A lot of what you're hired for is invisible in the finished building.
WEBSITE DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTS
Site constraints, zoning, approvals, technical decisions, drawings, problem-solving and coordination are all part of getting a project built. Your website should help prospective clients understand the expertise behind those decisions and why it matters to their project.
BEFORE THE FIRST INQUIRY
Prospective clients don't always understand what it takes to get from an idea to a finished building.
They may not know where your role begins, what happens before construction, how you navigate site constraints and approvals, or why your scope and fee differ from another architect's.
If your website leaves those questions unanswered, you spend the first conversation explaining your role and process instead of discussing their project.
YOUR WEBSITE SHOULD ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS BEFORE THE FIRST INQUIRY
THE FULL PICTURE
Your website should help clients understand what they're hiring you for.
01
From idea to construction
Give prospective clients a fuller picture of what goes into an architectural project, the role you play throughout it, and what they can expect along the way.
02
Beyond the finished project
Go beyond finished photography by giving context to the decisions behind each project, from site and planning constraints to the problems you solved along the way.
03
Before the project begins
Give prospective clients the information they need to understand your services, approach and project fit before they inquire.
BEFORE THE FIRST CONVERSATION
Spend less time explaining the basics. More time discussing the project.
When prospective clients already understand your role, process, services and the types of projects you take on, the first conversation can start further along.
Instead of using that time to explain what you do or establish basic fit, you can talk about their site, their plans, their constraints and whether the project makes sense for both of you.
A strategic website gives you another source of clients
You don't need to replace referrals. You need additional ways to bring the right projects into your business.
We structure your website to convert interest from search, social media, press, directories and other channels into inquiries from prospective clients who understand what you do and why they should hire you.
CUSTOM WEBSITE DESIGN FOR ARCHITECTS
A website designed around your business and the projects you want to win.
We plan and custom design your website around how you practice architecture, the projects you want to take on and what prospective clients need to understand before they choose you.
Starting at $3,000
01 — Plan
We define your website strategy and structure, including how to present your services, projects and process, what prospective clients need to understand, and how your inquiry experience should work.
02 — Design & Build
We turn the strategy into a custom Squarespace website, designing each page around your content and projects and building it across desktop and mobile.
03 — Launch & Handover
We complete foundational SEO, test the site across devices, prepare everything for launch and hand it over so you can confidently manage it going forward.
Questions before we start your project.
-
We’ll decide which projects should lead, what each project needs to communicate, and how to combine photography, drawings and project context so your portfolio shows more than the finished result.
-
You’ll provide the project photography, drawings and key information we need to understand your business and projects. We’ll guide you on what to gather and where we need more context.
-
Yes. We optimize your images for the web and design the site to balance strong architectural photography with performance across desktop and mobile.
-
Yes. We build your website in Squarespace and include a handover so you can add projects, update content and manage the site after launch.
-
You can, and for some practices starting out, that's enough. What you're investing in here isn't the platform. It's the strategy: positioning your practice, deciding which projects lead, explaining your process and fees, and building an inquiry form that screens projects for you. Many architects' sites are well designed but say very little. This is about making yours do the explaining for you.
START YOUR WEBSITE PROJECT
Let your website explain your role, so the first conversation can be about the client’s project.
Tell me about your business, the projects you want to take on and what clients usually don't understand before they reach out. I'll review it personally and reply with the next step.
