- 1). Select a web host and a domain name. Several web hosts provide free services but will bombard your visitors with pop-up advertisements. You should choose a domain name that closely reflects your movie: either the title or the tagline. Consider securing rights for similarly titled domain names so that visitors won't be directed to someone else's site.
- 2). Compile all the information on the movie. Your website should include cast, crew and production information. All names should be correctly spelled, and credit should be properly distributed to members of the crew. For instance, anyone who has contributed as a grip, whether a single day or several months, should be credited.
- 3). Design the free movie website. Include tabs that redirect visitors to information, such as a page of movie reviews or a page of production information. Consider hiring a professional freelance web designer, because designing a website competently takes years of experience.
- 4). Add a media player to the movie website. The media player can feature interviews with the cast, behind-the-scenes featurettes and trailers for the movie. Compress all audio and visual files, so that visitors can quickly watch or listen to the files with minimal time spent streaming.
- 5). Request that your friends and family navigate the website. Importantly, someone who has limited Internet awareness should review the site, so that you're certain visitors won't be confused by the web design. Implement their advice on how the website could be improved.
- 6). Upload the website with file transfer protocol (FTP). Many web hosts include this as part of their basic services, but you can download your own FTP feature. Continue to maintain the website, adding awards the movie wins or new movie reviews.
