Calm, considered websites for architecture practices.

Architecture websites need to do very little — and do it well. They should present work clearly, handle imagery with care, and age gracefully over time. Too often, strong projects are undermined by cluttered layouts, unnecessary animation, or systems that are difficult to maintain. I work with architecture practices to design and build websites that are calm, considered, and structured around the work itself, while allowing flexibility for more bespoke ways of presenting projects and aligning with broader brand identity where needed.

Who this is for

  • Small to mid-sized architecture practices
  • Studios refreshing or building their portfolio website
  • Practices whose current site no longer reflects the quality of their work
  • Teams that want a calm, understated presentation of projects
  • Practices that need a site they can manage easily as new projects are completed
  • Teams interested in improving brand presentation alongside their website

What I do

  • Refine the brief into a clear proposal and project scope
  • Plan site structure and user journeys for clear project presentation
  • Design interface mockups and prototypes before development begins
  • Build bespoke websites using WordPress, Craft CMS, or similar platforms
  • Create flexible portfolio systems for projects, practice profiles, and news
  • Support brand uplift or visual toolkit updates to ensure the website aligns with your practice identity
  • Enable more bespoke features where needed, such as interactive or non-standard ways of presenting work
  • Provide one-to-one training and documentation to help your team manage the site confidently
  • Ensure strong performance, accessibility, and long-term maintainability

How I work

  • Collaborative process with direct communication throughout
  • Focus on clarity, hierarchy, and careful use of imagery
  • Fully bespoke design and development rather than template themes
  • Responsive layouts that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • CMS-driven sites so your team can easily add and update projects
  • Offer ongoing support through retainer packages for minor updates or ad hoc amendments as needed
  • Plan for future iterations so the site can grow and evolve with the practice

Outcomes

  • A calm, professional online presence that reflects the quality of your work
  • Clear and considered presentation of projects, drawings, and photography
  • Flexible, bespoke systems for showcasing work beyond standard templates
  • Brand and website aligned for a cohesive digital presence
  • A site that is easy to manage, with training and documentation provided
  • Long-term support options for updates, maintenance, and evolving business needs
