Can I embed videos from YouTube or Vimeo instead of uploading directly?
Yes, the video element supports embeds from major platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and others. This approach saves bandwidth while leveraging these platforms' optimized players and hosting infrastructure for smooth playback across devices.
How do I showcase both video and photography work?
Use the image gallery alongside video galleries to present diverse work. The grid layout accommodates both media types cleanly, letting you organize by project or medium depending on how you want clients to explore your portfolio.
Can visitors filter portfolio items by project type or client?
The CMS collections feature allows you to organize portfolio items with custom categories and tags. Visitors can then browse by genre, client type, or project category, helping them quickly find relevant work examples.
Does the contact form integrate with my existing email system?
Contact forms can connect to various email services through Dorik's integrations. Set up notifications to your preferred inbox, CRM, or project management system to capture leads without manual checking.
How do I display awards or certifications prominently?
The award badge element provides designated space for displaying industry recognition. Place these strategically in your about section or near portfolio pieces to reinforce credibility at decision-making moments.
Can I password-protect portfolio pieces for client review?
Yes, Dorik includes password protection features for individual pages. This lets you share work-in-progress projects or confidential client work with specific people without making them publicly visible.
Does the statistics section update automatically or manually?
The counter animation displays numbers you set manually in the editor. Update these regularly to reflect current project counts, client numbers, or experience years, keeping your portfolio accurate and impressive.
How do I optimize video files for fast loading?
For best performance, compress videos before uploading or use video platform embeds. The Global CDN automatically optimizes delivery speed, but starting with appropriately sized files ensures smooth loading regardless of visitor location.
