Your site goes live with thirty high-resolution project photos, and the homepage takes eleven seconds to load on mobile. Interior design website development fixes that — building custom sites around large-format imagery, project-based navigation, and consultation flows that reflect the same design sensibility you bring to physical spaces. We structure your portfolio so clients filter by room type, style tier, or budget range instead of scrolling blind through a gallery. The build includes CMS access so you add projects without touching code, schema markup so Google surfaces you in local searches, and image optimization that keeps your site fast despite the visual weight. What it won't do: make a generic Squarespace template look custom, or hide the fact that your portfolio needs stronger photography.

Veelgestelde vragen
How much does an interior design website cost?
Custom interior design websites typically run between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on portfolio size, CMS complexity, and integrations. Template platforms look cheaper upfront but cost more over time through plugins, performance problems, and customization limits. Our fixed-fee pricing covers design, development, CMS setup, and 30 days of post-launch support.
Can I update my portfolio without a developer?
Yes. Every site we build uses a headless CMS — Sanity — that lets you add projects, upload images, reorder galleries, and publish blog posts through a visual editor. We train your team during launch week and provide documentation. Most clients can add a new project in under 15 minutes.
How do you handle large portfolio images without slowing down the site?
We run every image through an automated pipeline that converts uploads to modern formats like WebP and AVIF, generates responsive sizes for every device, and lazy-loads off-screen content. Combined with a CDN edge network, your full-bleed photography loads in under two seconds on mobile. No manual optimization required.
Will my interior design website rank on Google?
SEO is built into the architecture from day one: clean URL structures, schema markup for local business and portfolio items, optimized meta tags, strong Core Web Vitals scores, and service area pages targeting location-based searches. Most clients see measurable organic traffic growth within 90 days of launch.
How long does it take to build an interior design website?
A typical project runs 6–7 weeks from kickoff to launch, covering brand audit, design, development, content migration, and CMS training. Timelines can shift based on how many portfolio projects need migrating and how quickly you turn around feedback during design reviews.
Why not use Squarespace or Wix for my design website?
Template platforms are fine for getting online quickly, but they limit your visual identity, load slowly with large images, offer weak SEO controls, and lock you into their ecosystem. For interior designers — where portfolio presentation directly drives revenue — a custom-built site pays for itself through better lead quality and higher conversion rates.
