker (20 percent), video hosted on the page (15 percent) and design control (10 percent).
| Criterion | Weight | Leader | Framekit's place |
|---|---|---|---|
| Review, delivery, treatments and selling in one account | 30% | Framekit | 1st, the only builder here with review |
| The website: drafting and editing | 25% | Framekit, with Framer close | 1st |
| Three-year cost for a working filmmaker | 20% | Framekit on our three examples; Carrd for one page | 1st on our examples |
| Video hosted on the page itself | 15% | Squarespace, then Format | Near the bottom, 100MB uploads |
| Design and motion control | 10% | Framer, then Webflow | 4th |
Video on the page is where the house pick scores worst.
Squarespace hosts 5 hours on Core and unlimited video on Advanced, Format hosts up to 120 minutes on Pro Plus, and Framekit caps a site upload at 100MB, so the reel itself plays from Vimeo or YouTube.
Design control is the second weak row: Framer's canvas and Webflow's interactions go further than Framekit's editor.
The work around the reel carries 30 percent, which favours Framekit, and the reason is a real cost: review alone is a separate subscription on every other builder, $156 a year for one Frame.io Pro member billed annually.
If on-page video were weighted at 40 percent and the work around the reel at 5, Squarespace would take first place and Framekit would fall to third, behind Format.
1. Framekit: Best Overall Website Builder for Filmmakers
Framekit is an AI website builder that also runs Frame.io-style video review, delivers finished films in client galleries, builds treatments and lookbooks in Slides and sells LUTs from a download store, so a filmmaker's portfolio and the client work around it share one account and one storage pool.
What working in it feels like. Describe the work, or upload a screenshot of a director's site whose structure you like, and the AI drafts the sections, writes the copy and applies one theme of colours and type.
Templates were built with AI and trained by senior designers, and every block stays editable by hand.
Project pages hold stills and an embedded reel; when a new commercial wraps, the section you add is written against the same theme, so the site keeps one look.
Then the same dashboard sends the cut for review and the finished film to the client.

The number that matters$15 a month billed yearly on Pro buys 300GB of storage pooled across the site, galleries and review, of which 150GB can be video, with review files up to 2GB each and comment attachments.
Starter is $7 a month yearly with 50GB, 15GB of it video and 1GB review files; Business is $31 a month yearly with 2TB, 750GB of video and 3GB files. Every review feature is on every plan, Free included.
The detail nobody writesreview and delivery use the same account as the site, so a client who approved a cut on a review link receives the final film in a branded gallery under your name, without either link asking them to sign up for anything.
Videos in galleries are transcoded for smooth playback and never watermarked.
The gotcha that bites on a launch daythe site itself is not a video host. Page uploads stop at 15MB on Free and 100MB on paid plans, so the reel on your homepage is a Vimeo or YouTube embed.
Review has real limits too: no Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut panels, no camera-to-cloud, no side-by-side version compare, notes are not carried forward between versions, and team members on Pro and Business are website admins only, so galleries, review cuts and decks stay with the account holder.
There is also no redirect manager and no RSS feed.
Skip it ifyour workflow runs inside an editing suite with panel integrations, you need forensic watermarking or enterprise SSO for studio work, or you want a long film to play natively on the page. Frame.io and Squarespace answer those better.
Verdict: the best website builder for working filmmakers because it is the only one here that also runs the review round, the delivery and the treatment, and a freelance editor pays $84 a year on Starter for what costs $384 on Squarespace plus Frame.io. For a filmmaker who only needs a homepage reel and never shares a cut, it is a good builder rather than the obvious one.
2. Squarespace: Best for Hosting Long Video on the Site
Squarespace is the best builder here for a filmmaker who wants long films playing natively on the site, because its plans host video directly, from 30 minutes on Basic to 5 hours on Core and unlimited on Advanced, and its finished templates suit a clean director's portfolio.
Its pricing page and Help Center, read on 12 October 2026, put Basic at $19 a month billed yearly or $25 monthly and Core at $29 a month billed yearly, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
The online-store fee is 2 percent on Basic and 0 percent from Core, digital content and memberships carry 7 and 5 percent, and Acuity Scheduling handles bookings as a separate subscription.
