01 / Problem Analysis

The Brief: Why Most Interior Websites Fail to Convert

The interior design and luxury architecture sector operates on high-ticket contracts where single commissions exceed ₹25 Lakhs to ₹3+ Crores ($30k – $350k). Yet almost every interior design website suffers from three fatal problems:

  • •Zero Price Transparency: Leads to dozens of wasted hours fielding discovery calls with mismatched budgets.
  • •Generic Photo Dumps: Portfolios that fail to explain the structural concept, joinery specifications, or technical rigor.
  • •Template Performance Ceilings: Slow Squarespace or WordPress setups with poor mobile PageSpeed that leak organic traffic.
02 / Aesthetics & Identity

The Design System: Editorial Typography & Material Palettes

To evoke the refined, tactile atmosphere of high-end architectural monographs (such as El Croquis and Kinfolk), we crafted a bespoke design system:

The palette combines deep mineral charcoals (#0c0b09), tactile bone plasters (#f5f2eb), and patinated architectural brass accents (#b89058).

Interactive Cost Calculator & Budget Pre-Qualification

We built an interactive, multi-tiered interior cost estimation engine. Clients can toggle between BHK floorplans, adjust square footage sliders, and choose their material tier (Essential, Signature, Bespoke) to see instant cost breakdowns.

Architectural Drawing Plates & Before/After Sliders

To elevate portfolio presentation beyond generic galleries, we integrated technical drawing plates (Floor Plans, Reflected Ceiling Lighting Plans, Joinery Sections) with responsive Before/After renovation comparison components.
