Preview, then publish

The details that help visitors choose
Showreels & Demo Reels. One clear website.
An actor website is the one link you control, holding your headshots, reel, credits and contact details where casting can reach them without a login, and Grigora builds it from a sentence about your work. Describe yourself as a theatre and screen actor based in Chicago and the AI drafts the pages, copy and image placement, which you edit visually and fill with your own material.
Showreels & Demo Reels
Showcase your best acting clips prominently. Organize them by genre (drama, comedy, commercial) or role, ensuring easy navigation. Keep videos concise and high-quality, focusing on your strongest performances to immediately grab attention.
Headshots & Production Stills
A gallery of professional headshots, full-body shots, and stills from various productions is crucial. Categorize them clearly, showing your range of looks and characters. Ensure high-resolution images that load quickly.
Acting Resume (CV)
Provide an easily downloadable and viewable PDF of your acting resume. Include theatrical roles, film/TV credits, training, special skills, and awards. Ensure it's up-to-date and formatted professionally for quick review.

Actor website builder FAQs.
Clear answers about creating a actor website, its content and the tools you can use.
How can Grigora help me create an online portfolio or resume website as an actor?
Grigora's drag-and-drop editor allows you to easily build a professional portfolio website to showcase your acting work. You can use the directory maker to create detailed listings for your roles, headshots, or demo reels. With over 50 customizable blocks and responsive design, your site will look great on any device, helping you make a strong impression in the industry.
Can I use Grigora to create a blog to share my acting journey or insights?
Yes, Grigora features a built-in blogging platform perfect for actors. You can use the AI blog writer and outline generator to help you craft compelling stories about your experiences, auditions, or projects. Share your passion and connect with your audience, while also boosting your personal brand and online presence through regular content updates.
How can I optimize my actor website for search engines with Grigora?
Grigora provides robust SEO tools to help casting directors and agents find your website. Utilize the built-in on-page SEO suggestions, keyword research tool, and meta tag customization. You can also generate schema markup for 'actor' profiles and integrate with Google Search Console to monitor your visibility, ensuring your site ranks for relevant searches.
Is it possible to include my resume and contact forms on my Grigora actor website?
Absolutely. Grigora's interactive form builder allows you to create custom lead capture forms for contact inquiries, allowing agents or casting directors to easily reach out. You can also upload your resume as a downloadable file, and easily display your contact information prominently using the drag-and-drop editor.
Does Grigora offer secure hosting and custom domain options for an actor's website?
Yes, Grigora includes free SSL, CDN, and hosting for your website. This ensures your online portfolio is secure, fast, and always accessible. You can also connect your custom domain (e.g., yourname.com) to maintain a professional and branded online identity, which is crucial for building a personal brand as an actor.
Can I track visitors and engagement on my actor website built with Grigora?
Grigora features a built-in privacy-friendly analytics dashboard to monitor traffic and engagement on your website. You can also integrate with Google Analytics for more detailed insights into who is visiting your site and how they are interacting with your content. This helps you understand your audience and optimize your online presence.
Can I organize my film and TV credits by project instead of dumping them into blog posts?
Yes. Build a Credits or Filmography directory instead of using the blog. Each entry can carry typed fields: text for the project name, an option field for role type (lead, supporting, guest), datetime for the release date, a link field pointing to IMDb or a trailer, and a video field to embed the clip itself, so your credits stay structured and sortable rather than scattered across posts.
How do I get my demo reel and self-tapes viewable on my site without linking out to YouTube or Vimeo?
Use the video field type on your directory items or pages to embed your reel directly, and pair it with the multi-image field for a headshot gallery, all served through Grigora's managed hosting and CDN, so viewers stay on your site instead of clicking away to another platform.
Can casting directors contact me at a real business email instead of a personal Gmail address?
Yes. Grigora Mail gives you a Gmail-like inbox on your own domain starting at $5/month, with up to 10 aliases, so you can run something like casting@yourname.com separately from a general contact address, plus scheduled sending and a built-in AI assistant for drafting replies.
Can I sell headshot packages, a self-tape guide, or coaching sessions from my own site?
Yes. Grigora Commerce supports digital downloads with protected delivery for headshot files or PDF guides, pay-what-you-want pricing, and one-time purchases for prints or coaching sessions, all processed through your own connected Stripe or Razorpay account.
Can I notify past casting contacts or fans when I book a new role or a project premieres?
Yes. The Newsletters and Email Builder lets you write, design, and send announcement emails, whether it's a new booking, an upcoming premiere, or an updated reel, directly from the platform, kept separate from your day-to-day Grigora Mail inbox.
What should an actor website include?
Five things: a current headshot gallery, your reel, your credits, a short bio in your own voice, and a way to contact you or your agent. Add your resume as a downloadable file and links to IMDb or Spotlight. Everything else is optional. Keep the home page to the reel and your name.
Can I link my IMDb profile from my actor website?
Yes. Put it in the header or beside your credits, and give each credit entry its own link field so a project can point at its IMDb or festival page. Your site stays the hub with the reel, headshots and contact details, and the external profiles handle what they are good at.
Can I move my actor website off Wix?
Wix has no export, so nothing imports automatically. Grigora imports from WordPress only. In practice you describe the site, let the AI draft it, then paste your bio and credits across in an afternoon. Keep the same page addresses where you can, and set redirects for the ones that change.
How much does an actor website cost?
Starter is $15 a month billed annually, which works out at $144 a year, and Pro is $25 a month. There is a free trial instead of a free tier. Hosting, SSL and the CDN are included. Email on your own domain, useful for casting enquiries, is $5 a month per account.