The real numberfive hours of hosted video on Core for $348 a year is generous for a portfolio of finished films.
The gotchathere is no client review with timecoded notes and no delivery gallery, so a filmmaker who shares cuts adds a tool such as Frame.io beside the site.
Verdict: the right builder if native video hosting matters more than review and delivery, and an expensive one once Frame.io joins the bill. Framekit vs Squarespace prices that combination for a studio.
3. Framer: Best for a Motion-Led Director's Showpiece
Framer suits a director or motion designer whose site must itself demonstrate craft, because its canvas gives control over scroll effects, transitions and interactions that no AI-first builder matches, and its Agents can generate a starting page from a prompt.
Its pricing page, read on 12 October 2026, lists Basic at $10 a month billed yearly with 1,000 AI credits a month and Pro at $30 with 3,000 credits, redirects and staging, plus $20 a month for each additional editor.
The free plan allows 5MB file uploads, and the pricing page does not list paid upload limits.
The gotchaFramer offers no client galleries, no video review and no built-in store, so the review round and the delivery live elsewhere.
Verdict: the strongest showpiece builder for filmmakers with design skills, and a site that needs Frame.io and a delivery tool beside it. Framekit vs Framer runs the three-year cost of both setups.

4. Webflow: Best for Production Companies With a Web Designer
Webflow fits a production company with a designer on staff who wants a custom site with structured case studies, because its CMS, interactions, staging and 301 redirects are built for a team maintaining content over years.
Its pricing page, read on 12 October 2026, lists Basic at $15 a month billed yearly without a CMS and Premium at $25 with 20,000 CMS items, with workspace seats at $39 a month for a full seat and $15 for a limited one.
Workspaces include comment-only links so clients can review a website, which is not the same as reviewing a cut.
The gotchathe learning curve is steep and the seats add up, and there is no video review or delivery.

Verdict: the right tool for a company that commissions a custom build, and overkill for a solo filmmaker. Framekit vs Webflow for agencies compares the per-site and per-seat bills.
5. Adobe Portfolio: Best Free Site if Premiere Is on Your Card
Adobe Portfolio is included with Creative Cloud plans, including single-app plans, according to Adobe's Portfolio FAQ, so a filmmaker already paying for Premiere Pro has a clean portfolio with a custom domain at no extra cost, and it pulls in Behance projects.
It hosts no review, no delivery and no store, and the site exists only while the subscription does, so moving to DaVinci Resolve and cancelling Creative Cloud takes the website with it. Verdict: the best zero-extra-cost reel site for Creative Cloud subscribers; Framekit vs Adobe Portfolio covers the move when review and delivery join the job.
6. Format: Best Cheap Portfolio With Hosted Video Minutes
Format is a portfolio builder for photographers and filmmakers, and its pricing page in October 2026 listed Basic at $10 a month billed annually with no hosted video, Pro at $12 in year one ($17 after) with 15 minutes of hosted video and 1,500 images, and Pro Plus at $15 in year one with 120 minutes, unlimited images and 1TB of image storage; the commission-free store opens on Pro with 15 products, and Basic has none.
Two hours of hosted video for $180 a year is good value for a reel library, though that is Format's first-year offer and the regular rate is $26 a month, or $312 a year. Verdict: a sensible budget pick if your films are short and the site is mostly stills plus a reel, with no client review; Framekit vs Format compares the two.
7. Wix: Best if the Site Also Takes Bookings
Wix suits a filmmaker whose site also books workshops or rentals, because Wix Bookings and an App Market of more than 800 apps cover scheduling and payments, and its plans page in October 2026 listed Light at $17 a month billed yearly with 2GB, Core at $29 with 50GB and eCommerce, and Business at $39 with 100GB.
Video counts against that storage, so Light's 2GB holds very little footage, and there is no review or delivery. Verdict: strong for bookings and apps, thin for video work; Framekit vs Wix has the full comparison.
