Website photo and video content

Original photo and video content for your business website

Real portraits, work photos and short films help visitors recognize your team and understand your work. We plan the content around the pages it will sit on.

What website photo and video content includes

This is the media layer of a website project. It can be added to a new site, a redesign or an existing site that feels generic. Everything is planned against specific pages, so you know where each image or clip will go before anyone picks up a camera.

This page covers the content. Layout and copy are covered on small business web design, and search structure on local SEO services. Production itself draws on our existing photography and video services, linked below.

  • Team headshots

    Consistent portraits for team and about pages. See corporate headshots.

  • Work photos

    People at work, finished projects, tools and spaces, for service pages and proof sections.

  • Brand films

    A short film in which owners or staff explain what they do. See corporate video production.

  • Hero assets

    A strong still or a short looped clip for the top of the home page, with a poster image and readable text over it.

  • Branding photography

    Workspace, process and lifestyle images that show how you operate. See branding photography.

  • Short clips

    Brief clips for service pages and social channels, prepared in the shapes you need.

Where each asset goes

  • Home page

    A hero image or clip and one or two images that show the real work.

  • About page

    A brand story, a founder or owner portrait and, if you want, a short introduction film.

  • Team page

    Matching headshots with names and roles.

  • Service pages

    One or two work photos per service, placed beside the explanation.

  • Proof and contact

    Customer words you have permission to use, photos of finished work and a friendly image near the contact form.

Planning, shot lists and permissions

A short shot list, written with you, ties each image to a page. We also talk through who will appear, what needs permission and what should stay out of frame. Customer faces, license plates, addresses and screens are the usual things to review.

Our guide to a website content plan for local businesses lays out the shot list page by page, and you can use it whether or not we produce the content.

Remote delivery and location

Legend is based in West Hartford, Connecticut. Website design, copy and search work are done remotely, but photography and filming happen where you are. For businesses outside Connecticut we do not claim a crew or office in your state, and we do not offer unlimited travel or free production.

There are three ways to handle original media, and we agree the approach in the project scope.

  • Use what you already have

    You supply existing photos and video. We review them, choose what works and tell you what is missing.

  • Travel for a shoot

    We plan a shoot day or days in your area, with travel and schedule agreed in advance.

  • Locally arranged production

    Production is arranged locally and planned and reviewed with us, subject to the agreed scope.

Speed, legibility and fallbacks

  • Images are resized and compressed for the screen they appear on
  • Video does not play with sound automatically, and large files load only when needed
  • Every video has a poster image, and text over images stays readable
  • Images have descriptive text alternatives, and video can have captions
  • If media fails to load, the page still reads and the contact route still works

How it fits in a website project

The strongest order is usually: plan the sitemap, write the shot list, shoot, then build with real media in place. When media comes later, the design leaves room for it. Scope, travel and schedule are set out in your proposal before work begins, along with how files are delivered and who owns them.

Common questions

Can you shoot photos and video for a business outside Connecticut?

Possibly. We can travel for a shoot, review assets you already have, or work with production arranged locally, depending on the scope we agree.

Do I have to use original photos?

No. If you have good real photos, we can use them. Original photos of your people and work usually help more than generic images.

Can you make a video for the top of my home page?

Yes. We plan a short clip with a poster image and readable text, so the page works even if the clip is slow to load.

Is travel included?

Travel is part of the scope and is agreed before work begins.

Do you do headshots for a whole team?

Yes. See our corporate headshots page for how team sessions run.

Who owns the finished photos and video?

Ownership and usage arrangements are set out in your proposal before work begins.
