Project pages and case studies
Pages for each project with sector, scale, your role, credits, and the story behind key decisions.
The Problem
Your Best Work Loads Too Slowly to Win the Commission
Most website design for architecture firms treats photography as decoration. Developers and homeowners judge you on those images, often on a phone between meetings.
01 · Stalling heroes
A full-size hero export stalls the page on a phone.
Every image gets served in AVIF or WebP at the size each screen needs.
02 · Bare thumbnails
Project thumbnails show no sector, size, or role.
Each project page covers sector, scale, your role, and key design decisions.
03 · Thin inquiries
Your RFP form asks for a message and nothing else.
Inquiry forms ask project type, budget range, and timeline, with brief uploads.
04 · Sector search
A developer can't filter your work by sector.
Portfolio filters let prospects jump to the sectors they care about.
A developer shortlisting firms for a mixed-use project opens your site on their phone in a site trailer. Your hero image is a full-size export from the photographer, so the page stalls. The projects page is a grid of thumbnails with no sector, size, or role. Your RFP form asks for a message and nothing else. They move on before your best building loads.
We start with your projects, not a template grid. Each project gets a page with sector, scale, your role, and the story behind key decisions. An image pipeline serves the right size and format for every screen, so full-bleed photos stay sharp and fast. Your RFP form asks what you'd ask on a first call. Prospects see your work, not a loading spinner.
Photos that stay fast
Every image served in AVIF or WebP at the size each screen needs.
Projects told as stories
Case studies that explain the brief, constraints, and design decisions, not just the photos.
RFP intake that qualifies
Inquiry forms that ask project type, budget range, and timeline, with uploads for briefs.
Our Architecture Website Process
From Portfolio Review to a Fast Launch in Five Steps
You approve each stage: the sitemap, the case study format, a clickable design, a staging site with your full photo set, and the launch.
We review your project archive, your target clients, and how RFPs and inquiries reach you today. You then get a sitemap, a shortlist of lead projects, and a fixed price.
What's Included
What You Get With Architect Website Design
Every build covers project pages, an image pipeline, RFP intake, and studio pages, with 3D viewers and office pages on larger plans.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs Portfolio Templates vs Branding Studios
Many website designers for architects sell a beautiful template, and for a small studio that can be enough. Templates are quick and cheap. Here's where each option holds up.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Portfolio template | Branding studio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio structure | Narratives by sector | Image grid | Custom, design-led |
| Image performance | AVIF and WebP pipeline | Varies by platform | Often heavy exports |
| Drawings and plans | Zoomable viewer | Static images | Static images |
| RFP intake | Qualifying form with uploads | Basic contact form | Contact form |
| 3D models | Viewer on larger plans | Embeds only | Rarely offered |
| Visual design | Custom to your studio | Template limits | Strong visual identity |
| Time to launch | 4 to 12 weeks | Within a week | Often several months |
| Pricing model | Fixed quote, site is yours | Low monthly fee | Project fee, often higher |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built 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 Architects Trust Us With Their Portfolio
Our designers and developers work from your drawings and photography, not stock layouts. These habits keep projects accurate, credited, and fast.
Photography treated as the product
We build every page around your images and test them at full size on real phones. A slow gallery undersells a building that took years.
Credits done right
We list photographers, collaborators, and your firm's role on each project as you approve them. Accurate credits protect relationships with partners and clients.
Drawings you can zoom
Plans and sections open in a zoom viewer instead of one blurry image. Developers read the drawings, so we make them legible.
Speed checked on every upload
New projects run through the same image pipeline as launch. Your site stays fast long after we hand it over.
Straight answers first
If a portfolio template shows your work well enough, we'll say so before quoting. A small studio may not need custom code yet.
You own the archive
Domain, hosting, and site files are in your firm's name from day one. Your project archive doesn't depend on our accounts.

Good fit
Studios pitching commercial developers
You compete for mixed-use and commercial work, and developers judge your site on a phone before the first call.
Residential architects seeking larger commissions
Your custom homes are your best marketing, but your WordPress site shows them as small, slow thumbnails.
Practices with large project archives
You have years of photos and drawings and need a portfolio structure that filters by sector and scale.
Firms adding 3D visualization
Your team already models in SketchUp, Rhino, or Revit and wants selected models viewable on your site.
Agencies with design-firm clients
Your agency signed an architecture practice and needs a Webflow or WordPress partner who can handle heavy imagery.
Not a fit
Clean gallery is enough
You're a solo designer who mainly needs a clean gallery. An architect portfolio website on a good template may be enough, and we'll say so.
Product configurators
You want interactive configurators for furniture or fixtures you sell. Our 3D Product Configurator Development page covers that work.
Speed fixes only
You mostly need faster load times on a site you already like. Website Speed Optimization is the smaller, cheaper job.
Budget under $1,400
Your budget is under $1,400 for a full practice website. Start with a template and add project stories later.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Our architecture sites start at $1,400 for 10 pages and 12 portfolio entries, with an image pipeline and inquiry form. Practice sites with 30 entries, case studies, and RFP routing start at $3,400. Multi-office builds with 3D viewers start at $6,900. Quotes are fixed after a free discovery call.
A studio site takes 4 to 5 weeks, and a practice site takes 6 to 8 weeks. Multi-office builds with 3D viewers take 9 to 12 weeks. Gathering photography and credits is usually the slowest part, so we start that list in the first week.
Serve each photo at the size the screen needs, in AVIF or WebP, and load images below the fold as visitors scroll. Keep originals for downloads, not page views. Show blueprints and plans in a zoomable tile viewer such as OpenSeadragon, so visitors read detail without loading one giant file.
Relevance and proof attract both: projects filtered by sector and scale, with your role stated plainly. Developers look for delivery facts like program, size, and schedule. Residential clients want to see how you listen, so show the brief and your decisions. Good modern architecture website design lets the buildings carry the page.
Structure each case study as a short narrative: your brief, the site and its constraints, your key design moves, and the finished building. Lead with the strongest photo, then alternate text and images every screen or two. End with credits and links to similar projects in the same sector.
Two paths work best: a short inquiry form for homeowners and a fuller RFP form for developers and institutions. The RFP path asks project type, site, size, budget range, and timeline, and accepts uploaded briefs. Each submission reaches the right principal with a CRM tag, not a shared inbox.
Yes, an architecture website can show 3D models through a three.js viewer or a Sketchfab embed. We convert your model to glTF, a web-ready 3D format, and load it only on request. VR walkthroughs work through WebXR on supported headsets, so we pair them with 360-degree renders any phone can show.
An architect portfolio website shows projects, while a practice site also wins and qualifies work. The practice site adds project narratives, sector filters, RFP intake, and studio pages that explain how you work. Solo designers often need only the portfolio. Firms pitching developers or institutions usually need the rest.
Yes, we move your projects, photos, and credits from Squarespace, WordPress, or a portfolio platform. Each image goes through the new pipeline, and old project URLs redirect to their new pages, so links from publications keep working. You get a checklist of missing credits or drawings before launch.
Your firm owns the site: domain, hosting, files, and every project page. Photo licenses stay between you and your photographers, and we credit them as your agreements require. Each plan includes 30, 60, or 90 days of fixes, and your team can add projects without us.
