The Problem

Beautiful Rooms, Slow Galleries, and Inquiries That Don't Fit

Website design for interior designers has to show taste and earn trust at once. Most studio sites show the taste, then lose the trust with slow galleries and forms that say nothing about fit.

  1. 01 · Slow galleries

    Full-size photos make your portfolio crawl on phones.

    Every image is sized per screen and lazy-loaded below the fold.

  2. 02 · No story

    Projects show finished rooms with no brief or before photos.

    Each project tells the brief, shows the before photos, then the finished rooms.

  3. 03 · Poor-fit leads

    Inquiries arrive with no budget, scope, or location.

    Your inquiry form asks scope, budget range, location, and timing first.

  4. 04 · Hidden process

    Clients can't see how you work or how you charge.

    Services and fee pages explain your process and your fee model plainly.

A homeowner saves three of your rooms on Pinterest and taps through on a phone. Your gallery crawls, then shows a wall of photos with no story behind them. Your contact form asks for a name and a message, so the inquiry reads: love your work, what do you charge? You spend a call learning they want one bathroom refreshed for less than your minimum. Meanwhile, the couple planning a full renovation never found your process page and hired someone else.

We start with the projects that sell the work you want more of. Each one becomes a room-by-room story with the brief, the before photos, and the finished space. Images load in the right size for every screen, so phones stay fast. Your inquiry form asks about scope, budget range, location, and timing before anyone books a call. Discovery calls go to clients who fit, not to explaining your minimum.

  • Project stories that sell

    Room-by-room stories with the brief, before photos, and finished spaces for every featured project.

  • Galleries that stay fast

    Images sized for each screen and lazy-loaded, so phones open your portfolio quickly.

  • Inquiries that screen fit

    Scope, budget range, location, and timing asked before a discovery call gets booked.

Our Interior Design Website Design Process

From First Look to Booked Discovery Calls in Five Steps

You approve the sitemap, the project stories, a clickable design, and the inquiry questions before we build. You also learn to add a new project on your own before launch.

  1. We review your best projects, your services, how inquiries arrive today, and the clients you want more of. You get a sitemap, the inquiry questions, and a fixed price before design starts.

What's Included

What You Get With an Interior Design Portfolio Website

Every build covers your portfolio, project stories, an inquiry form that screens fit, discovery call booking, and fast images. Larger plans add fee pages, press, a journal, and e-design checkout.

  • Portfolio and project pages

    A grid of your projects, each opening into a page with the brief, before photos, and finished rooms.

  • Inquiry screening form

    Asks scope, rooms, budget range, location, and start date, so you see fit before you reply.

  • Discovery call booking

    Calendly or your own scheduler on the thank-you step, so qualified clients book a call right away.

  • Fast, sharp galleries

    Responsive images, modern file formats, and lazy loading keep full galleries quick on phones.

  • Press and services pages

    Publications, features you've earned, your design process, and how your fees work, in your own words.

  • Tracking and launch

    GA4 goals for inquiries and booked calls, Pinterest-friendly image details, schema, and a tested launch.

DeveloperLook vs DIY Builders vs Freelance Designers

A DIY builder is cheap and easy to edit, and a freelancer can move fast. Both suit some studios. Here's where each falls short once inquiries need screening and galleries need speed.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Designers Trust Us With Their Portfolio

Good interior website design depends on photos and trust. These habits keep your portfolio fast, your credits right, and your calendar full of clients who fit your studio.

  • Photographer credits handled

    We credit every photographer the way your license asks and keep originals in your media library. You avoid awkward emails after a feature runs.

  • Client privacy respected

    Some clients don't want their home online. We use password-protected pages, or leave out addresses and street views, whenever you ask.

  • Fit before flattery

    Your form asks about budget and scope politely, before the call. You spend time on projects you want, not on explaining your minimum.

  • Speed checked on phones

    Visitors from Instagram and Pinterest arrive on phones, so that's where we test your galleries. A studio monitor hides problems your clients see.

