Goals/Needs
Responsibilities
Showcase past projects, manage bookings, promote seasonal packages and convert browsing visitors into site bookings or enquiries.
Pain Points
Portfolio images are not presented well online; she has limited time to manage a site; enquiries are irregular and often price-sensitive.
Metrics Affected
Monthly enquiries/bookings, booked appointment conversion rate and average booking value.
Tactical Problem
Create a mobile-friendly portfolio-plus-booking site that increases monthly enquiries from 4 to 12 within 4 months.
Root Cause
Current site is DIY and inconsistent, with no easy booking form and low search visibility for local staging services.
Business Impact
Irregular income, difficulty planning work, inability to expand into higher-value staging packages.
Dream Outcome
Launch a polished site with integrated booking and contact flows to increase enquiries to 12 per month and convert 30% of enquiries to paid bookings within 4 months.
Outreach
Touchpoints
Instagram and Pinterest (visual platforms), local Facebook community groups, partnerships with estate agents, home improvement fairs, printed postcards for local estates, and Google Local Service ads.
Alternatives
Simple template builders or marketplace listings; Sites Done Right offers managed visual templates, local SEO and simple booking integration.
Risks
Continued feast-or-famine bookings, lower average job price, inability to attract estate agent referrals and missed opportunities for cross-selling home office packages.
Benefits
Quick-to-launch portfolio templates, integrated booking and enquiry forms, local SEO optimisation and minimal technical maintenance.
Resource Ideas

Tone Of Voice
Warm, encouraging and visually-minded with practical advice.
