Build a business website that collects inquiries

Imagine a two-person interior studio preparing for an open house. Visitors keep asking for examples of completed rooms, while consultation requests arrive with no budget or timeline. The studio needs one place where someone can understand its work and leave enough detail for a useful first conversation.

A business website live app fits that job: present the work, explain the services, and collect an inquiry. Start with the questions you need answered before accepting a project. A beautiful page that only asks for an email address still leaves the studio chasing the brief.

The short version

Describe your services and the projects visitors should inspect. Ask for an inquiry form with the details you need for a first conversation. Try a sample submission and review it from the owner's side. Check collection permissions before publishing your app.

Describe the business and the next action

Gather the project photographs, short descriptions, service boundaries, and contact questions you want to use. Distinguish completed work from concept images in your own materials. Then adapt this request:

Build a website for an illustrative interior studio called North Room.
Show six sample projects: two apartments, two cafes, and two home offices.
Use clearly labeled placeholder images until I provide our photographs.
Explain our space-planning and interior-design services.
Add a consultation form asking for name, email, space type, approximate
size, budget range, desired timeline, and a project description.
Collect inquiries in an owner view so we can review the brief together.
Show a receipt after submission, explaining that we will review the request.
Use a calm editorial layout with readable project descriptions on mobile.

The business and projects here are illustrative. Replace them with your own information, including what the studio actually offers. For creating the app, publishing a link, and deciding who can read submissions, follow Build a live app on your canvas.

Try the studio example

The example combines a studio introduction, signature projects, a consultation form, and an inquiry view. It illustrates the task; your request will produce its own result.

Try these two actions:

1. Browse Signature Projects, then reach Consultation. Notice whether the project examples answer enough questions before you reach the form.
2. Submit a made-up inquiry, then open View Inquiries to inspect the details collected for the studio.

This preview uses disposable sample data. Your changes reset on reload, and submitting the form does not send a real email. The inquiry view is exposed so you can explore the example; configure your real app's collection permissions before sharing it.

Improve the first conversation

After trying a draft, ask for one change that removes a real ambiguity:

Add a required question asking whether the property is already secured.
Show the answer in the inquiry view beside the timeline and budget.
Keep existing inquiry records, and show “Not provided” for older entries.

Before using the app with visitors, submit a test inquiry with deliberately incomplete information. Check the required fields, the receipt wording, and what another visitor can read. Keep personal contact details in a collection whose viewing permissions match the intended audience. If the next action is choosing a fixed appointment rather than describing a project, use a booking app instead.
