I want to have a background video in the header of the page. What should I consider?
Great idea! A background video can immediately capture visitors' attention and create a visually engaging experience. It adds dynamism and vibrancy to the page, making it more attractive and memorable.
- The video must be smaller than 30 MB in one of the following formats: webm, mp4, mov, or ogg.
- The background video can't have sound; it's essentially a moving picture. If you want something with the ability to turn the sound on, I can do it, but it will be an entirely different thing.
- Considerations for colors and content: There will be text overlaying it, and the text should remain readable. I can apply a color overlay over the video. It's important to strike a balance between text readability and video visibility.
- In most cases, it will not scale nicely on mobile. Usually, a separate video for mobile is created.
- The video in the header will slightly slow down the initial page load and the first page print, although not tremendously. But it will still have an impact.
