The Problem
Your Portfolio Wins Awards but Search Engines See Empty Pages
It shows up when a firm's site is all large photos and short titles, so a client searching for a school or custom home architect doesn't see the work.
Image-only
Project pages show photos and a title, nothing else.
Image-only
Each project gets text on the brief, site, type, size, and your role.
No typology
Clients can't find you by the building type they need.
No typology
Custom home, multifamily, school, and reuse pages each target their own searches.
Process gap
First-time clients don't know what an architect delivers.
Process gap
Phase pages explain what you deliver from schematic design to construction.
Credentials
Licensure and team roles are missing or vague.
Credentials
Licensed architects are named correctly, with registration details where you choose.
A school board needs an architect for a new middle school. A family wants a custom home on a steep lot. Both search, and both find directories and a competitor with a blog. Your site has dozens of striking projects, each one a gallery with a title and a year. Search engines see image files and almost no text. Your licensure, your process, and the zoning work you did for each client are nowhere on the page.
We start with the projects that show the work you want more of. Each gets a page with the brief, the site, the building type, the size, and the role your firm played, written from your notes. Images keep their quality, with alt text and photographer credit. Typology and process pages explain what clients get at each design phase. Your licensed architects are named correctly, so clients see who designed the building.
Portfolios search engines read
Every project gets text: the brief, site, building type, size, and your firm's role.
Pages for each building type
Custom homes, multifamily, schools, and adaptive reuse each get a page that ranks on its own.
Design phases explained
Schematic design to construction administration explained for clients hiring an architect for the first time.

DeveloperLook vs Award and Press Exposure vs a General Web Agency
Awards and press build reputation, and a web agency may already host your site. Both help some firms; here is where each falls short on search.

|---|---|---|---|
| Who finds you | Clients searching by building type | Peers and design media readers | Depends on their SEO skill |
| Portfolio readability | Every project has indexable text | Coverage lives on other sites | Often image-only galleries |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and launched websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Architecture Firms Trust Us With Their Portfolio
Your portfolio is your proof, and your professional title is regulated. These habits keep your projects presented accurately and your credentials stated the way the law allows.
Titles used the legal way
Only people licensed in a US state, or registered with the ARB in the UK, are called architects on your pages. Designers and associates get accurate titles, which protects the firm.
Photographers credited on every image
Every project image keeps its photographer credit and the usage terms you agreed. We don't publish images your license doesn't cover.
Awards only when real
We list awards, publications, and LEED or Passive House credentials only after you confirm them. A wrong credit is easy to spot in a small professional world.
Your role stated honestly
Project pages say what your firm did: full design, interiors, or architect of record. Collaborators and joint ventures are credited, so no partner sees their work claimed.
Image quality protected
We compress large images carefully and check them on big screens before publishing. Faster pages shouldn't cost your renderings their detail.
Everything stays with your firm
Your site, profile, project text, and analytics stay in your firm's accounts. If you leave, the typology map and every page stay with you.

Architecture SEO starts at $800 per month for a small studio. That covers the portfolio rebuild with text and alt text, 2 project or service pages a month, and office profile cleanup. Firms growing a building type usually choose the $1,350 plan, and practices with up to 3 offices start at $2,150. You get a fixed proposal after we review your portfolio.
Setup takes 4 to 6 weeks, mostly for rewriting the portfolio, and inquiries usually build over 4 to 8 months. Local searches for residential architects can move sooner. Commercial and public clients search less often and decide slowly, so building type pages need time to rank and earn links.
It works alongside referrals, because referred clients still check your site before they call. Developers, school boards, and families compare portfolios, process, and credentials online. When your project pages explain the brief and your role, a referral turns into a meeting faster, and new clients find you by building type.
Local SEO for architects starts with an accurate Business Profile for each real office, then town pages built from projects you completed there. Pages that explain local zoning, design review, and approval steps help homeowners trust you before they call. Reviews from past clients and professional directory listings add local signals.
Because search engines need text to understand a project, and most portfolios show only photos and a title. We add the brief, site, building type, size, your firm's role, and credited captions to each project. Alt text describes what each image shows, and compressed files keep large photos fast without visible loss.
No, not unless they hold a license. US states restrict the title architect to licensed people, and the UK's Architects Registration Board protects the title there. We name registered architects correctly and give other staff accurate titles, such as designer or associate, which keeps the firm out of trouble.
It helps you get found before the RFQ goes out. Procurement teams and facilities staff research firms by building type, so sector pages for schools, libraries, and civic buildings put your experience in front of them. Pages list relevant projects, team roles, and certifications you hold, which supports your qualifications package.
It should know what clients get at each phase, from schematic design to construction administration, and explain it in plain words. First-time clients often search for what an architect does and how fees work. Phase pages answer those questions and show your process, which earns trust before the first meeting.
Yes. Architecture clients search by building type, location, and approvals, and many projects involve zoning or public review. Interior design clients search by room, style, and budget. We focus architect pages on building types, design phases, and licensure, and point interiors-only studios to our SEO for Interior Designers service.
Your firm does. Every project page, image caption, and analytics account stays in your firm's name on your own domain. If you leave, the typology map and the rewritten portfolio go with you, so your team or another provider can keep publishing without redoing the work.
