Aloha! Thank you for your message!
Regarding client contracts, I’d go to a legal firm in your country / state to get it done – interior design is quite complex with lots of moving parts and my clients have very comprehensive contracts, spanning often 20+ pages. They need to be created by a professional who understands your laws and the business of design.Our suites are both the same but have a different look & feel. Stockholm is a bit more masculine and Sydney feminine – but both have the same assets. We’re adding more assets over the coming months and they will be added to your package as soon as we’re done.
The suites are most valuable for professionals who don’t have your skillset as I’m sure you can create beautiful assets by yourself. Having said that, many of our customers buy a pack even if they are great at graphic design, to get all the assets ready hence saving time in figuring out what assets to create.
Canva is a great tool but you can also upload them as a PDF to any tool and continue editing!
I hope this helps! Good luck with your business, it’s an amazing journey 🙂thanks Karen! I added another 48 hrs to the code, it should work now.

Tiinahi, thanks for your questions! How exciting to launch a business 🙂 I think it’s a great strategy to combine your services and products in one place. Just be mindful of your focus particularly when you are getting started, since both business models require their own strategies to take off. I’d start generating leads ASAP like I covered in the training, so you will have your own list of future buyers. I’d also talk about how you use your products in your projects, and take a lot of pictures. E-commerce requires digital advertising (or a huge organic audience, which in turn takes a lot of time and money to build) So, make sure you learn how to run ads, particularly on Facebook & Instagram.
Good luck!
TiinaHi, thank you for your question! I’m always a bit hesitant to recommend a tech kit as I don’t know your exact business needs. But having said that, I’d definitely start with a CRM system that you can use in your client / marketing communication. Part of building a solid client pipeline is about managing continuous communication. Mailerlite is great tool, here’s a $20 voucher you can use to test it: https://www.mailerlite.com/invite/81131c0018be5
Monday and ClickUp are great project management tools, but I’d probably go with Asana. But then again, it really depends on your internal and external processes!
Tiinathank you for considering our bundles! The difference is only the design style, Stockholm (our most popular) is clean and suits most modern brands, Palma is modern and with a slight feminine touch, and our newest Sydney (which we’re currently developing) is very light and airy. All templates can be modified to suit your brand colors! I hope this helps!
Thank you for your questions!
Pricing and business models are complex indeed, and require a lot of thought, which becomes easier when you have started and been running your business for a while. I think the best way to get started is to define one service that you know you want to offer, and set a fixed price for that. This could be a Design Concept Creation, for example per room pricing, and then use per hour pricing to run your first projects beyond that fixed price.
Makes sense?
Once you have an understanding of the time spent on different projects, I’d move to a combination of fixed price + commission + percentage.
TiinaHappy to have you here!
