should not provide 1st free visit.
1. It's not just a "visit" - it's professional expertise.
When a designer steps on site, they instantly start analyzing layout, lighting, space planning, and potential issues, That knowledge comes from years of experience.
2. Time = money
Travel time, site evaluation, discussion, and basic planning all of this takes hours. Free visits undervalue the profession.
3. Clients often take ideas without hiring.
Many people collect ideas from multiple designers and never proceed. This leads to loss of time, effort. and creativity.
4. Sets the wrong expectation.
If the first step is free, clients may undervalue the entire design process later.
5. Serious clients don't hesitate to pay.
A paid consultation filters genuine clients who respect your work and are ready to invest.
Charge a consultation fee - and adjust it later in the project cost if they proceed.
