Interiors studio concept built for consultation requests
Concept project created to demonstrate BuildTrust Design's approach to interior design businesses.
About project
Website Design · Brand Identity
Studio Linea is an interiors practice concept where clients shortlist on project type relevance for residential, commercial, and hospitality work, plus process transparency and fee expectations before requesting a consultation. Interior clients hire on finished work quality and whether the engagement process feels manageable across timeline, fees, and collaboration model. Portfolio-only sites without scope, outcome, and process detail attract browsing traffic but not qualified consultation requests from clients ready to commit.
Challenges & approach
Problem
Clients shortlist studios on project relevance and process clarity, not photography alone. Portfolio grids without scope and outcome context produce browsing traffic without consultation requests. Missing process and fee framing leads to unqualified enquiries from clients whose project type or budget does not match the practice.
Solution
Projects grouped by type with scope, location, and outcome on each page. Process and services set timeline and collaboration expectations before the first call. One consultation path after viewing relevant work.
What we focused on
Portfolio grouped by project type
Residential, commercial, and hospitality work each get dedicated sections with relevant case proof. Clients self-select by project type before viewing individual schemes.
Scope and outcome on case pages
Each project explains brief, location, scope, and result, as well as photography. Consultation-ready clients arrive understanding what Studio Linea delivers beyond aesthetic style.
Process and fee expectations
Engagement timeline, fees, and collaboration model explained before consultation request. Process clarity reduces unqualified enquiries from mismatched project types and budgets.
One consultation enquiry path
Single consultation route after relevant project viewing with fields for project type, location, and timeline. Studio qualifies inbound before scheduling first calls.
CMS-backed portfolio framework
Project templates and content rules defined for CMS build. New schemes publish with consistent scope-outcome structure without bespoke page design per project.
Process
This concept defined portfolio structure, process pages, and consultation flow before a CMS-backed studio build.
Discovery
We mapped how interior clients shortlist studios: project relevance, process clarity, and consultation access after viewing work that matches their project type.
Customer and competitor research
Interiors practices that convert consultations lead with outcome-led cases and process transparency. Studio Linea was benchmarked against that client evaluation pattern.
Information architecture and messaging
Portfolio organised by residential, commercial, and hospitality with process pages setting engagement expectations. Copy uses client language around timeline, scope, and collaboration.
UX design and conversion journey
Wireframes placed process summary before consultation CTA. Forms capture project type, location, and budget band for studio qualification before scheduling.
Search/local visibility foundations
Project and service pages target interior design queries by project type and location. Structure supports how clients search when building a studio shortlist.
Launch tracking optimisation
Concept defines consultation tracking by project type for full build. Measurement plan covers qualified enquiry rate versus portfolio browse alone post-launch.
