FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about working together. If you don't find what you need here, you're very welcome to send an enquiry — I'll point you in the right direction.
Who I Work With
Who do you design websites for?
I design calm, intentional websites for interior designers and interior-led studios — including kitchen and bathroom designers, home stagers, and garden designers. If your work is visual, thoughtful, and led by space and atmosphere, you'll feel at home here.
Do you work with new businesses or only established studios?
Both. What matters most is that you're ready to show your work clearly. As long as you have a clear aesthetic and a small body of work to showcase, we can build from there — whether you're launching your first website or rebuilding an existing one.
Do you work with clients outside the UK?
Yes. I work with studios internationally and everything is handled 100% online and asynchronous via email and shared documents. It's calm, clear, and works beautifully across time zones.
Services & Process
What's the difference between custom design and templates?
Studio Website is a one-to-one service — your website is designed specifically for your studio, your work, and your goals.
Templates are a self-led option from my shop: pre-designed layouts you can install and customise yourself. Custom work is my primary service; templates are a simple alternative if you're not quite ready for a bespoke project.
How long does a website project take?
Most custom projects take 6–10 weeks from enquiry to launch, depending on scope and how ready your content and imagery are. The process is intentionally paced — calm, clear, and never rushed. Once I review your enquiry, I'll confirm a timeline that feels realistic.
What do you need from me before we start?
A clear understanding of your services, access to your content, and professional photography where possible. I guide you through each step with clear briefings and simple checklists.
Can I see examples of your work?
Yes — selected projects are available in the portfolio section of this website, including case studies with project details and client feedback.
How do I know if I'm ready for a custom website?
If your studio has clarity around its services and is ready to invest in a long-term digital foundation, a custom website is usually the right next step. You don't need everything figured out — just a clear aesthetic and a body of work to showcase.
What if I don't have professional photography yet?
We can begin with a content-first structure and refine imagery later. A calm layout should never rely on photography alone — your website will still work beautifully while you build your portfolio.
What do I need to provide?
To keep your project smooth and focused, you'll need:
- Your core website text (don't worry — I'll guide you with a simple structure)
- Professional photography of your work (or strong portfolio imagery)
- Your logo and brand basics (if you have them)
If your branding feels a little unclear, I can support a light visual direction (fonts, colours, simple styling) so your website feels cohesive — without turning it into a full branding project.
Do you write website copy?
I don't offer copywriting as a separate service, but you won't be left staring at a blank page. You'll receive a simple copy structure and prompts for each page, and I'll polish what you provide for clarity, flow, and consistency so everything reads calm and intentional.
If you'd rather work with a specialist copywriter, I can recommend trusted collaborators.
Do you offer branding or logo design?
I don't design logos or full brand identities. If your existing branding needs a little tidying, I can support light brand direction (fonts, colours, and visual consistency) so your website feels calm and consistent. If you need a full brand created from scratch, I'm happy to recommend brand designers I trust.
Investment & Booking
How much does a website cost?
Here's a clear starting point:
- Studio Website — from £12,000 (typical £15,000–£22,000 depending on scope)
- Launch Week — £15,000
- Strategy Session — £950 (written direction + next steps)
Custom projects are best suited to studios who value calm structure, professional presentation, and a simple enquiry journey.
How do I book a project?
Start with the enquiry form. I review each enquiry carefully — fit matters, and I want the process to feel calm and straightforward for both of us. If it's aligned, you'll receive:
- a short questionnaire (so I can understand your studio and priorities)
- a proposal with scope, timeline, and investment
- a booking link to secure your place once you're ready
How far in advance should I enquire?
A good rule of thumb is 4–8 weeks ahead, especially if you have a particular launch date in mind. If you're working towards a press feature, a new studio launch, or a seasonal refresh, it's worth enquiring early.
After Launch
What happens after my website launches?
You'll receive everything you need to feel confident moving forward:
- a clear handover guide
- a recorded walkthrough (so you can revisit it anytime)
- two weeks of email support for small questions as you settle in
The goal is for your site to feel calm and manageable — not something you have to tiptoe around.
Do you offer ongoing website support?
Yes — Studio Care is reserved for studios I've worked with, and it's optional. If you'd like continued support after launch, you can choose a plan that suits your pace.
