Sésamé Déco
The art of elevating your image.

For an interior decorator, a website is not just a tool — it's an art gallery. A look back at the creation of a "From Scratch" digital portfolio designed to win over both private clients and professionals, while displaying dozens of HD photos at full speed.

The context

The challenge.

01

Brand Identity

Camille had designed her own logo. The entire visual universe of the site — fonts, colours, mood — had to be built around this existing logo to create perfect consistency and a premium image.

02

Dual Target

The site had to speak to two very different audiences: private clients (renovation, home staging) and professionals (offices, wine cellars). One website, two distinct journeys.

03

Image Performance

Displaying dozens of high-definition project photos without slowing the site down. On WordPress, this would have required heavy, costly and often unstable plugins.

The answer

Beauty & speed.

01
Design · Art gallery

Minimalist Design

A refined "art gallery" design with plenty of white space to let the photos breathe. Gold and sand tones echoing Camille's logo. The design doesn't steal the spotlight from the work — it enhances it.

02
UX · Dual journey

B2B / B2C Journey

Two distinct entry points created from the homepage and the menu: "For Professionals" and "For Private Clients", with separate galleries, tailored keywords and CTAs for each target audience.

03
Tech · Native code

Custom-Built Code

"From Scratch" development. Next-gen WebP format and native Lazy Loading for instant display. Zero plugins, zero dependencies, zero single point of failure.

Natural SEO

Google Images as an entry point.

In interior design, people search for visual inspiration first. Every project photo was turned into an SEO entry point to the site.

  • Written Alt attributes
    No photo is named "IMG_2022.jpg". Each image is described precisely (e.g. "Industrial kitchen renovation Bordeaux") to be indexed by Google.
  • Next-Gen WebP Compression
    Images 30% lighter than JPEG, with no visible quality loss to the naked eye. Gallery photos load instantly.
  • Responsive adaptation
    Images resized according to the screen (mobile, tablet, desktop) to load only the necessary pixels. Identical performance regardless of device.
