174 | Core Elements Every High-Converting Interior Design Website Needs With Elle Kwan

“A good website really should be qualifying your inquiries and increasing them as well.”


Does your website actually do that? Or does it simply exist as a gallery of pretty images while you continue to explain yourself over and over again in emails, DMs, and discovery calls?


If you’ve ever hesitated before sending someone your website link, or felt a little cringe when a potential client says they want to “check out your site,” this episode is for you.


Today, I’m sitting down with Elle Kwan to unpack what separates a beautiful website from a high-converting interior design website — one that supports your business, filters your inquiries, and reflects the true level of your work.


She shares about what should actually be on your website, the most common mistakes designers make with their online presence, and how to know when it’s time for a website redesign.


If you want your website to feel like a confident extension of your brand — and a tool you’re proud to share — you’ll want to listen closely.
