A Site That Is Ours

We have been online for a few days now. A website of our own, under our own name. That may sound like a given. For us it was a decision we thought about for a while.

Most of the space we have online is only rented. A profile here, a channel there, always in the shape someone else defined, and always next to the next post in the feed. That has its uses, and we are still out there. But we also wanted a place that truly belongs to us. An address where we make the rules.

We could have bought a template. A few clicks, drop in the logo, done. It would have been faster, no question. The thing is, a site off the shelf also looks off the shelf, and in the end like a thousand others.

So we built it ourselves. We are a film production company and not programmers, which is exactly why it was a risk. We had to understand a lot of things for the first time. In return we now know every corner of this site, we can change it whenever we want and we depend on no one. It is the same attitude we bring to our films. Better to do it yourself and understand it than to hand the work away.

You decide how you see us. In the top right corner there is a small switch, a sun and a moon. One click on it, and the whole site turns from light to dark. Whichever version you prefer, your browser remembers it for your next visit.

A small detail, granted. But one that shows how we think. The site adapts to you, not the other way around.

A site is more than a list of information. It has a tone, the way a film does. Ours is calm, it takes its time, and it moves as you scroll through it. Black on a warm background, little clutter, quick to load. No ad network reading along in the background. That matters to us.

A website is never finished, and that is a good thing. It grows with us. New projects come in, the blog fills up, some parts we will rebuild later. What you see today is the beginning. Have a look around, and tell us what you think. We are happy to receive mail at info@keineproduktion.de.
