Project websites with a built-in 360 tour
Instead of building a website in one place, renting a virtual tour somewhere else and stitching them together, Lotuz does both. The tour is built and embedded as the site is developed, so load speed, mobile layout and the visitor journey are planned together from day one.
- One point of contact for both website and tour, no need to coordinate two vendors
- Runs in the browser, no installation required
- Handed over with a CMS so you can update content yourself
What the embedded tour will look like
The four tours below are live. This is exactly what will sit inside your project website.
Components of a project website
The final list is agreed based on your project's scale and how you sell.
Project home page
An opening section with large imagery or an embedded tour, leading visitors through the information sections in exactly the order you want them to read.
360 tour embedded in the page
The tour displays right in the page instead of opening a new window, keeping visitors on your site rather than sending them to an unfamiliar address.
Product detail pages
Each unit type or zone has its own page, with floor plans, renderings and area details.
Image and video library
Renderings, construction progress photos and promo videos, organized by category so visitors can browse on their own.
Lead capture forms
Connected directly to your inbox or CRM, with lead source tracking.
Content Management System
Update news, construction progress and unit availability without going back to the developer.

Schedule planned backwards from launch day
Agree the site structure
Together we agree the page list, the visitor journey and the required components. The result is a sitemap for you to approve before design begins.
Interface Design
Designing the interface to the project's brand identity, approved as a design mock-up before development.
Development and tour embedding
Building the pages, loading content, and integrating the 360 tour and interactive components.
Testing and handover
Testing across devices and browsers, CMS training, and account handover.
Capabilities and technology
Lotuz Studio does not rely only on off-the-shelf commercial software. We build our own in-house tools for our own workflow — the practical reason we can shorten timelines and keep pricing stable.
Lotuz.AI — our in-house AI toolkit for Photoshop
Controlled image generation, relighting and resolution upscaling, running directly inside Photoshop. It is a commercial product on public sale at lotuz.ai.
- What you get: a much shorter post-production stage, so we can take on rush requests too
A sync bridge between SketchUp and 3ds Max
An in-house tool that pushes changes from a SketchUp model to a 3ds Max scene while keeping the materials and lighting setup already in place.
- What you get: mid-project design changes do not force a scene rebuild from scratch, so the schedule does not slip
AI image processing that runs on our own workstations
Background removal, selection and edge refinement are processed locally in our office; files are never uploaded to third-party cloud services.
- What you get: unreleased project files never leave our systems
Our own 360 tour management system
We build and manage tours ourselves on krpano, including multi-resolution image tiling so tours open fast even on weak connections.
- What you get: tours you control yourself, with no dependence on a foreign platform subscription
A ten-person team doing the work directly
The person you talk to is the person who does the work. No call center, no coordination middlemen, no handoff to a third party.
- What you get: focused technical feedback from the very first conversation
Multi-format input files
We accept models from SketchUp, Revit, 3ds Max and Rhino, as well as CAD drawings. For projects without a model, 3D modeling is quoted as a separate item.
- What you get: no file conversion needed before sending your documents
Build costs and running costs
Cost depends on the number of pages, the interactive components, and whether the tour and imagery already exist or need to be produced.
- We work under contract, issue VAT invoices and bill against sign-off milestones.
- If you already have a website and only need to embed a tour, that is quoted separately at a much lower price.
FAQ
We already have a website and just need to add a tour. Can you do that?
Who updates content after handover?
Whose name are the domain and hosting registered under?
Is the website search-engine friendly?
Will an embedded tour slow the page down?
How do we add a new zone when the project releases one?
