Website design, portfolios and branding for architects and interior designers

The work is beautiful and the portfolio is a 40 MB PDF. Projects are photos without context, and someone about to hand over their home can't tell how you work, how long it takes or where it starts.

THE PROOF

Where it starts.

An architecture studio's site: from a PDF portfolio to the method, phase by phase.

What the site shows

A 40 MB PDF and nine wordless photos: beautiful, and no idea how you work

An architecture practice sells something the client hasn't seen yet: their home, their shop, their hotel, redone. To convince them it shows other people's projects. But a project photographed without context only says the result looks good. It doesn't say what was there before, what the constraints were, how long it took or how the practice worked with the client.

This goes for architecture and engineering practices working with private clients, for interior designers, for studios that design shops and venues, and for firms that run renovations from start to finish with an in-house designer. The problem is the same for an architect's website and an interior designer's: turning a portfolio into a reason to call.

The problem with websites for architects

The first problem is the portfolio. An architect's online portfolio is often a heavy PDF sent by email, or a gallery of huge images that won't open on a phone. Someone who finds the practice on Google doesn't download a PDF: they look at three photos, if they load, and go back.

The second is the story. Magazines show finished projects; a private client wants to know how you get there. Brief, site survey, design, permits, building work, site supervision: a site that explains the stages and the timing removes the biggest fear, which is not knowing what you are getting into.

The third is search. Most private clients search for "architect" or "interior designer" plus the city, or for the type of job: renovating a flat, designing a restaurant. A site made only of images, with no text, tells Google nothing.

What an architecture practice's website needs

Projects told as case studies: the before, the brief, the constraints, the choices, the after, with images prepared for the web, light and sharp, in several sizes for each screen. A page for each type of project the practice wants more of. The method and the stages, with indicative timings.

The people in the practice, with their roles. The location of each project written properly, because that is also how you get found by people searching in that area. A simple way to ask for a first meeting, saying what to bring.

And the right images: one project photographed well is worth three photographed badly. Photo and video can be shot on your best work, once the site is closed and the light is right.

How we work with design practices

We start from the projects the practice wants to do again most often: those are the ones to tell first, and best. The website is built around them, with SEO on what private clients really search for and a brand that holds up on the drawing sheets as well as on the site hoarding.

We don't have a published case study with an architecture practice yet: below you'll find the studio's portfolio, with sites built on images and real cases for hotels, construction firms and design brands.

If you run a practice and want to know timing and costs, ask for a quote: we answer with the figures and the date you would be online.

IN THEIR WORDS

What clients say.

In the world of bilingual yacht charter, the first impression on the web is worth everything. Now our platform is fast, elegant, and provides all the technical details it takes to bring clients on board without a worry.

Frequently asked.

No. Photos make people want the project, but the client needs to understand what was there before, what you changed and why. A project told through its brief, constraints and choices sells the method, not just the result.

With images prepared for the web: modern formats, several sizes for each screen, loaded only when needed. An image-led site can open quickly on a phone too, if the images are handled properly.

Yes, that is how most private clients search. The practice's Google Business Profile, a page for each type of project and case studies with the location written properly are the basis of local search, and of an architect's website.

Better not, at least not up front. A badly photographed project describes worse work than it really is. We can shoot your two or three best projects and start from those.

It depends on how many projects, languages and shoots are needed. The online quote asks one thing at a time, then we answer with costs and timing.
