Codeeo takes on interior design consultation booking website development Los Angeles founders, studios and home brands need to run a two sided platform: designers apply and are vetted, clients browse portfolios and pay for a session, and the platform keeps a commission before paying each designer. Los Angeles clients are visually demanding, often private, and spread from Venice and Silver Lake to Pasadena and the San Fernando Valley. California adds its own rules on privacy, pricing and renewals. The platform has to handle all of it from the first booking.
We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Los Angeles clients work with us remotely: discovery, design reviews and launch checks all happen by video call.

Marketplace capabilities
The Los Angeles design world runs on images and reputation. A client choosing between a designer who styles Spanish Revival homes in Los Feliz and one who works on modern hillside houses in the Hollywood Hills wants to see the work, the fee and real reviews before booking. Designers want their portfolio shown properly, control over which clients they take and payouts they can rely on.
California law then shapes the checkout and the account settings. The Honest Pricing Law expects the price shown to include mandatory fees. The Automatic Renewal Law governs any membership or retainer plan you sell. CCPA and CPRA give residents rights over their data. The capabilities below are interior design services platform development Los Angeles operators can run from one admin, with those rules built in rather than added after a complaint.
Large, fast loading galleries organized by project, with room type, style and neighborhood tags. Designers control the order and captions, and images are compressed and served at the right size for each screen so a profile with fifty photos still loads quickly on a phone. Before and after pairs, floor plans and mood boards can sit beside finished photography, which helps clients judge how a designer thinks, not only how the final room looked on shoot day.
The work sells the session.
Applicants submit a portfolio, specialties, service area, insurance and any credentials. Designers who use the California title Certified Interior Designer can enter their CCIDC number, and your staff verify it before the title is displayed. Your reviewers can admit, decline or waitlist applicants to keep the network's quality consistent. Insurance and credential expiry dates trigger reminders, and lapsed designers are hidden from search until they update their documents.
The network reflects your standards.
Session fees are shown with any mandatory platform or booking fee already included, as California's Honest Pricing Law requires for most consumer prices. Taxes and optional extras are listed separately. Payment runs through a marketplace processor using hosted fields for cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, which keeps PCI DSS scope small.
No surprise fees at the last step.
Each charge is split between your commission and the designer's connected account. Payouts release after completion, after a hold, or on a fixed weekly schedule. Designers see every booking, deduction and transfer in their earnings view, and the processor runs their identity checks and year end tax reporting. Commission can vary by designer tier, session type or the channel that brought the client.
Designers are paid on predictable terms.
A privacy notice written for CCPA and CPRA, cookie consent that respects opt out preference signals, and an admin queue for access, correction and deletion requests. Designers only see their own clients' addresses, photos and plans, and a client can ask that their home never appears in a portfolio.
Requests handled on time, with a record.
Some Los Angeles clients do not want their address or name visible to every designer they browse. Contact details are released only after payment, messages stay on the platform, and a client can require a signed confidentiality agreement before the designer receives the brief. Your staff can see who accessed a client record and when.
High profile clients book without exposure.
Beyond standard consultations, the platform can sell listing staging consultations for agents and sellers, and furnishing plans for new accessory dwelling units on single family lots. Each type has its own intake: listing date and photographer schedule for staging, square footage and layout for an ADU. Agents can pay on behalf of sellers and see every booking they have made in one statement.
Two busy Los Angeles niches get their own path.
If you sell ongoing access, such as a monthly styling plan, the subscription flow follows the California Automatic Renewal Law: clear terms before purchase, affirmative consent, an acknowledgment email and online cancellation that is as easy as signing up.
Recurring revenue without renewal complaints.
English and Spanish interfaces for search, booking, briefs and receipts, with room for Korean or Armenian if your audience in Koreatown or Glendale calls for it. Designers list the languages they consult in, and clients can filter by them. Confirmation emails and reminder texts follow the language chosen at booking.
More of the city can book without help.
Disputes open with the booking, brief and messages attached, and refunds reverse the payment split correctly. Reviews are limited to completed paid sessions and cannot be suppressed, which follows the FTC rule on consumer reviews and testimonials.
Clients trust both the ratings and the refund process.
Who this is for
Los Angeles has plenty of designers and plenty of homeowners, but finding the right match still runs on personal referrals and social media messages that never turn into paid bookings. A marketplace changes that by putting a vetted network, a clear fee and a checkout in one place. These are the businesses we most often see building one, each with a different reason and commission model. What they share is a need for trust on both sides before money changes hands.
A well known studio on the Westside can list associate and independent designers for smaller projects it would otherwise turn down. Clients book under the studio's name, the studio sets quality rules and commission, and its principals stay focused on the large commissions. Reviews attach to the individual designer, so the studio can see who is building its reputation.
Protect the name with vetting and refund rules.
Brands with showrooms around the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood or the La Cienega corridor can sell sessions with partner designers who specify their products. The platform records which designer brought which client, so trade pricing and referral fees on later orders have a clear source. Sessions can also be booked as showroom appointments, giving clients a reason to visit and see finishes in person.
Agents preparing listings across the Westside, Silver Lake or the Valley need fast staging advice. A brokerage or staging company can run a booking site with approved stylists, a fee per consultation and reporting by agent or listing, which replaces informal calls and texts with a paid, tracked process.
Builders finishing accessory dwelling units can offer owners a furnishing session at handover, and founders can start a consumer marketplace in Los Angeles before expanding across California. Either way, we build the first release narrow and keep the data model ready for more areas and session types. Reporting shows which neighborhoods and project types bring the most demand, guiding where to recruit next.
Start with a few areas you can supply well.
Engagement options
Founders usually start with a fixed scope first release covering vetting, profiles, booking, all in checkout and payouts. Once live, a monthly retainer adds features such as staging bookings, memberships or new languages in the order you choose. Groups planning several California cities can take a dedicated team that stays with the product. Every engagement runs remotely with written scopes, regular video reviews and a staging site you can test any time. You can change the engagement model as the platform grows.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
A modern web framework, a managed database, image delivery tuned for large portfolios, a marketplace payment processor with connected accounts, and monitored hosting. We build to WCAG so the platform meets ADA expectations, which matters as accessibility claims against websites are common in California.

Vetting, portfolios, booking, all in checkout, payouts and an admin.
The core is designer applications and approval, portfolio profiles, search by neighborhood and style, a checkout that shows the full price, split payments, payouts, refunds and reviews. Most Los Angeles platforms also need a CCPA and CPRA privacy setup, discreet booking options and at least English and Spanish. Staging sessions, ADU packages and memberships are common second phase additions once the core is booking well. What drives cost and timing is mostly the number of session types, the complexity of payout rules and the integrations you need.
