To be honest, I'm not sure how to replicate my elementor pages into Gutenberg. Yesterday I had a look into Gutenberg blocks and it seems a bit complicated. Elementor worked straight out of box for me. But its true, sometimes I do experience some lag and therefore I would port the whole project. But right now I'm not sure if I am able to. (I know you simply want me to just to kick the BG colors aso.. But I am still stick to it as long I feel to move on..) And speaking about content. I am still working on it. And yes, its true, it's still too much hustle about me. I am still researching how to maintain a better overall customer experience.

Just to let you know, I am still active and still figuring out, whats the best solution for me. I ported the website, and optimized the windows sizes, the first pictures were published and I am working on speeding up the whole thing. Its getting better.. new domain as expected is: media-colonia.de thanks for taking your time

okay... you have any tag line recommendations? The URL is expected to be kind of a tag line. The purpose is to promote the name, and to show of this random guy (me.) and the video is a visual stimulus. And really, I like the font. why not. retro archaic style.

Hey, statics already installed. I really try to keep it simple. As you see I sized all the big headers, put everything in line. To me it seems much cleaner than in the beginning. All pictures are missing for now but everything else is finished. I plan to port the whole page next week to a paid hoster hopefully with a speed increase.. and we see further. maybe its time to recut the demo... ^^ 😛

Most websites I found are way to complicated or were a total disaster. If I am somewhere in between, a good start for a very first website ^^... okay, jokes aside. I understand you, and thats why I will showcase the website to everybody. lets see what other people say. Yeah, and that thing about elementor.. I knew before its a heavy application. But I had zero knowledge before, and needed some confidance. Elementor is pretty comfy..but I concider to rebuild it 1:1 in gutenberg. The pagespeed is bad. I know. I think one main reason, is something totally missbehaving with the fonts, like the font "orbit" is loaded over 100 times. dont know why.. and most pictures I use, are just place holders, and not optimized. I think after cleaning up, the page will run better. hopefully.

I will concider to move the video in the first place. After I introduced these boxes I feel more flexible to move them around. I will think about ditching the colors. I will ask around and watch there reactions. Maybe I do som A/B testing. Right now I really enjoy not having a white background like everybody else.. And yeah, this thing about the poor mobile view is something I cant change right now. I try to, but for now it is what it is..

Thanks for your comment! I would say thats in line with my thoughts.. I try to keep the website clean without to much information on the front. Information about my gear is hidden from the front page. I will try further to make the whole experience more appealing by reducing the amount of Information. Maybe ditch the last accordion box and make the text size smaller. As fisicx wrote I will think about the colors too. Right now I still enjoy the idea, of not having the same white background like everybody else. Maybe you have any suggestions or recommendations, like similar websites with same approach? thanks.

Look, I really appreciate the time you put in this. But its not that helpful telling me to break everything down. I mean I got your point. you kinda trying to prevent one more useless website on this planet, and engaging me to spend my time better. But hey, Its not that I do all this for fun. I have my plan and my vision. maybe its not what you expect, but first of all I have to enjoy what I'm doing, not everybody else. Sure, these guys pay the bills, but the whole Idea of this "brand" is to kinda represent myself as a person, not just a random guy doing videos. I have really LOW interest in tiktok, that just not my audiance, but sure, I will focus on social media. Of cource, I am not living under a stone.. Please stop telling me 5 times to work on the reel. I will do that. I know that. and you do not have to encourage me to go out, Its raining for days now, and if there are possibilities, I have my focus on that too. But as I said before. My goal is to make all of this step by step, I just cant do everything at once. And I am here for a proper help for this website, but most of time I spend to explain why I continue to work on this website right now. If you dont like the whole concept. OK. got it. I do see the value in your words. And I read your paper on your website. Lots of good knowledge. Some of that I can adapt, and for others I just dont have the deeper understanding, nor the time. So, as you can see, I spend the day to make proper Updates. Maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel ;-)

Ok. let me sort out some things on the website and than come back again. (you can see the progress live.. in case you want.... ;-) ) Right now I try to implement a bit more structure and care to adress the customer more. This will take some time. But for now I can say. My goal is to reach possibilities to shoot image video, live events, and events of all sorts.

I hope you dont get the feeling that I didnt spend any thoughts about this all. I do! A lot! As I wrote, i know my audience, and right now I focus adressing them. My go to plan is: - Website with a first insight. - Active Instagram account with multiple frequent shorts (Need a good Logo for that first.) - Than emailing/ calling through all the small companies and introduce myself/website - connect to other film makers around me (just agree on a meetup with a guy I connected on reddit! this week) - grow by time and hopefully get more attention with more content arising. - earn money, invest in better equipment, make better content > better shorts on instagram > success

As I wrote before, Its true! I do not adress the customer enough and there is way to less information about what I deliver. I will work on that specifically! Thanks for your comments on the Reel too. Other people didn't liked the music too. I will strongly concider to look for other music, and as others sad to shorten the video. And yes, I will thing about the pacing too.

Yeah the S5 was sadly released without PDAF. S5M2 fixed that and its nearly 99% close to Sony. But still the color profile of S5 is flawless!! I would consider it as a b-cam, if there won't be any 30min limits.

Exactly what I am doing right now. I am asking for help. But in case you mean to pay off someone. Thats just not possible for now. I really appreciate all your recommendations. But you do suggest more and more. Maybe a google business profile in the future. Maybe Tiktok. Do I have a marketing plan? No. I am not a marketing guy. Yet. But I am willing to learn all these steps. But allow me to go through these in a reasonable amount of time. I am not here for a full business plan. I am here to finalize this website.

That is for sure an inspiring story, and Its not like I have no content created before. But I cant do everything all at once. I just want the whole thing grow one bye one. First the website including my demoreel I can recommend to others. Than a Instagram Account where I can upload little shorts of, yes, nearby open air concerts etc.. But I just really want to finish this website. I cant start one, two projects, dont finalize them and then start the next one. thats for sure a way to go crazy. ;-)
