Why Curated Portfolios Convert Better

Focused

Stronger Positioning

A focused mix of projects communicates what you do best and who you serve best.

Practical

Better Enquiry Quality

Prospects arrive pre-qualified because they already understand your standards and style.

FAQ: Choosing Fireplace Portfolio Projects

Should I include only full-room transformations?

No. Smaller projects can be powerful if they show clear technical problem-solving or finish quality.

Are stove conversions better than decorative updates?

Both are valuable. Conversions prove technical skill, while decorative projects show design versatility.

How many categories should I start with?

Three to six categories are usually enough to show range without overwhelming visitors.

Can I mix gas and wood-burning projects on one page?

Yes, but keep categories clearly separated so clients can find relevant examples quickly.

Do I need professional photography for every project?

No. Clear, well-lit phone photos are often enough when paired with concise explanations.

How often should featured projects be refreshed?

Refresh quarterly, or faster during peak enquiry seasons.

"The right six projects can win more trust than sixty unstructured photos."
