Three reasons interior design firms build a community.
01
Mood boards drive every project
The first 4 weeks of any project is mood-board iteration. A shared portal where designer and client swap images, vote, and comment is faster than email AND keeps the audit trail.
02
Vendor catalogue is competitive advantage
A private catalogue of trade-only vendors with custom pricing makes the firm faster to spec. Junior designers see what senior designers source.
03
Past projects are sales tools
A filterable portfolio organised by room, style, budget, location. Every new lead drops into a related-projects gallery and self-qualifies.
What BuddyX gives interior design firms
Four building blocks.
Mood-board groups per client
Each client has a private group. Designer uploads inspiration; client comments + reacts. Decisions captured in pinned posts.
Filterable portfolio
Filter projects by room type, style (modernist, traditional, transitional), budget range, location. Each project links to a discovery-call CTA.
Vendor + product catalogue
Trade vendor list with internal pricing notes, lead times, contact info. Restricted to staff role.
Client signoff workflow
Each major decision (palette, key piece, layout) becomes a signoff post. Client clicks approve; the decision is timestamped and immutable.
The stack
Five plugins. One install.
BuddyX Pro
Theme + mood-board layouts
BuddyPress

Paid Memberships Pro

Done for you
Membership site setup package
Five days. $699 fixed. We install, configure, brand, and hand over.
Yes, with a custom dashboard widget per project. Pull from your accounting system (QuickBooks / Xero) via Zapier; show the client a simple "you are at 78% of budget" bar.
How do we handle Pinterest research?
BuddyX integrates Pinterest-style cards in the mood-board groups. Drag-and-drop, hover for source, comment per pin. Replaces the Pinterest Secret Boards workflow with one in your own portal.
What about 3D renders + AR previews?
BuddyX hosts uploaded renders + embed any AR preview from SketchUp, Houzz, or Modsy. The portal becomes the central viewing room; clients do not bounce between four apps.

Wonderful support!
I've been developing a relatively complex website for my business, and my development experience is pretty limited. As expected, I ran into a number of difficulties, and ach time, the Wbcom team helped me resolve my issues quickly and patiently. I can't recommend their products and support enough!
