The story

Her skill was never the problem. Her reach was.

Meet Ananya. She is an architect in Indore with eight years of beautiful homes behind her. Her work is excellent. But every client she has ever had came through word of mouth, and word of mouth only travels so far.

Across India, many architects, interior designers and Vastu consultants are just like her: brilliant at their craft, unseen beyond their own city. And on the other side, a family planning their first home has no easy way to find someone they can trust.

Vastoco is building the bridge between them. Verified professionals. Paid consultations. Clients who arrive with a clear brief.

But every building needs a front door. Design the homepage that makes a family in Jaipur trust a stranger, and makes a young architect in Guwahati say, “this is where I grow.” The best design becomes our real homepage.

The blueprint

Two front doors. One clear story.

Walk through our current site, then design it better.

Door 1 · For clients

For a homeowner or business looking for the right professional.

  • Find and compare verified professionals
  • Understand what “verified” means
  • Book a 15, 30 or 45-minute paid consultation
  • Share budget, scope and timeline up front

Door 2 · For professionals

For an architect, interior designer or Vastu consultant deciding whether to join.

  • Paid consultations, verified profiles and client briefs
  • How verification works, including the COA check for architects
  • Free to join; professionals keep 85% of every consultation
  • A clear “Join” call to action

Your handover pack

  • Desktop (1440 px) and mobile (390 px) designs of both doors
  • A Figma link with view access, or a PDF from any tool
  • A 2–3 minute walkthrough video explaining your choices
