Portfolio websites with a page for every finished room

What a project page contains

A good project page answers what a prospective client is quietly asking: was this someone like me, with a problem like mine? We structure every page the same way so you can keep adding them without a designer's help.

• A plain headline that says what and where, such as "Narrow galley kitchen refresh in a 1960s bungalow"
• The brief, in two or three sentences: what the client wanted and what they were stuck on
• Constraints, such as a rental, a tight timeline, pets, a listing date or an existing sofa that had to stay
• What you did, in your own words, including the decisions you'd defend
• Photos, ordered as a walk through the space, each with a caption
• Scope and range, described rather than priced to the dollar
• One next step: call, text or email, with what to mention

For stagers, the page adds the listing context: vacant or occupied, how many rooms were staged, and how long it took from walkthrough to photos. Keep any sale results out unless you have the agent's permission and the facts are verifiable.

Who it's for

This service is for decorators and interior designers whose clients are homeowners, and for stagers who want agents to see their range before calling. It also suits studios moving away from a template site where the portfolio is an afterthought.

If you already have project pages and the problem is that nobody finds them, the image SEO service or local search is probably the better first step.

What's included

The site is built around the portfolio rather than around a home-page slider.

1. Portfolio audit. We review your existing photos and sort projects into "lead with this", "worth a page" and "archive".
2. Site structure. Service pages for the work you want more of, project pages grouped by room type and by kind of client, and an about page that sounds like you.
3. Writing support. We interview you for 20 minutes per project and draft the page. You edit it so it stays accurate and in your voice.
4. Image handling. Compressed, correctly sized files with descriptive names and alt text, so pages load quickly on a phone.
5. Contact paths. Call, text and email on every page, with no forms for prospects to abandon.
6. Tracking. We measure which project pages people read before they contact you.

Timeline

A typical portfolio build runs in three stages over several weeks, depending on how quickly projects and approvals come back.

After launch, the plan adds new project pages as you finish work. A steady rhythm of one or two a month beats a burst of twenty followed by silence.

How results are measured

We report on what a studio owner actually cares about, monthly and in plain language:

• calls, texts and emails received, and which page the person was on
• which project pages are read most, and how far down people scroll
• search visibility for the room types and towns you chose
• enquiries that turned into paid consultations, from your own notes

That last number matters most. If a project page brings in enquiries that never book, the page is attracting the wrong client and we rewrite it.

Mistakes to avoid

These are the ones we see most often on design sites:

• One gallery for everything. Search engines and people both need context; a gallery gives neither.
• Only finished, perfect angles. A single "before" photo makes the "after" mean something.
• Vague copy. "Timeless spaces" tells nobody anything. "We kept the 1950s fir floors and built the palette around them" does.
• Hiding contact details. Put the phone number and email on every page, not only on a contact page.
• Waiting for professional photos. Good phone photos of a strong project beat no project page at all; replace them later.

Our guide to project pages that win consultations goes deeper into captions and ordering. When you're ready, check plans and pricing or get in touch.
