inbetweentales.com

A 220,000-subscriber channel deserved more than a link in a bio. So we built it a house with seven rooms.

The brief

Give the channel a home it owns.

YouTube is rented land. The InBetween had 212 episodes, years of viewer stories and a community that kept asking where to send things. It needed a place that felt like the show, made the back catalog browsable in ways YouTube never will, and collected stories and emails directly.

Not a template with a logo on it. A place that feels like the show.

02
The idea

One dial, from Stories to Case Files.

The channel runs two shows: firsthand witness stories and documentary investigations. We turned that into the site's spine. Every episode sits somewhere on one continuous dial, from cold blue night to warm lamplight, and every room is built around a way of exploring it: by theme, by place, by connection, by the people behind it.

The rooms

Seven rooms, seven ways in.

The RoomThe homepage is a 3D scene. A slider moves a crack across the screen: witness stories on the cold blue side, investigations under the lamplight on the other. The wordmark splits where the crack runs.

Under the hood

Fast, owned, and built to last.

212 episode pages

Generated from a single data file: full descriptions, sources and credits as real links, season navigation, and structured data search engines can read.

Story submissions

Viewers send strange but true stories through a protected form. Each one gets a case number, lands in a database, and triggers a confirmation email.

Newsletter

Opt-in straight to Carol Ann's list, with a confirmation step so every subscriber actually asked to be there.

Hosting

Static files on Cloudflare's global network. No page builder, no plugin updates, no monthly platform fee. The client owns every file.

Accessible motion

Every 3D room works by keyboard and touch, and calms down for visitors who ask their device for reduced motion.

Guardrails

House rules baked into the build: sponsor contact routes to the agency, no private addresses, no membership pricing, consistent voice.

Your show deserves a house like this.
