Interior design and architecture website design

A design studio’s website has an unusual problem: it is judged as a piece of design work in its own right, and it is also expected to filter out the enquiries that waste the studio’s time. Both come down to the same thing — showing complete projects with the budget, scope and timeline attached, rather than a grid of beautiful images with no context.

See it working

Judge the work before you talk to us.

Full project case studies, a materials point of view and a budget-qualified enquiry.

It is a real site, not screenshots. Open it on your phone, use the navigation, start a booking and stop where you like. Nothing is faked and nothing is behind a form.

What it has to do

What this kind of website has to get right.

These are the things that decide whether the site pays for itself. We would apply them whether or not you hire us, so they are written to be useful on their own.

  1. Case studies, not a gallery

    The brief, the constraint, what was decided and why, and how it turned out. This is what a prospective client reads to work out whether you can handle their project, and it is what makes a design site rank for anything at all.

  2. Budgets and durations shown

    The single most effective filter in this industry. A client who sees that your projects run at a certain level either self-selects in or leaves quietly, and the ones who remain are worth speaking to.

  3. Photography given the space it needs

    Design work must be viewable large and load fast, which are usually in tension. Correct formats, responsive sizes and lazy loading are what let a heavy portfolio stay quick on a phone.

  4. The scope stated plainly

    Full turnkey, design only, consultation, residential or commercial. Enquiries for work you do not take are a tax on the studio, and the website is the cheapest place to prevent them.

  5. An enquiry that captures the project

    Property type, approximate size, stage and budget band. A designer should be able to tell from the enquiry alone whether it is worth a call, and a bare contact form never allows that.

In the build

What a interior portfolio & consultation website includes.

Built for interior designers, architects and turnkey contractors. Typically live in 3–4 weeks.

Included as standard

  • Long-form project case studies with real numbers
  • Materials and craft point of view
  • Published fee structure and engagement models
  • Process and timeline, stage by stage
  • Budget-qualified enquiry form
  • Press, awards and studio story
  • Image-heavy pages that still load fast

Added when it earns its place

  • 3D walkthrough embeds
  • Client project portal
  • Before/after sliders
  • Product sourcing catalogue

How the price is decided

Every project is quoted individually against a written scope, because a five-page site and a fifty-page site are not the same job. You get one fixed price and a delivery date before any payment — no hourly billing, and no line items appearing at the end. If something you have asked for is not worth building yet, we will say so and take it out of the number.

Before you ask

Questions we get from property & interiors clients.

We do not want to publish our budgets. Is a band enough?
A band is enough, and it does the same work. Something like "projects from this level upward" or a range per project type sets expectations without committing you to a number. What does not work is nothing at all, which produces enquiries with no budget behind them.
Our photography is the site. Will it be slow?
It should not be. Large imagery is a solved problem — modern formats, correctly sized variants for each screen, and loading only what is on screen. The demo is image-heavy and still loads quickly on a phone connection, which is the standard we hold to.
Should we show work that is not finished or not photographed yet?
Work in progress can be one of your strongest sections, because it shows the process a client is actually buying. It needs to be presented as such rather than mixed into finished work, where unfinished photography undermines everything around it.
Does this suit an architecture practice as well as an interiors studio?
Yes, with a shift in emphasis. Architecture enquiries turn on planning, feasibility and regulation, so the case studies carry more technical narrative, and credentials and registration matter more than they do for interiors.
