Heya is ours, so read its row with that in mind. Every other number comes from each company's own pages, checked on October 28, 2026.

An interior design site has two main jobs: showing room photography clearly and turning visitors into booked consultations. So you'll want to watch the image and storage caps on entry-level plans. Format Basic allows 70 high-resolution images, and Pixpa Basic allows 200 images and 3 GB of storage before you need Format Pro ($12 per month billed annually for 1,500 images) or Pixpa Creator ($6.75 per month billed 2-yearly for unlimited images). Wix Light has 2 GB of storage at $17 per month on a yearly subscription, while Showit gives you 20 GB at $22 per month. Our builder supports up to 200 files per site (up to 20 MB each), resized to 2048 pixels and converted to WebP.
For booking, Squarespace has Acuity Scheduling, Wix includes native scheduling tools, and Heya lets you embed a Calendly page.
Paying $10 to $39 per month for a larger platform makes sense when your site also runs your client management or content hub. If you want clients to review room concepts and leave feedback on your site, Pixpa includes client galleries with proofing, favorites, image comments, ratings, and secure file delivery on every plan. Format gives you 10 to 250 client galleries with 2 GB to 10 GB of file transfers, plus CRM Light and client contracts on Pro ($12 per month billed annually) and Pro Plus ($15 per month billed annually).
Need proposals, contracts, and invoices in the same dashboard? Squarespace pairs Invoicing with its portfolios and Acuity Scheduling, while Wix combines a CRM, lead capture forms, and a unified inbox. And for WordPress blogging, Showit's $39 per month USD Advanced Blog plan lets you design your WordPress theme in Showit and supports thousands of plugins.
