Markus “MJ” Langrock shoots music videos, fashion and brand content. His website shows 73 films, 43 shoots and who stands behind the camera – fast on every phone, in German and English, with no WordPress behind it.
The previous site ran on WordPress. Markus wanted a site that puts his work first: the films and photos he has shot since 2021. He didn’t want to look after it himself – when something should change, he writes to me.
What he needed was a site that shows his work and asks for nothing else: every film and shoot in one place, sortable by category and format, in German and English, with a form through which enquiries actually arrive.
It was rebuilt as a static website. It simply stands until he wants to show something new.
Three things a site for moving pictures does differently from any other.
Films and shoots are 116 single entries. The overviews, the filters by category and format and the home page fill themselves when the site is built – a new film is an entry, not a rebuild.

On a phone a portrait cut of its own plays, 0.9 MB instead of the wide film’s 2.6 MB, and every picture comes in three widths. The site loads fast where his clients look.

No film loads anything from another server before somebody presses play. The contact form answers in German or English – in the language of the page.

On a phone the films page loads 7.7 MB of pictures instead of the 18.6 MB its pictures would weigh at full size – every picture arrives at the width the device needs.
Four questions come up in every project. This is how they were answered for Yung Fisherman.
Markus doesn’t change his site himself. He writes to me what should be different, and I do it. Anyone who’d rather change texts and pictures themselves can do that too: with a free program on their own computer.
To run it, the hosting and the domain. The site is made of finished files the server simply delivers, and needs nothing between two changes.
The old addresses lead on. Each of the 157 addresses of the old WordPress site leads permanently to the matching new page, with the code 301 that search engines read as a move. On top come a sitemap and, for every page, a title, a description and structured data.
Because Markus doesn’t edit his site himself. WordPress is strong when you look after your content yourself, and often. If you’d rather write what should change, you don’t need that. What the new site can do is shown in the report: load time, accessibility, search engines and that nothing is loaded from other servers.
How the pages hang together, and two of them on every device. A click enlarges the picture, with the others below it.
The whole site at a glance – sections of every page on a phone and on a screen, put together as collages.
Every Static Studio website gets a report measured on the finished site itself – not filled in from a checklist. For yungfisherman.com it checks all 34 pages:
