Websites for architects and interior designers
For architecture and interior design studios, we build websites with a fast-loading visual portfolio, a brief form that prepares the first meeting and a portal where clients comment on and sign off each project stage. The studio gets better-defined enquiries and stops digging for approvals in e-mail threads. Clients always know which version is on the table.
Typical problems
- The portfolio lives in a PDF or on social media, and the website does not do the images justice
- First enquiries arrive with no brief, no location and no timescale
- Drawing and proposal versions travel by e-mail, and nobody is sure which one was approved
- Material and furniture choices are confirmed by text message and forgotten on site
Suggested bundle
- Visual portfolio
- Project brief form
- Client approval portal
A stone house, from brief to final sign-off
A family has bought an old stone house to restore. On the studio's website, they browse its rural refurbishments and fill in the brief: location, plot size, number of bedrooms, a rough timescale and photos of the house as it stands. The first meeting goes straight to ideas, rather than gathering facts.
Throughout the project, each stage appears in the portal with plans, sections and renders. The family comment that they would like one window larger, and the studio uploads a revised version. When the stage is approved, the record stays in the portal, dated, and becomes the reference for the builder.
A portfolio that shows the work as it is
- Full-page projects with large photos, plans and a short write-up
- Filters by type, such as housing, retail, refurbishment or interiors
- Project sheets with location, year and team, showing only what the studio chooses to share
- A page about the studio and how it works
- Portuguese and English versions for clients from abroad
Getting found by people looking for a studio
Plenty of studios already have a handsome website that is slow or awkward to update. A redesign keeps the identity while improving speed and content editing. Studios starting from scratch build on an institutional website with a portfolio. Clear descriptions of each project and of the area the studio covers help it appear in AI answers, through AI search visibility.
Frequently asked questions
Won't an image-heavy portfolio slow the website down?
Not if it is built well. Each image is prepared in several sizes and modern formats, and only loads when the visitor scrolls to it. Photos stay sharp on large screens and still open quickly on a phone.
What does the brief form ask?
The type of project, location, floor areas, the brief itself, the timescale and references the client likes, with the option to attach photos and existing plans. The questions change depending on whether it is a new house, a refurbishment or an interior. The studio arrives at the first meeting with the basics already settled.
How does stage sign-off work?
The studio posts each stage's drawings in the portal, from concept design through to technical design. The client comments directly on that version and approves it with one click, which is recorded with the date. Earlier versions are kept for reference.
Does it work for interior designers too?
Yes. For interiors, the portal shows mood boards, material proposals and furniture schedules with product references. The client approves each choice before anything is ordered, which avoids surprises at installation.
How much does a website with a portfolio and client portal cost?
We do not work from a rate card. We look at your portfolio, how many projects you run at once and what the portal needs to do, then send a tailored proposal. Request a quote
