Interior designer profile on Websta: what to include

What goes on your profile page

Your Websta profile acts as a simple website. It should include a clear description of what you do - whether you specialize in residential interiors, commercial spaces, renovation advice, or a mix. List the services you offer: space planning, colour consulting, furniture selection, 3D visualization, project management, or others specific to your work. Add a location (town or region where you work) so local clients can find you.

A professional photo of yourself helps build trust. Include photos of completed projects - living rooms, kitchens, offices, or whatever you typically design. If you have before-and-after images, these are especially useful to show your work process. Without project photos, clients have little to judge by, so add them as soon as you can.

Write a short about section describing your background, approach, and the types of clients you work with. Keep it honest and practical rather than general. For example: 'I work with homeowners on apartment renovations and help select furniture and finishes within a set budget' tells potential clients more than vague phrases.

Services and how clients will find you

On Websta, people in Czechia search for interior designers by location and service type. Someone in Prague looking for help with a living room redesign, or a business in Brno needing office design, will use the marketplace to find providers nearby. List your services clearly so you appear in the right searches.

Decide which services you actually offer and price yourself. Websta does not set your prices - you do. Common services for interior designers include consultations (hourly or flat rate), full design projects (often quoted per project), room-specific designs, colour advice, or furniture sourcing. Be clear about what each service includes so clients know what to expect when they reach out.

• Consultations or initial advice sessions
• Full interior design projects with drawings or 3D visuals
• Specific room designs (kitchens, bedrooms, offices)
• Colour, material, and furniture selection
• Project management during execution

Booking and contact options

Your profile can include a contact form for people to request quotes or ask questions. You can also set up online booking if you offer time-based services like consultations. Many interior designers in Czechia use a mix: clients can book a first consultation directly, or submit a longer form describing a larger project they want a quote for.

Respond quickly to inquiries - clients often contact multiple providers and book the first one who replies. If someone fills out a form or books a slot, acknowledge it the same day if possible.

Languages for your profile

Publish your profile in Czech as your main language. Many people in Czechia search in Czech and expect to communicate in Czech. If you work regularly with English-speaking clients or international companies, you can add an English version of your profile or key sections. This helps you reach expat communities and businesses in Prague, Brno, and other cities where English is common.

What to sort out as an independent provider

As an interior designer working independently in Czechia, you need to be registered for tax and business purposes. This typically means registering as a sole trader (živnostník) with the local trade office (živnostenský úřad) or registering as self-employed with the tax authority (Finanční úřad). The exact requirements depend on whether you work as a registered business or freelancer. Check with your local trade office or a tax advisor about what applies to your situation.

You will need a bank account where client payments can be sent. Websta processes payments through Stripe, so card payments from Websta clients go directly to your own bank account - not through Websta. You handle your own tax reporting and invoicing.

If you work with clients' personal data (addresses, phone numbers, preferences), you should understand Czech data protection rules and GDPR. Keep records of projects and client communications for your own records and for tax purposes.

What to write in your first hour

Start with the essentials: a one-paragraph description of who you are and what you design. Write it as if you are explaining your work to someone meeting you for the first time. Include your location (the region or town where you work) and the main types of projects you take on.

List 5-8 specific services you offer. Be honest about what you do and do not do. Do not list services you cannot deliver.

Upload at least three project photos if you have them. If you are just starting out and do not have client photos yet, you can add your own space or mock-ups as examples, but be clear about what is your own work versus examples.

Write a short bio: your background, how long you have worked as a designer, and what you enjoy about the work. Keep it to 3-4 sentences.

Building your profile over time

Once your profile is live, you can refine it as you take on projects. Add new photos and descriptions of completed work. If you work on a kitchen redesign or office fit-out, document it and add the results to your profile. Clients want to see what you actually do, so updated project examples matter more than polished text.

Keep your location and service list current. If you expand into a new type of design or start working in a new region, update your profile so the right clients find you.