8. Carrd: Best One-Page Reel Site
Many filmmaker sites are functionally one page, a reel, three credits, a bio and an email address, and Carrd does that for $19 a year on Pro Standard, which its Pro page in October 2026 listed with 10 sites, custom domains, forms, embeds and video uploads, after a free plan for up to three sites.
There is no second page with its own address, no review and no delivery. Verdict: the cheapest honest answer for a one-page reel site, and the one to outgrow the day you need project pages; Framekit vs Carrd maps the upgrade.
9. Pixpa: Budget All-in-One for Stills-Heavy Filmmakers
Pixpa bundles a portfolio site, client galleries and a store, and its pricing page in October 2026 listed 3GB, 5GB, 25GB and 100GB of original-file storage across its Basic, Creator, Professional and Advanced tiers with 0 percent commission on sales, but no prices loaded for our automated read and no video limits were listed. Verdict: a budget bundle for a filmmaker who mostly sells stills, and an unknown quantity for video until you check its plan page.
The Work Around the Reel: Review, Delivery, Treatments and LUTs
A filmmaker on Framekit runs four jobs beyond the website from the same account, and this section shows each one with the limits that apply, because these are the tools that would otherwise be four separate subscriptions on every other builder in this list.
Video review
Upload a cut, share a link, and the client comments at the exact frame, with notes appearing as timecode chips. Reviewers can draw on the frame, reply in threads and react, and none of them needs an account.
Upload v2 and v3 into a version stack and the earlier cuts keep their notes; mark each round needs review, in progress, approved or needs changes. Review pages carry your logo, banner, fonts and accent colours.
Videos can run up to 2 hours, files go up to 500MB on Free, 1GB on Starter, 2GB on Pro and 3GB on Business, and attachments on comments open on Pro.

What it does not do: panels for Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut, camera-to-cloud, review of stills or PDFs, side-by-side version compare, forensic watermarking, per-viewer analytics or daily digest emails.
A post house that lives inside an editing suite should keep Frame.io; the best video review tools for filmmakers ranks the field.
Delivery in client galleries
Finished films and graded stills go into one gallery with one link, shared by email from Framekit. Videos are transcoded for smooth playback and never watermarked; photos can be.
Clients download everything or only favourites, an optional PIN gates downloads, and paid plans put galleries on your domain with your fonts, while a small Made with Framekit line stays in the gallery footer on every plan.

Treatments, lookbooks and pitch decks in Slides
Framekit Slides builds director's treatments, lookbooks and pitch decks from templates made for creative work, with shot lists, shot cards, storyboard panels, moodboards, look cards and a coverage grid as ready-made elements.
Describe the deck and the AI asks up to three quick questions, picks a style, asks you to paste the real facts such as the logline, credits and budget lines, proposes a titled outline for your approval, then builds the slides with speaker notes, marking anything you did not supply as a placeholder.
Decks are unlimited on every plan, each holds up to 40 slides, and every deck exports to PDF; PowerPoint export, picture-based, opens on Pro. Deck links have no password and no per-viewer analytics.

A store for LUTs and presets
Sell LUT packs, presets and guides as instant downloads, with unlimited products on every plan and a buy link that works without a site.
Payment runs through Stripe Connect into your own Stripe account, so you are the merchant of record and handle VAT yourself; checkout is hosted on framekit.ai with your name and logo.
The fee is 5 percent on Free and Starter, 3 percent on Pro and 0 percent on Business, and discount codes open on Pro.

What a Filmmaker's Setup Costs in Year One and by Year Three
Framekit is the cheaper setup for all three filmmakers below, by $300 a year for a freelance editor and $444 a year for a three-person production company, because review and delivery are separate subscriptions on every other builder and those subscriptions are where the money goes.
