Results

Premium brand positioning

The site looks on par with the best design studios in New York. A client with a $200K+ budget sees LuxKitchen as a boutique option, not a typical factory.

Portfolio sells better than words

Large before/after photos from Manhattan and Beverly Hills — clients see the actual level and reach the form faster.

Different engagement levels

A client can start with a design consultation instead of a full renovation. More inbound leads at smaller tickets that grow into full projects.

Ready for new cities

The site already showcases projects in 3 markets — easy to expand to Chicago, San Francisco, and Dallas without rebuilding the site.

The Challenge

LuxKitchen designs and renovates premium kitchens: custom projects, bespoke cabinetry, smart home integration. Based in Brooklyn, with projects in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, and Miami. 15 years in the industry, 200+ projects.

The old site couldn’t compete in the luxury segment: hero load time of 5.1 seconds, SEO score of 59, Accessibility of 84. Three specific gaps:

  • A luxury brand sells through visuals — a high-net-worth client decides “this is for me” in the first 5 seconds.
  • 15 years of completed projects needed to be showcased beautifully — without this, reputation doesn’t convert.
  • The path from “I want a new kitchen” to the inquiry form needed to feel effortless — this is the luxury market.

What We Built

Luxury visual language

Refined typography, large kitchen photography

Every screen conveys exclusivity. Differentiated from generic kitchen factory sites — feels like Architectural Digest, not IKEA.

Service structure

Consultation → renovation → smart home

Clients understand they can take just a design consultation or a full renovation with smart home integration. Easy to choose an engagement level.

Portfolio

Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Miami

Large before/after photos with each project's story and materials used. 200+ projects — communicated through visuals, not boasting.

Soft funnel

"Book a consultation" without pressure

Short form — name, email, project in a few words. Response within 24 hours — a concierge format the luxury audience understands.
