Curley Street The video-first WordPress site we built
Curley Street is an award-winning documentary and video production house in Bangalore. We built them a content-led WordPress site that puts reels and case films first, with custom post types so a non-technical team publishes work, press, and awards on their own. The hard part was serving high-resolution showreels without wrecking load times on slower Indian connections.

Curley Street The video-first WordPress site we built - what we built and why.
Curley Street is an award-winning documentary and video production house in Bangalore. We built them a content-led WordPress site that puts reels and case films first, with custom post types so a non-technical team publishes work, press, and awards on their own. The hard part was serving high-resolution showreels without wrecking load times on slower Indian connections.
What we had to solve.
A production house is judged by how its work plays on screen, so the site had to carry heavy video without feeling heavy.
- 01
Serving high-resolution showreels without wrecking page load on slower Indian connections
- 02
Designing a layout where motion and stills coexist without competing for attention
- 03
Giving a non-technical team full control over films, projects, and press
- 04
Keeping the brand restrained and editorial rather than flashy
- 05
Structuring the catalogue so older documentary work stays discoverable

Showreel hero
We built a muted autoplay reel that anchors the homepage, with a fallback for constrained bandwidth so the page still loads cleanly.
-
{ 02 }
Project archive
We built a filterable grid of films and documentaries with custom taxonomies for genre and client, so older work stays discoverable.

Editorial CMS
We set up custom post types that let the team publish films, stills, and press notes without touching layout or code.

Press and awards
We built a dedicated area to surface festival selections and recognition as they accumulate.
Outcomes that matter.
Curley Street got an editorial platform that matches the quality of their films, and publishing new work became a self-serve task for the team.
