Done by AI · not an agency

Sample designs
Six Zarla designs, shown for made-up interior design studios, from a full-service residential studio to an e-design service with a flat fee and a home stager quoting agents. Start from one and the AI rewrites it around yours, or let your brief decide.
Full-service · editorial
'Interiors Made to Be Lived In' as an editorial first screen with 'Book a Consultation' and 'View Our Portfolio' as the buttons, 'Spaces We've Shaped' as a masonry portfolio from 'Coastal Living Room' to 'Spa Bath', and 'From First Conversation to Final Reveal' as the process, for the studio that designs the whole home.
Modern · oversized type
'Modern Interior Design in Los Angeles' in oversized type with 'Start a Project' and 'See the Work', 'Modern Homes, Warmly Designed' as a grid portfolio by room (Living rooms, Kitchens, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Dining, Workspaces) and 'Modern, but Never Cold' as the opening line, for the studio with a point of view.
E-design · flat fee
A start-your-design card beside 'Your Dream Room, Designed Entirely Online', 'Design Packages for Every Room' from a single room to the whole home, 'A Designer, Without Leaving the Couch' in four steps and 'A Fraction of the Cost' said plainly, for the designer who works by email and a shoppable board.
Kitchen & bath · two rooms
'Kitchens & Baths Worth Coming Home To — Kitchen & Bath Design in Denver, CO' in a display serif with 'Book a Consultation' and 'View the Portfolio', 'The Two Rooms That Matter Most' as the portfolio and 'From First Drawing to Final Fixture' as the process, for the studio that does two rooms exceptionally.
Staging · quote first
A free-quote bar in the first screen under 'Homes That Sell Faster and For More — Home Staging in Phoenix, AZ', 'Listings Buyers Fall For' as the staged-listing gallery, 'How We Stage' for vacant and occupied homes and 'From Empty to Offer-Ready in Days', for the stager quoting agents on a deadline.
Luxury atelier · by introduction
'Bespoke Interior Design in Beverly Hills' as a type-statement split first screen with 'Request an Introduction' and 'View the Portfolio', 'Not Decorated. Authored.' as the opening line, 'A Portfolio, Discreetly Shared' and 'Three Beliefs of the Atelier', for the atelier that takes a limited number of commissions.
The checklist
What a good interior design website is laid out like, from the first screen down: six things it needs to turn a browse through your rooms into a booked consultation, each shown on one of Zarla's designs.
A client hires on taste before reading a sentence, so the first screen is a photograph of your best room and the second is the portfolio, sorted the way clients think: living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, or by project. Show six to twelve projects you'd take again rather than everything, name the city and the scope under each, and replace the sample rooms with your own photography as soon as it's shot. Several gallery layouts, picked by the AI for your kind of business, show your work on the pages that need it.
Most people hiring a designer have never done it, and the fear is not knowing what happens after the call. Walk it in four steps on the page: the consultation in their home, the concept and the plan, the ordering and the trades you manage, the install and the reveal; say who they'll deal with and how long each step usually takes, and the inquiry form at the bottom gets filled in by people who already understand the job.
Flat fee by the room, an hourly rate, a percentage of what you buy for the client, or a fixed e-design package delivered by email: the shape of the fee decides who calls, so say it on the services page in one sentence each and publish a starting figure where you can. An e-design studio that says a flat, upfront fee that's a tenth of traditional fills its inbox with the right clients; a full-service studio that says 'we work on a design fee plus purchasing' loses the ones who were never going to hire it.
The consultation is the sale, so give it the first screen: a 'Book a Consultation' button next to the headline, and a short form further down that asks the room or the rooms, the rough budget, the timeline and a preferred time, with a line saying whether the first visit is complimentary or what it costs. Every request lands in your leads inbox with an email alert, you confirm the time by reply, and the call button stays beside it for the client who'd rather talk.
A studio that speaks to everyone wins no one, so put the aesthetic in the first line: modern but never cold, collected not matched, authored not decorated. Then say what you are. In the US, 31 states plus Washington, DC and Puerto Rico give interior design some form of legal recognition, some as a protected title you register for and some as a rule on who may practice; say your credential exactly as your state issues it, and check with your state's board before you use a protected title such as 'registered interior designer'.
An agent with a listing going live on Friday is not reading a philosophy; they want a price and a date. Put a free-quote bar in the first screen that asks the address, vacant or occupied and the list date, say how fast you reply and how many days from walkthrough to photo-ready, and show staged listings by room so the agent can picture their own; a stager that answers inside a business day gets the agent's next listing too.
Process and turnaround
For comparison, from the pages of the studios and platforms that build interior designer sites: a 'completion in under 1 month' row on the spec table of an Austin studio that builds for interior designers, the tier not stated, and no published timeline at the Dallas and Long Island studios, the template shops or the theme vendor's cost guide; a cost-estimate guide puts a typical interior designer site at 4–9 weeks from first brief to launch.
Finish one sentence about your studio: the rooms you design, how you charge and where you work.
Zarla's AI designs your home page with call buttons and a quote form, then adds pages for your services (full-service, e-design, kitchen and bath, staging) and the neighborhoods you work in, up to your plan's page limit.

The honest part
Zarla does the design part of an agency's job with AI. Here's what you'd still be paying people for.
Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who build on Zarla and do the marketing work: SEO, ads and growth. The AI does the design; a person does the rest.
Browse Zarla partners →No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
The studios and shops that publish prices for interior designer sites charge $2,200 for a template, $11,300 for a semi-custom site and $18,000 and up for a custom one at an Austin studio that builds for designers, payment plans from $137 at a template shop plus $22 a month for the platform, and $297 a template at another shop; the Dallas and Long Island studios quote after a waitlist or a call. A theme vendor's guide puts an agency build at $3,000 to $15,000 and a freelancer's at $800 to $4,000, and a cost guide puts a freelancer's interior designer site at $4,350 to $13,800 and an agency's at $10,150 to $29,000. Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
One photograph of your best room in the first screen, the portfolio by room or by project, your services with how the fee works, the process in four steps, a consultation request form with what the first visit costs, your credential and your point of view in a line, the neighborhoods you work in, and your Google reviews. In the US, 31 states plus Washington, DC and Puerto Rico give interior design some form of legal recognition, some as a protected title you register for and some as a rule on who may practice, so say your credential exactly as your state issues it and check with your state's board before you use a protected title. Zarla adds service and neighborhood pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
The one published timeline for interior designer sites is a 'completion in under 1 month' row on an Austin studio's spec table, the tier not stated; the other studios, the template shops and the theme vendor's guide publish none, and a cost guide says 4–9 weeks. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
They can ask. The consultation request form takes the room, the rough budget, the timeline and a preferred time, every request lands in your leads inbox with an email alert, and you confirm the time by reply; Zarla doesn't hold a calendar for a design studio. A WhatsApp chat button on every published page: switch it on from the Apps page, enter your number, and visitors open a WhatsApp chat with you; taps are counted in analytics. Clients send a photo of the room and ask about a consultation.
Yes. Several gallery layouts, picked by the AI for your kind of business, show your work on the pages that need it: a grid by room on the home page, a project page with the before, the plan and the finished room, and a kitchens page with six projects if kitchens are what you want more of. Upload your own photography and the sample rooms are gone.
Yes. Connect your existing Google Business Profile and your Google rating and four- and five-star reviews show on the site, with the map pointing to your listing. Zarla reads the profile but never edits it; you change it in Google. A design client reads the reviews before the portfolio, so keep them near the top.
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
Finish the sentence with your town. Zarla's AI designs your site from it.
