More about websites for architects

Clients hire an architect with their eyes first and their budget second. A page that shows five strong projects, says what you design and where, explains how you work and charge, and makes the first call easy does more than a long portfolio nobody finishes.

What clients look for before they choose

Most clients check you online before they call, even when someone recommended you. These are the questions your page has to answer.

  • “architect for a house extension in Bristol”

    Someone who does their kind of project in their area. Name your project types and the places you work in plain words.

  • “how much does an architect charge”

    How you charge: a fixed fee per stage, a percentage or a range. Pages that explain it get more serious enquiries.

  • “[your studio] projects”

    Pictures of finished work, with what the brief was and what you did. A few well-chosen projects are enough.

  • “do I need planning permission for a loft conversion”

    A clear first answer, then someone to call. FAQs on your page show you know the process.

Why being visible matters for architects

  1. 1

    Projects are chosen by eye

    Homeowners and developers shortlist from what they can see. Without photographs of your work, even a strong reputation is hard to judge from a search result.

  2. 2

    Each project is worth a lot

    One residential project can be worth months of work. Being the practice that a nearby client finds, understands and calls first matters more than reaching many people.

  3. 3

    Better briefs, fewer dead ends

    Saying what you design, where, and how fees work brings enquiries that fit your practice and filters out the ones that don’t, before an unpaid site visit.

  4. 4

    Credibility you can check

    “Architect” is a protected title in many countries. Showing your registration clearly reassures clients and sets you apart from unregistered designers.

What being found could be worth to you

A practice needs only a few extra projects a year for a clear page to matter. Put in your own numbers: how many more enquiries a month, how many become commissions, and your typical fee for one.

Start small: one or two is realistic for most practices.

Use your own: out of ten people who get in touch, how many go ahead?

Rules worth knowing before you publish

Use the title you are entitled to, and use photographs you have the rights to.

  • “Architect” is a protected title in the UK (Architects Act 1997), in India (Architects Act 1972) and, through state licensing, in the US. Don’t use it unless you are registered.
  • Interior designer is not a protected title in India or the UK, but it is regulated in a number of US states.
  • Photographers usually own the copyright in their photographs: get a licence to use them, credit the photographer and ask clients before showing their homes.

Questions from architects

What should an architect’s website include?
A few strong projects with what the brief was and what you did, the kind of work you take on and where, how you work and charge, your registration, and one clear way to start. See architect and interior designer websites.
How many projects should I show?
Fewer, better. The gallery holds five photographs, which is enough to show range; link to a full portfolio PDF or published projects for more.
Will large photographs slow my page down?
No. Photographs are cropped and shrunk in your browser and saved in a small and a large version, so phones download the small one.
Is it suitable for a studio, not just one architect?
Yes. Choose the studio set-up for a site that speaks as “we”, shows your logo, team and work. One plan covers one website.
Can clients leave reviews?
Yes, on your live page: they give a star rating and a review and confirm who they are with Google or their email. You can’t write reviews yourself, and you see each reviewer’s contact details in your dashboard.
How much does it cost?
Build and preview free, then publish free for 7 days with no card needed. After that one yearly plan keeps your site online, and one plan covers one website. Prices are shown in your currency on the pricing page.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Connect a domain you own, like www.yourname.com, from your dashboard: you add one DNS record and we secure it for you. It’s included in your plan, and one plan covers one website and its domain. Or keep bevisible.site/yourname, ready for your card, drawings and email signature.
