Can I migrate my Squarespace or Houzz portfolio to VeloCMS?

Yes. From Squarespace: export via Settings → Advanced → Export → WordPress XML — VeloCMS imports pages and posts as drafts with content intact. From Houzz: there's no bulk export, so you'll download photos from each project manually and re-create them as portfolio posts in VeloCMS. Houzz Pro leads can be exported as CSV from the Leads section. Most designers complete the migration in 3–5 hours for a portfolio of 10–15 projects. Your existing Squarespace and Houzz profiles stay live throughout — no downtime for incoming inquiries.

How do before/after portfolio posts handle 20+ photo galleries?

The portfolio post format in VeloCMS includes a multi-image gallery block that handles 20, 30, or 50+ photos with lazy loading, keyboard-navigable lightbox, and per-image caption and source-attribution fields. You can sequence photos into sections — 'Before', 'Demolition', 'In Progress', 'After' — each as a separate gallery block within the same post. The gallery renders at full viewport width on desktop and swipeable on mobile. Images are served via Cloudflare R2 with CDN delivery and automatic WebP conversion for fast loading even on high-resolution portfolios.

Why is Mid-Century Modern the recommended theme for interior designers?

The Mid-Century Modern theme was designed around the Eames–Braun–Saarinen visual era: Fraunces italic headings for handcrafted warmth, a warm amber and walnut brown palette, olive cream backgrounds that make photography pop rather than compete, and atomic-age SVG ornaments as section dividers — all design details that signal a thoughtful aesthetic sensibility. It looks nothing like Squarespace template #47 or Houzz's profile grid. Alternatives: Atelier Modern for contemporary design firms with a cooler, Helvetica-driven editorial feel; Curator for high-end portfolio presentation with a gallery-white, editorial-magazine aesthetic. All three are included free on every VeloCMS plan.

How do source-list pages work with affiliate links?

In Admin → Settings → Affiliates, add your affiliate IDs for Chairish, 1stDibs, Design Within Reach, CB2, IKEA, and Amazon Associates. When you create a link to a product in any post or page, VeloCMS automatically appends your affiliate tag and renders a visible affiliate disclosure above the link per FTC guidelines — no manual disclosure copy-pasting required. You can create dedicated 'Where to Shop' pages (e.g., /source-list/mid-century-modern-living-room) that list every piece from a portfolio project with sourced links. Admin → Analytics tracks click-through on each affiliate link so you can see which projects and which pieces drive the most referral traffic.

Can I capture detailed client inquiry data — scope, budget, and timeline?

Yes. The inquiry form in VeloCMS captures structured fields: project type dropdown (residential full-scope / kitchen and bath only / commercial space / home staging / color consultation), approximate square footage (free text), budget range (under $20K / $20–50K / $50–100K / over $100K), preferred start timeline (immediately / 3 months / 6+ months), current style preference (Mid-Century Modern / Scandi / Japandi / Maximalist / Transitional / Not sure), and a free-text 'describe your space' field. Every submission is stored in Admin → Members as a contact record with the full form data, and sent to your email immediately. No Houzz intermediary, no lost leads.

Do mood boards have to live on Pinterest, or can I host them natively?

They can live natively on VeloCMS pages — and that's the better choice for SEO. A page at yourdomain.com/mood-boards/japandi-kitchen with curated images, material descriptions, and source links accumulates organic search traffic for queries like 'Japandi kitchen mood board 2026' — traffic that builds your domain authority, not Pinterest's. Pinterest boards are great for discovery and can stay as a secondary presence pointing back to your site, but the canonical reference should be on your domain. VeloCMS pages support image grids, color swatch blocks, embedded YouTube or Vimeo inspiration clips, and rich text commentary — everything a mood board needs.

Does VeloCMS take a cut of my design consultation fees?

No. VeloCMS charges 0% platform fee on any revenue you collect through the platform. When a client pays your $150 initial consultation fee or your $5,000 full-scope retainer through your VeloCMS checkout page, 100% of that payment goes directly to your Stripe account. The only transaction cost is Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee — the same rate you'd pay using Stripe on any platform. You connect your own Stripe account (60-second OAuth flow in Admin → Settings → Membership), and every payment goes directly to your bank account, not through VeloCMS.

Can I run Atelier Modern or Curator instead of Mid-Century Modern?

Yes. All three themes are included free on every plan. Atelier Modern is a better fit for contemporary design firms with a cooler, more restrained palette — Helvetica-driven typography, generous whitespace, and a layout that foregrounds photography without the warm-retro warmth of Mid-Century Modern. Curator is designed for high-end portfolio presentation with a gallery-white aesthetic, editorial column widths, and a quiet typographic hierarchy that feels closer to a museum catalogue than a design blog. You can preview all three at /themes/midcentury-modern, /themes/atelier-modern, and /themes/curator — and switch between them at any time from Admin → Themes without losing any content.
