Paid design consultations for Greater Manchester homes and the landlords who furnish flats.

Each designer gets a storefront page with portfolio, the boroughs and towns they cover from Wigan to Wilmslow, the sessions and packages they sell, languages and live availability. Storefronts are built from structured data, so they load quickly on a phone and appear in search for the areas each designer actually serves.

If you charge designers a monthly or annual membership, the platform bills it automatically, shows each plan's benefits such as search placement or lower commission, and handles upgrades, downgrades and failed card retries. Designers manage their own plan without emailing your team.

Private clients pick a session, see the full price including any booking fee, and pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or pay by bank. Strong Customer Authentication is handled by the provider, and the confirmation sets out cancellation rights and what to prepare.

A landlord or letting agent opens a business account, adds colleagues, lists properties by address and requests design for several units at once. Designers reply with a quote covering the whole batch, and accepted work is billed on a VAT invoice rather than through consumer checkout.

Larger packages take payment in milestones: a deposit, a scheme stage and final drawings. Funds are held and released by the payment provider when the client approves each stage, so the platform company never holds client money itself, which keeps it clear of the extra payment regulation that would otherwise apply.

Applications include portfolio, insurance, trading status and references. Your team reviews each one and can award badges such as rental furnishing specialist or period property experience once evidence is seen. Badges expire if insurance lapses, and the designer is prompted to renew.

Greater Manchester spans ten boroughs, from Wigan and Bolton to Tameside and Stockport, and Cheshire East towns such as Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Knutsford sit just beyond the boundary. The platform generates pages for each area from live listings, showing designers who cover it and the project types they take, so search visibility grows as the network grows.

After booking, the client or landlord fills in a short brief: rooms in scope, who lives there, what must stay, and photos or the floor plan from a letting listing. For rental units the brief also asks about the target tenant, such as young professionals near Spinningfields or families in Sale, so the designer comes ready with ideas that suit.

Reviews come only from completed bookings, and business reviews are labelled as such so homeowners can tell a landlord's view from a family's. Your moderation policy is published and applied evenly, in line with the ban on fake and concealed reviews in the 2024 consumer law reforms.

Consumer cancellations follow the Consumer Contracts Regulations and your own terms. Business disputes follow the contract terms on the account. In both, each side submits evidence to one case thread and the operator can hold, release or refund, with every decision logged for later reference.
