One project, many rooms: projects now have areas

A whole-home job no longer has to be split into separate projects. Keep it together as one, give each room its own area with its own photos and description, and each area still shows up in its own category on your website.

Whole-home remodel

Full-Home Design
  • Kitchens
  • Mudrooms
  • Living rooms

The kitchen shows on your Kitchens page with its own photos, and opens straight at the kitchen section. The mudroom shows on your Mudrooms page with its own photos, and opens straight at the mudroom section. The living room shows on your Living rooms page with its own photos, and opens straight at the living room section. Hover or tap an area.

Most jobs in a portfolio are not one room. A whole-home remodel touches the kitchen, a mudroom, the living room, and until now it had to live on the website as separate projects, each telling part of the story.

One project, as many areas as the job had

A project can now be split into areas. Each area picks its own category, has its own description and holds its own photos. The project keeps a category of its own, such as Full-Home Design, and its page tells the whole story in order: one section per area.

Areas

Each area shows in its own category on your website.

Try it: change a category, add an area or add a photo.

In the admin, each area has a category, a description and its photos. Upload straight into an area, or move photos that are already on the project.

Every area still shows where people look for it

Someone browsing kitchens still finds the kitchen. The project appears on the category page of every area it has, with that area's own photo and name, and opens straight at that section. Under its own category it appears as the whole job.

Switch categories: the same project shows the matching area.

On every category page, a whole-home project shows the matching area and opens at its section.

Nothing is lost when projects are combined

  • Photos move with everything attached to them, including where they were already posted on Google.
  • Reviews, collaborators, timelapses and before-and-afters come along.
  • Old project links keep working and open the right section of the combined project.

Areas are rolling out to the sites we run, starting with interior design.

Have a business that needs a website run properly?

We take on a small number of sites: ones we design, build and look after, with the people who built them a message away.
