Design clients hire the portfolio. The difference between a gallery and a client-winning site is structure — here is the interior designer's blueprint.

The case-study format (not just photos) Each project: 10–15 photos, the brief ('3-bed DHA house, budget-conscious, family of six'), your design decisions and why, before/afters where available, and the outcome ('completed in 14 weeks'). Clients hire your thinking; case studies show it. Six case studies beat sixty raw images.

The services clarity page Design-only, design + execution, turnkey — with honest price STRUCTURE hints (per-room, per-sqft, percentage). Vague services attract vague enquiries; specific ones attract budget-holders.

Process transparency Consultation → concept → 3D visuals → execution → handover, with timelines. Explaining process converts the client who has never hired a designer and fears chaos.

The photo standards Consistent editing across projects, wide shots AND detail shots (clients love joinery and fabric close-ups), and honestly-labeled stock only as gap-fillers. Compress to WebP — galleries are your heavy asset.

Technical notes A Business plan hosts the gallery comfortably; a PKR 999 portfolio theme (Forma) is the base; project pages grow monthly. The site is your silent pitch — most clients see it before they ever call.