  • Honest platform advice

    If Squarespace already does what you need, we'll say so and help you fix it. A custom build pays off when screening, e-design, or speed outgrow it.

  • Your portfolio, your accounts

    Your domain, site, photos, and every inquiry sit in accounts you control. You add new projects yourself without waiting on us.

Good fit

  • Residential designers with a growing portfolio

    You've finished enough homes to be picky, but your site still shows one gallery and a contact form anyone can fill in.

  • Studios fielding too many small inquiries

    Your inbox fills with single-room refresh requests below your minimum, and you spend evenings writing polite no-thank-you replies.

  • Designers adding e-design packages

    You want to sell remote design packages to clients outside your area, with a checkout and an intake questionnaire after purchase.

  • Firms with a fresh press feature

    You just landed a magazine feature, and you need a website for interior designers that shows press, process, and projects at that level.

  • Agencies with design studio clients

    Your agency runs a designer's social and ads, and needs interior design websites that load fast and screen every inquiry.

Not a fit

  • Architecture firm focus

    You mainly sell architecture services, with permits and drawings at the center. Architecture Firm Website Design fits that buyer and process better.

  • Remodeling and build crews

    You run the construction crews and sell kitchens and additions as a contractor. Home Remodeling Website Design Services fits that work.

  • Furniture store only

    You mainly sell furniture and decor online with a cart and shipping. Our ecommerce store builds fit a product catalog better.

  • Budget under $1,200

    Your budget is under $1,200, or you're just starting out. A Squarespace template with your best photos carries you for now, and we'll say so.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on what a studio site needs, platforms, cost, timelines, galleries, and inquiries.

  • Start with 6 to 10 projects that show the work you want more of, not every room you've done. Write each as a short story: the brief, the before photos, the finished rooms. Then add a services page, your process, and an inquiry form that asks about scope and budget before a call.

  • It needs a portfolio, a services and process page, an about page, press, and an inquiry form that screens fit. Show your face on the about page, because clients hire a person. Fast image loading matters as much as the photos, because a slow gallery loses visitors arriving from Instagram and Pinterest.

  • Studio sites start at $1,200 for up to 7 pages, a portfolio of 8 projects, and an inquiry form that screens fit. Sites with 20 projects, fee and press pages, and a journal start at $2,850. E-design checkout with an intake questionnaire starts at $5,600. You get a fixed quote after a free call.

  • Most studio sites launch in 3 to 8 weeks. A portfolio site takes about 3 weeks, a project story site 4 to 6, and an e-design build 6 to 8. Your edited photos and project notes set the pace, so we ask for your best projects in the first week.

  • Most designers build their portfolio on Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Showit, or Webflow. To run projects, many add tools such as Houzz Pro, Studio Designer, or Programa. Pick your site platform by how often you add projects and whether you sell e-design, not by what other studios chose.

  • The best website for interior designers loads photos fast and screens inquiries before a call. Squarespace suits a small studio that wants to edit everything itself. WordPress or Webflow suits a studio with many projects, e-design sales, or custom inquiry logic. Structure and speed matter more than the platform name.

  • A good studio site shows taste, proves trust, and filters fit. Taste comes from edited photography told as project stories. Trust comes from your process, press, reviews, and a real about page. Fit comes from a form that asks about scope, budget range, and timing before anyone books a call.

  • Lead with one strong project image and a sentence on who you design for. Below it, show 3 to 6 featured projects, a short line on your process, any press, and one clear button to start an inquiry. Keep the homepage short, because your project pages do the selling.

  • Yes, WordPress suits studios with many projects or e-design sales. It handles project post types, password-protected client pages, and Stripe checkout well. It needs more care than Squarespace: updates, backups, and image optimization. If you add a new project twice a year, Squarespace may be the simpler choice.

  • Build it yourself if you have a handful of projects and time to edit photos and copy. Hire a designer once inquiries need screening, galleries slow down, or you want to sell e-design. Either way, own the domain, the site, and every inquiry, and expect 30 to 90 days of post-launch fixes from a pro.
