Website for videographer at DVinfo.net

I am looking to change my website look tt the xml style.
Especially because I am looking for a better way to display my movies.
At this point I embed from exposure room and vimeo but I don't think it looks professional.
I would like the thumbnails and a screen.
The problem is that I don't want to spend much money and rather do it my self.
The biggest problem is that I don't know flash or xml.
Does anyone knows on a build yourself website or can give tips of how to create my dream website.

Search "Web site designs" or "Web site development tools" and you'll find a lot of people happy with WordPress. There are other options, but for me it's the simplest and, as Steve Jobs once said, "it just works."

This thread should probably be moved to the "Distribution Center".

If you don't want to spend money, then you're going to have to spend time. Lots of it.

Take a look at some of the video players available here: Video Players - ActiveDen. They're cheap and plenty good looking. Pick one that's highly rated and well documented. You'll need to manually edit some XML to get them to work, but the ratio of work/results is the best I've seen.

Send me an email if you'd like and I'll point you in the right direction. I am much better at web development than I am at video production, and right now I'm actually in the later stages of a project that is a Flash/XML based video solution for a event videographer. The challenging part is building the content management backend where they can upload videos with descriptions, thumbnails, etc and also send out email blasts (sending code to Vertical Response via API). Find my email on my site please (I don't want to post it here, it will be visible to spammers).
