Case Tommy Vaskimo.
From Wix to a pixel-perfect custom build.
For Tommy Vaskimo, it's all about the image. His videos tell his story and let his work speak for itself.
Tommy had a website on Wix, including domain and hosting. The downside of Wix: mediocre performance on mobile and limits on the design he wanted and on showing videos. Exactly the things that matter most to Tommy.
The challenge
A platform that held him back.
Tommy has a clear vision for his website. No bells and whistles, nothing fancy. Just to the point, with video in the lead role. But with Wix he kept hitting limits. The design couldn't be what he wanted, videos didn't play the way they should, and on mobile the website was too slow.
Time to get to work. Time for a lightning-fast custom website, accurate to the pixel and exactly as he wanted.
The approach
Less is more.
Tommy's work needs room to breathe. So everything on the website serves the image. Three choices made the difference.
Video in the lead role
Self-hosted videos that play automatically, and Vimeo for more videos with sound.
A clear menu
All relevant content well structured and just a few clicks away. Less is more.
Pixel-perfect design
Exactly as Tommy had in mind. Without the limits of a Wix template.
The new website on desktop and mobile
The result
Pictures speak louder than words.
For this website, video is an absolute must. Moving images add to the experience and look of a website, provided they are built in properly.
Autoplay
Self-hosted videos load fast and play right away, muted and without waiting.
With sound via Vimeo
The work is loaded externally for the full video with sound.
To the point
A calm design and a clear menu. The videos tell the story.

Lightning fast, even with video.
A website full of video that is still fast. That takes good HTML. In Google PageSpeed, tommyvaskimo.com scores demonstrably above average.
