What's breaking right now
What's broken on most interior-design websites
Cost of delay
A weak interior design booking handoff can cost the paid consultation, the first site visit, or the high-budget project conversation that should have started immediately.
The handoff is not leaking because the homepage is ugly. It is leaking because the website and FareHarbor are not sharing the same first minute. That is broken-handoff repair for businesses on FareHarbor.
Path fit
What a FareHarbor-connected website does instead
The site qualifies the consultation type before the booking handoff starts. On the native path, FareHarbor handles the appointment or workshop checkout directly through Lightframe. On the custom path, the website captures project scope and budget context first, then passes the buyer into the right FareHarbor booking flow.
Native path
Use the FareHarbor Lightframe when the business offers paid consultations, showroom sessions, or design workshops that should book directly from the website.
Controlled path
Use a custom intake layer when the site needs to separate full-service design projects from bookable consults before handing the buyer into FareHarbor's availability and checkout flow.
When someone asks AI who to hire for interior design, your site should survive the comparison.
Buyers are not just using Google. They are using AI to compare options, verify claims, and build a shortlist before they click through. That means answering the obvious questions clearly, showing proof that fits this buyer, and making the next step easy once they arrive.
What that requires
- Answer the obvious questionsReplace vague brochure copy with direct answers about fit, timing, pricing, and what happens next.
- Back the claims with proofPut the proof where the buyer feels the most doubt: examples, specifics, response expectations, and real outcomes.
- Make the next step easyGive the buyer a clear action and route the inquiry into the right person and the right software.

- 2request in your business software is created under 60 seconds.

Leakage estimate
About 3 inquiries a month are at risk here.
That is roughly $24,000 in revenue pressure if the handoff keeps slowing down before FareHarborsees the inquiry.
Directional estimate based on 16 monthly inquiries and about 17% of them not making it through, with $8,000 per inquiry.

Commercial bridge
The System Check comes first. Preview comes after it.
After The System Check
Use Preview once the handoff problem is named.
Start with The System Check so the leak and workflow drag are named before Preview.
Still evaluating
Use The System Check when the problem still needs a name.
If you are not yet sure whether the loss is speed, where the lead goes, or follow-up discipline, use The System Check before you pay for the preview.
Want The System Check first
Start with the public estimate, then come back here.
The System Check gives you a first-pass leakage read. Preview becomes the right move once you want the private fix built around your site.
