The Challenge

Houzeome needed to move from a generic web presence to a site that reflected its actual portfolio and finished work. Specifically:

• Carry the studio's official brand identity — logo and colour palette — consistently across every page 

• Replace stock photography with real project photography across the homepage, services, and portfolio, correctly cropped for every layout 

• Give each flagship project a proper case-study page — brief, design approach, materials, and a photo gallery 

• Write website copy in a warm, human, design-led voice instead of generic real-estate or agency marketing language 

• Capture enquiries reliably, with the team notified by email the moment someone reaches out 

• Launch cleanly on the studio's own domain with HTTPS 

Our Approach

GullySales built a custom Laravel and Tailwind CSS site rather than a page builder or template, giving full control over layout, image handling, and performance.

Branding & Photography

• Implemented the studio's official logo as a full lockup across the header and footer, carrying its colour palette through every page 

• Sourced and placed real photography for six portfolio projects, auditing every image for correct aspect ratio and orientation so nothing appeared cropped or stretched 

Portfolio & Content

• Built a Projects section with individual case-study pages for each project — brief, design approach, material detail, and a photo gallery — ordered to the studio's preferred sequence 

• Rewrote all listing and detail copy to match a brand voice guideline supplied by the client — concrete, human, understated language over generic marketing phrasing 

• Added a Studio page combining the founder's story with the studio's six-stage design process, plus a favicon, social share image, and legal pages 

Enquiries & Launch

• Wired the contact form to store enquiries and send transactional email notifications via Brevo 

• Took the project from a staging environment to full production: a dedicated production database, an Nginx virtual host, and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for houzeome.com, canonicalised on the https://www address 

Results

Our work helped Houzeome achieve:

• A fully custom, production-live website at houzeome.com, secured with HTTPS  

• A portfolio of six real projects, each with its own detailed case-study page and correctly cropped photography  

• A consistent, official brand identity carried across every page  

• Website copy that reads like the studio's own voice rather than generic template copy  

• A working enquiry pipeline with automated email notifications for new leads  

Today, Houzeome has a website that acts as both a portfolio and a lead generator — giving prospective clients a genuine sense of the studio's work before they ever pick up the phone.
