Websites for architects: what an architecture firm needs online.

Clients look at projects first, then at the firm. Most architecture websites show beautiful images and say very little.

In short: A good website for architects shows selected projects with location, year, size and scope of work, loads fast despite large images, introduces the team with faces and can be found on Google for “architect” plus the city.

An example from our work: the website of architect Dilsoz Kaidy, where the floor plan builds into a house as you scroll.

Projects at the heart

Better eight strong projects than thirty average ones. Each project gets its own page with location, year, floor area, client (if allowed), your scope of work and two or three sentences on the idea behind it.

Large images, short load times

Architecture lives on images. Modern formats like WebP and images that load only when they come into view keep the site fast anyway. On mobile, every second counts.

Say what you do and for whom

Housing, commercial, conversions, interiors? One clear sentence on the homepage helps clients and Google.

The team, with faces

Clients work with you for years. Photos and short texts about the people in the office build trust before the first meeting.

Getting found locally

  • A Google Business Profile with photos and current contact details.
  • City and region in the homepage’s page title.
  • Project pages that mention the location in the text.

Frequently asked questions

Does an architecture firm need a blog?

Not necessarily. Well-described project pages bring more. A few texts on typical client questions help on top.

What belongs on the contact page?

Phone, email, address with a map link and a short form. Plus one sentence on what happens in the first conversation.
