A paid booking portal that brings Birmingham households and local designers together.

Clients describe the rooms, the rough scale of the project, the postcode area and when they want to start, and add photos. The brief goes only to approved designers who cover that area and that type of work, not to everyone on the platform, and the client's contact details stay hidden until they choose a designer.

Designers reply with a written proposal: what they will do, the fee, any staged payments and how soon they can start. Proposals sit side by side for the client to compare, and accepting one turns it into a booking with payment taken at once or in agreed stages.

For clients who know who they want, each designer lists a first session at a set fee with live availability, as a video call or a visit within the area they cover. Sessions in Moseley, Edgbaston or Solihull each respect the designer's own radius and buffer times.

Designers can choose to credit the first session fee against a full design package if the client goes ahead within a set period. The terms show before payment and the credit appears automatically on the package invoice, so neither side has to remember what was promised.

Birmingham is one of the most linguistically varied cities in the UK. Designers can list the languages they consult in, such as Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali or Polish, and clients can filter on them. Booking emails and reminders are written in plain English that reads well for people using English as a second language.

Designers submit a portfolio, insurance details and their trading status, and where they trade as a company the operator checks the registration. Optional badges show membership of professional bodies such as the British Institute of Interior Design, but only after your team has seen proof.

A payment provider with connected accounts takes each payment, holds back your commission and releases the designer's share once the session or stage is marked delivered. Staged packages release each stage separately, which protects clients on larger jobs and keeps designers' cash flowing.

Clients get an email and text reminder before each session, with the address or video link, the brief they submitted and a one tap reschedule option inside your cancellation window. Designers get a morning summary of the day's visits with travel notes, so a visit in Hall Green straight after one in Handsworth is planned rather than discovered.

Clients review only after a paid session or package is complete. Each review names the project type, such as a kitchen refit in Erdington or a loft bedroom in Kings Norton, so the next client can see relevant experience, and designers can post one public reply.

The portal tracks the cancellation rights consumers have on services bought online, records an express request for early work, and applies your cancellation fees. When a client and designer disagree, both add their side and evidence to one case, and the operator decides whether to release, hold or refund.