Assumptions: every price is the yearly-billing US rate read in October 2026, held flat for three years, with card processing left out on both sides. Squarespace includes a domain for the first year on annual plans; add a domain registration to Framekit's rows from year one.
| Filmmaker | Framekit setup | Framekit year one | Framekit by year three | General-builder setup | That setup, year one | By year three |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance editor, weekly review rounds, cuts cleared after approval | Starter, 15GB of video ($84) | $84 | $252 | Squarespace Basic ($228) plus Frame.io Pro, one member ($156) | $384 | $1,152 |
| Wedding filmmaker, 25 films a season reviewed and delivered | Pro, 150GB of video ($180) | $180 | $540 | Squarespace Basic ($228) plus Frame.io Pro ($156) plus Vimeo Starter for delivery ($144) | $528 | $1,584 |
| Production company of 3, review on every job, $3,000 of LUT sales | Business, 750GB of video ($372), 0% fee | $372 | $1,116 | Squarespace Core ($348), 0% store fee, plus Frame.io Pro for 3 ($468) | $816 | $2,448 |
The outside prices, each from the vendor's own page in October 2026: Frame.io Pro is $15 per member a month on monthly billing and about $13 on annual, which is $156 a year for one person and $468 for three; Vimeo Starter is $12 a month billed yearly, $144 a year, with 2TB.
A Framer version of the production company, Pro at $360 plus two extra editors at $480 plus Frame.io for three and a store such as Gumroad at 10 percent plus $0.50 a sale, runs well past $1,600 a year.
Honest caveats.
Frame.io Pro includes 2TB of storage plus 2TB per extra member, editing-suite integrations, passphrase-protected shares and link expiry, none of which Framekit review offers, so these rows compare jobs done rather than identical products.
Vimeo Starter's 2TB is far more video per dollar than any Framekit plan. And the freelance editor on Starter has to clear old cuts, because 15GB of video fills after a handful of 1GB review files.
Run it yourselflist the review, delivery and video-hosting subscriptions you pay for beside your site, add last year's LUT or preset sales times your Framekit plan's fee, and compare that with the Framekit plan whose video share fits your busiest month.
Framekit Plan Limits for Video Work
These are the Framekit limits a filmmaker actually meets, taken from the published plan table on framekit.ai in October 2026, laid out by plan so you can match your busiest month to a tier before you upload the first cut.
| Limit | Free | Starter | Pro | Business |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price, billed yearly | $0 | $7 a month | $15 a month | $31 a month |
| Pooled storage | 10GB | 50GB | 300GB | 2TB |
| Of which video | 3GB | 15GB | 150GB | 750GB |
| Largest review or gallery video file | 500MB | 1GB | 2GB | 3GB |
| Longest review video | 2 hours | 2 hours | 2 hours | 2 hours |
| Video upload on site pages | 15MB | 100MB | 100MB | 100MB |
| Files attached to review comments | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Team members (website admins only) | Account holder | Account holder | 3 | Unlimited |
| Store fee on LUT and preset sales | 5% | 5% | 3% | 0% |
| PowerPoint export of decks | No | No | Yes, picture-based | Yes, picture-based |
In one linethe video share, not the total, is the number to plan around, because a wedding filmmaker delivering 25 films at about 2GB each needs 50GB of video and lands on Pro, while a freelance editor who clears approved cuts fits inside Starter's 15GB.
Two store crossovers are worth knowing if LUT sales grow: on monthly billing, Pro's 3 percent beats Starter's 5 percent above about $500 a month in sales, and Business's 0 percent beats Pro above about $667 a month, or $533 on yearly billing.
Where Your Reel Should Live on Each Builder
The reel question trips more filmmakers than any other, because most builders either cap uploads or count video against small storage, so the practical answer on nearly every platform here is to host the reel on Vimeo or YouTube and embed it, keeping the site light.
On Framekit the embed block handles Vimeo and YouTube, and the 100MB page-upload cap suits short loops and hero clips rather than full films.
On Squarespace, a native upload works up to the plan's hours, which is the cleanest single-vendor answer for a library of finished films. On Format, Pro Plus hosts 120 minutes.
On Wix, video eats the plan's storage, so Light's 2GB is not a video plan.
For client-facing video, the logic flips: a cut sent for notes belongs on a review link with timecoded comments, and a finished film belongs in a delivery gallery the client can download from, which Framekit includes and the others do not. The best showreel hosting platforms covers the reel side in depth.

