What should an actor's website include?
Casting directors look for a few key things: professional headshots, a demo reel, an acting resume with your credits, and easy contact or agent details. Extra clips, photos, and press can round it out. Keep it clean and fast, since a casting director may spend under a minute on your page. 10Web's actor website templates set up these sections for you, so you just add your own material.
Do actors really need a website if they have Backstage or Casting Networks?
Those platforms help you get seen, but they look the same for every actor and you don't control them. Your own site is space you own, where your headshot, reel, and brand come across the way you want, and where you can share one clean link on resumes and in emails. Most actors use both: the casting platforms to be found, and a personal site to make a stronger impression once someone clicks through.
How do I display my headshots?
Use a gallery to show your headshots and looks at full quality. Casting directors want to see your range, so include a main headshot plus a few different looks, character, commercial, and so on. Sharp, well-lit images matter here, and the templates display them cleanly on any screen. You can swap in new shots anytime as your looks change.
How do I build an actor website with these templates?
Pick an actor template, change it in 10Web's AI-powered visual editor by describing what you want or editing right on the page, and go live in minutes. No coding or design skills needed. Adding a new reel, headshot, or credit later is just as quick, so your site keeps up with your career.
Will casting directors find my site when they search my name?
Yes, and owning that result matters. 10Web's actor templates are built on clean code with fast load times and an SEO-ready structure, so your site can rank from the day it goes live. Putting your name in your page title and headings helps it show up when a casting director or agent looks you up, so your own site is what they find first.
