Rebecca West, Interior Design Business & Communication Coach

In this episode of Stuff Interior Designers Need to Know we talk about the fundamentals of building in interior design website. Whether your DIYing your first site, or finally investing in a professional website designer develop, this episode will give a roadmap that decomplicates the ecosystem of your site and turns it into a conversion machine! In 17 short minutes we'll cover:

  1. Function First: Prioritize functionality over aesthetics when designing your website, just as you would when designing a room. Ensure clarity in communication to effectively convey your message to potential clients.
  2. Crafting a Compelling Promise: Your homepage should feature a "sigh of relief" promise that stops visitors in their tracks and assures them they've found the designer they're looking for. This promise should go beyond aesthetics and highlight how you'll deliver results that align with your clients' desires and needs.
  3. Guide Visitors Through a Clear Journey: Lead visitors through a logical sequence of pages, starting with the homepage, then the portfolio, services, about page, and finally, the contact page. Each step should reinforce your value proposition and build trust, ultimately leading to conversion.
  4. Avoid Overwhelming with Calls to Action: Resist the temptation to inundate visitors with too many calls to action or prompt them to contact you too quickly. Instead, gradually introduce them to your services and allow them to explore your portfolio before inviting them to inquire about your offerings.
  5. Align Messaging with Brand Identity: Ensure that your website's messaging reflects your brand identity, values, and unique selling points. Consistency in messaging across all platforms, including social media and SEO efforts, reinforces your brand and attracts your ideal clientele.