What Happens When Something Breaks Mid-Project
These are the situations that catch filmmakers in the first months on a new platform, answered from what each vendor publishes, so the edges are visible before a client deadline finds them.
A cut is bigger than the review cap. Framekit review files are capped at 500MB on Free up to 3GB on Business, with a 2-hour maximum length, so a long 4K master needs a review export at a sensible bitrate. Frame.io's Pro plan handles larger files.
The client has no account. Framekit review and gallery links open without a Framekit account, and frame notes and downloads work from the link.
A second editor needs to upload cuts. On Framekit, team members are website admins only and galleries, reviews and decks belong to the account owner, who uploads every cut, so a team that shares uploading is better served by Frame.io's per-member model.
A LUT buyer asks for a refund. Framekit charges its store fee on the post-discount amount and keeps it on refunds, with Stripe's fee on top; on Business the fee is 0 percent.
You rename a project page. Framekit has no redirect manager, so old addresses will not forward; Squarespace, Wix, Framer Pro and Webflow's paid plans can redirect.
You stop paying. Framekit's free plan is permanent with 10GB pooled and 3GB of video, so archive finished films before downgrading; links on your own domain stop working, while the framekit.ai address carries on; Squarespace has no free plan to fall back to.
How to Choose a Filmmaker Website Builder: A Decision Tree
Work down these questions in order and stop at the first yes, because for filmmakers the question that rules builders out fastest is where client video work happens, and the homepage design only matters once that is settled.
1. Do you send cuts to clients for notes or deliver finished films to them? If yes, Framekit includes review and delivery on every plan, so it is very likely the cheaper and simpler choice; skip to question 5. If no, go to question 2.
2. Do you want long films playing natively on the site? If yes, Squarespace hosts up to 5 hours on Core, or Format 120 minutes on Pro Plus. If no, go to question 3.
3. Is the site itself a motion-design showpiece? If yes, choose Framer, or Webflow if a team will maintain structured case studies. If no, go to question 4.
4. Is the whole site one page? If yes, Carrd at $19 a year. If no, go to question 5.
5. Do you already pay for Creative Cloud and need nothing beyond a portfolio? If yes, Adobe Portfolio costs nothing extra. If no, go to question 6.
6. Does your post workflow depend on editing-suite panels or camera-to-cloud? If yes, keep Frame.io for review alongside any site; Framekit offers neither. If no, Framekit covers the site, review, delivery, treatments and a LUT store in one account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best website builder for filmmakers in 2026?
Framekit is the best website builder for filmmakers in 2026 because one account holds an AI-built portfolio, Frame.io-style video review, client galleries for finished films, Slides for treatments and a LUT store, from $7 a month billed yearly.
Squarespace is better for hosting long films natively on the site, Framer for a motion-led showpiece, and Carrd for a one-page reel site.
Framekit vs Frame.io for client review: which should a filmmaker use?
Framekit is the better choice for a solo filmmaker or small team that wants review, delivery and the website in one account, since every review feature is on every plan and reviewers need no account.
Frame.io is better for post houses that need Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut panels, camera-to-cloud, passphrase-protected shares or per-member uploading, at $15 per member a month on monthly billing.
Can I upload my showreel directly to a Framekit site?
You can upload site videos up to 15MB on Free and 100MB on paid plans, which suits short hero loops. A full showreel is best embedded from Vimeo or YouTube with Framekit's embed block.
Review links and galleries take much larger files, up to 3GB per video on Business with a 2-hour maximum.
Which website builder hosts the most video for filmmakers?
Squarespace hosts the most video on the site itself among general builders here, with 30 minutes on Basic, 5 hours on Core, 50 hours on Plus and unlimited on Advanced. Format hosts 120 minutes on Pro Plus.
Framekit is the most limited on page uploads, at 100MB per file on paid plans, but includes 150GB of video storage on Pro for review and delivery.
Do filmmakers still need Vimeo with a website builder?
