Video requirements for Showit, Squarespace & Wix

Adding a short video to your homepage, especially above the fold, is one of the most effective ways to capture your visitors’ attention right away. Whether it’s a dreamy highlight reel or an emotive snippet from a real wedding, a well-placed video can instantly set the mood and give couples a feel for your style, energy, and storytelling approach.
