Dina - Architecture portfolio template

About Dina

Dina is a one-page portfolio template for residential interior designers, decorators and anyone whose work is judged by how a room takes the light. The whole site is planned around daylight: a pure white ground, near-black type set in the light serif Spectral over Source Sans Pro, a single dusk-violet accent, and a full-bleed hero that shows one living room in its morning and its evening, slowly crossfading between the two with a corner time chip that lights whichever hour is on screen.

The homepage walks a visitor through the practice the way a client would. A figure band states the years and the homes. A portfolio grid of six projects closes every card with a drawn compass needle pointing the way its main room faces. A light study shows one kitchen at seven, at one and at six under a time ruler. Services are set out by how much of the home they cover, each with a small plan glyph, a duration and a starting price; the process names where each of its seven stages happens, from the first walk-through to the first morning in the finished house. A finish schedule lays out one project room by room, the way the sheet is issued to the trades, and the about block closes on a strip of the designer's working day. Client quotes come in pairs - on moving in, and a year later - followed by a press column, a grouped FAQ on fees, timing and area, a closing band and an enquiry form that opens on a compass row asking which way the house faces.

The Portfolio app is wired in with ten example homes across Chicago - greystones, two-flats, a bungalow, courtyard and lakefront apartments - each with four daylight photographs, a location, a year, a bearing and a room count that feed the homepage cards and the project pages. Replace the rooms with your own, keep the compass honest, and the site says the one thing every client wants to hear: that you noticed the light before they did.
