A real person on our team designs the roster pages, collects reels and credits from your clients, builds a site your staff can update and plans posts around signings, bookings and industry news.
People check your site before they check your roster
- 01
A site that looks older than the agency
If the site is slow, cluttered or dated, it suggests the agency is the same. A clean, fast site is a basic part of how you get taken seriously.
- 02
Roster pages that hide the details
A casting director with a deadline wants a photo, a reel, credits and a contact in one spot. Pages missing any of these cost you replies.
- 03
Silence between announcements
An agency that posts only when something big happens looks inactive for the rest of the year. A steady stream of signings, bookings and team moments fills that gap.

Before You Sign
What to ask when you hire for an entertainment agency website
Questions an agent, manager or office lead can put to any agency, with what a good answer sounds like. Where licensing is involved this is general information, not legal advice.
Roster approval
Who approves each roster page, and what happens when a client leaves?
A roster page speaks for the client, and an outdated one can cause real friction. A good answer: sign-off from the client or their rep before a page goes live, a same-day takedown process, and a redirect or archive rule so old links do not show an error.
Image rights
Whose rights are in the headshots, reels and clips on the site?
A headshot belongs to the photographer unless licensed, and a reel may contain footage and music owned by others. A good answer: the agency asks where each asset came from, uses only material the client or agency has the right to show, and embeds clips from the owner's channel where possible.
Licensing
Will the site copy match what the company is licensed to do?
In California, procuring employment for artists generally requires a talent agency license from the Labor Commissioner, and managers are limited in what they may do. A good answer: the agency asks how you describe your services, avoids wording that implies activity outside your license and sends the final copy to your counsel.
Submissions
How do submissions from new talent come in, and what happens to the material?
Many agencies do not take unsolicited material, and those that do need a clear policy. A good answer: a form or portal with a stated policy, a plan for storing and deleting submissions, and special care for anyone under 18, since children's privacy rules and parental consent can apply.
Social
What is the social plan between announcements, and what is off limits?
Client announcements need approval, and studios often set embargo dates. A good answer: an approval workflow with a named person, an embargo calendar, no hint of unannounced signings or projects, and routine posts about team news, panels and client wins that were already public.
Search
How will the site be set up for agency and talent searches?
People search for an agency by name, by category and by city, and for talent by name. A good answer: roster page titles that use the client name and category, credits as text and not images, news pages that link to the roster, and bios written by the client or agency, not copied from other sites.
Questions people ask
How long does an agency website take?
Websites usually take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to delivery. The roster is usually the largest piece, so having photos, reels and bios ready speeds things up.
What do you need from us?
Your client list, headshots, reels, credits, logos and any copy you already use. We also need to know who approves roster changes and whose permission is required for each client page.
Can we update the roster ourselves?
Yes. We build the site so your team can add and edit talent pages without a developer. We walk your staff through it at handoff.
Do you work with talent agencies and management companies alike?
Yes. Structure varies by company, so we ask how you work with clients before planning pages. A booking agency and a management company often need different pages.
Who owns the site when it is finished?
You do. At delivery you receive access to the site, the files and any accounts we set up in your name. Licensed fonts or stock images are listed with their terms.
Does a talent agency need a license in California?
Generally yes. California's Talent Agencies Act requires a license from the Labor Commissioner for anyone who procures, offers or promises to procure employment or engagements for artists, with limited exceptions. Managers are also covered by the Act. Check the Labor Commissioner's information or an entertainment attorney for your situation. General information, not legal advice.
What should a talent agency website include?
A roster organized by category, with a page per client that has photos, reel, credits and a representation contact. Add a submission policy, news, a clear contact for each department, and an about page that states what the company does. Keep the roster current, since stale pages cost trust with casting and brands.
Can an agency copy a client's bio or credits from IMDb?
Credits are facts, but IMDb's wording and photos can belong to IMDb or other parties. It is safer to have the client or their team supply the bio, credits and images, with permission to use them. That also keeps the page accurate, and the client approves it before it goes live.
What affects the cost of an entertainment agency website?
The main factors are roster size, how many page types you need, whether new photography or video is included, how much content has to be moved from an old site, and how much copy needs writing. We quote after seeing your roster and how your team plans to update it.
