Projects Overview
Caves Studio needed a website that could sell high-end interior work as clearly as their portfolio does in person. We handled branding, design, development, CMS setup, and a lead flow so enquiries land in one place instead of getting lost in inboxes.
Built with React and Next.js, the site includes a custom admin dashboard, blog, and lead management. The team can update projects and content without touching code, which keeps the site fresh long after launch.
The admin dashboard ties projects, blog posts, and leads into one view so the studio team sees enquiries alongside the work that inspired them. Custom fields support room types, locations, and featured imagery without bloating the editor.
Performance was treated as part of the brand: large interior photography loads progressively, layouts stay stable, and mobile visitors get the same premium feel as desktop.
Our work with Caves Studio spanned discovery, information architecture, visual design, development, QA, and launch support. We aligned milestones with their marketing calendar so pages, assets, and stakeholder reviews stayed on track. The build uses React, Next.js, CMS so the team can ship updates without rebuilding from scratch each quarter.
Beyond launch, we focused on how Caves Studio would actually run the site day to day: who updates content, how enquiries are routed, and what happens when new services or products are added. The production site at cavesstudio.com/ is structured for ongoing campaigns, SEO, and partner referrals. The result is a polished digital presence that supports real sales conversations, not just a one-time redesign.
Challenges & Constraints
Interior design is a visual business. The site had to feel premium, load fast on mobile, and still be easy for a non-technical team to run day to day. Stakeholders at Caves Studio needed confidence that design choices would hold up under real buyer scrutiny, seasonal campaigns, and mobile traffic from prospects who rarely give a second chance after a slow or confusing first visit.
- Translating a strong offline brand into a digital experience that feels intentional, not template-driven.
- Building a CMS and admin setup simple enough for daily updates without developer help.
- Connecting lead capture, content, and project data so sales follow-up stays organized.
- Aligning design, copy, and development timelines so launch dates stayed realistic without cutting QA.
- Planning information architecture that works for first-time visitors, returning partners, and internal teams adding content later.
- Balancing visual ambition with performance budgets so pages stay fast on mid-range phones and variable networks.
- Setting up analytics, forms, and tracking so marketing can measure what works instead of guessing from anecdotal feedback.
- Designing a CMS schema flexible enough for varied project types while keeping the editing experience simple for non-developers.
