The same project sits on Instagram, on an aggregator surrounded by three competitors, and nowhere you own. Every enquiry it earns arrives with a commission attached — on a lead your own work generated.
A ₹15 lakh interiors decision starts with twenty minutes of looking at photographs on a phone. These are the filters that decide who makes the shortlist.
Instagram buries work chronologically; aggregators surround it with rivals. Your own gallery sells only you.
An image-heavy site that loads slowly loses the client before the first photograph appears. Speed is a portfolio feature.
Budget band, brief, timeline, before-and-after. Clients shortlist the studio whose projects feel like their own situation.
"Get a quote for something like this" on each page. Most portfolio sites make visitors hunt for contact details and lose them.
A stranger will live with your decisions for a decade. Named, linkable reviews close that trust gap faster than any copy.
"Interior designer <area>" is a buying search. If aggregators own it, every local lead arrives with their cut taken.
Move the sliders. This is roughly what you pay each year for enquiries generated by photographs of your own work.
Photographs get attention; these six things turn attention into a quote request. Hover any point to see where it sits on the page.
Not a gallery of thumbnails — a page per project, each one able to rank on its own and each one ending in a quote request.
"Interior designer in <your area>" is a buying search. Right now the platforms own it, which is why their leads come to you with a cut already taken.
Your project pages outrank the platforms that were selling your own work back to you.
Where your enquiries come from today, what your city's buying search shows, and what platform dependence is costing you.
We shape your existing shots into project pages — brief, budget band, before-and-after, specification, quote request.
Area pages and Google Business Profile so the searches platforms currently sell you come to you directly.
Track direct versus platform enquiries monthly. Reduce platform spend only as the direct channel proves itself.
Keep both — they're working. The website does a different job: it catches people searching your city with intent to hire, and it's where referrals land to check you out before calling. Right now those searchers are being sold back to you as paid leads.
Handled properly, no. Modern image formats, lazy loading and correct sizing mean a 40-project gallery can load faster than most one-page sites. Speed is the difference between a portfolio that sells and one that gets closed.
Not immediately. Build the direct channel first, watch it produce, then reduce your dependence as it grows. Cutting the platform before you have a replacement just removes enquiries — the goal is to stop paying commission on leads you could have owned.