Usually yes for the public reel, because most builders cap or meter video uploads, and Vimeo Starter at $144 a year with 2TB is cheap per gigabyte. YouTube embeds cost nothing.
What a filmmaker no longer needs on Framekit is a separate review or delivery tool, since both are included on every plan.
How much does a filmmaker website cost per year?
A filmmaker website costs $0 to about $350 a year for the site alone: Carrd is $19, Framekit Starter $84, Framer Basic $120, Squarespace Basic $228 and Core $348.
Add review and delivery to a general builder and a working filmmaker's bill reaches $384 to $816 a year on our worked examples, against $84 to $372 on Framekit.
Can I write a director's treatment in Framekit?
Yes. Framekit Slides has treatment, lookbook and pitch deck templates with storyboard panels, shot lists, moodboards and look cards as elements.
The AI can build a whole deck from a brief after asking a few questions and proposing an outline you approve, using the logline, credits and budget lines you paste in. Decks are unlimited on every plan and export to PDF.
Can I sell LUTs from a filmmaker website?
Yes. Framekit's store sells LUT packs and presets as instant downloads on every plan, with a fee of 5% on Free and Starter, 3% on Pro and 0% on Business, and buy links that work without a site.
Payment lands in your own Stripe account, which makes you the merchant of record, so collecting VAT and sales tax stays with you.
Does Framekit work with Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve?
No. Framekit review has no Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut panel and no camera-to-cloud, so you export a cut and upload it to a review link.
Teams that want notes inside the editing timeline should use Frame.io, which lists Premiere and Final Cut Pro integrations, and can still use Framekit for the site and delivery.
Is Adobe Portfolio good enough for a filmmaker?
Adobe Portfolio is good enough for a clean reel and project site if you already pay for Creative Cloud, since it is included at no extra cost with a custom domain.
It has no client review, no delivery galleries and no store, and the site goes offline if you cancel Creative Cloud, which matters for filmmakers moving to DaVinci Resolve.
What happens to my review links if I downgrade Framekit?
The account falls back to the permanent free plan with 10GB of pooled storage, of which 3GB can be video, and review files capped at 500MB. Every review feature stays available, but larger cuts and older versions may not fit, so archive finished projects before downgrading.
Is Squarespace or Framekit better for a production company?
Squarespace is better if the company wants long films hosted natively on the site and bookings through Acuity Scheduling.
Framekit is better if the company sends cuts for client review and delivers finished films, because both are included; a three-person team pays $372 a year on Framekit Business against $816 for Squarespace Core plus Frame.io Pro for three.
Can I password-protect a treatment or pitch deck in Framekit?
No. Framekit Slides deck links have no password and no per-viewer analytics; you get a share link, full-screen presenting and PDF export on every plan. For a confidential treatment, send the PDF directly or use a tool with gated links.
Client galleries are different: an optional PIN can gate downloads on every plan.
How long can a video be on a Framekit review link?
A Framekit review video can run up to 2 hours on every plan, Free included, with a per-file cap of 500MB on Free, 1GB on Starter, 2GB on Pro and 3GB on Business.
A feature-length cut therefore needs a review export at a modest bitrate, or a tool with larger file limits such as Frame.io.
The Best Website Builders for Filmmakers in 2026: Final Verdict
Framekit is the best website builder for filmmakers in 2026 because it is the only builder here that also runs the review round, the delivery, the treatment and the LUT store, so a freelance editor pays $84 a year on Starter where Squarespace plus Frame.io costs $384, and a production company pays $372 where the general-builder setup costs $816.
Where Framekit loses is video on the page and post-production depth. It caps site uploads at 100MB, so the reel is an embed, and it has no editing-suite panels, no camera-to-cloud and no side-by-side version compare.
A filmmaker who wants long films hosted natively is a better fit for Squarespace, a motion-led showpiece is a better fit for Framer, and a post house living inside Premiere is a better fit for Frame.io.
The test that settles it is free: build your homepage on Framekit's free plan, send your next cut through a review link, and see whether the client's notes come back cleaner than they do today.
