In-Depth: Website Design & SEO for Architectural Firms
Most architecture firm websites make the same critical mistake: they prioritise visual design at the expense of search performance. The result is a beautiful website that nobody finds. Our approach integrates SEO requirements into every stage of the design and development process, ensuring your website looks stunning and ranks exceptionally.
Portfolio presentation is where we excel. We understand that architects need to showcase their work with high-quality imagery and compelling narratives. But we also know that search engines can't see images the way humans do. Our portfolio pages combine visual impact with SEO-optimised text content, proper image alt attributes, structured data, and internal linking that helps both users and search engines understand and value your work.
Information architecture—the way your site's pages are organised and connected—is fundamental to both user experience and SEO. We design logical site structures with clear service hierarchies, geographic coverage pages, and content hubs that make it easy for visitors to find what they need and for search engines to crawl and index your content comprehensively.
Performance is non-negotiable. We build websites that achieve excellent Core Web Vitals scores despite featuring large, high-resolution portfolio images. Through advanced image optimisation, efficient code, smart loading strategies, and quality hosting, we deliver websites that are both visually rich and lightning-fast.
Every website we build includes integrated lead capture mechanisms—strategically placed contact forms, clear calls to action, and enquiry prompts that convert visitors into clients without being intrusive or undermining the design aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you redesign my existing architecture website for better SEO?
Absolutely. We can either redesign your entire website or implement SEO improvements to your existing site, depending on its current platform, design quality, and your budget. We'll assess both options and recommend the most effective approach.
How long does a new architecture website take to build?
A typical architecture firm website takes 8-12 weeks from discovery to launch. This includes strategy, design, development, content creation, and thorough testing. More complex sites with extensive portfolios may take longer.
Will my new website rank immediately?
No website ranks immediately. However, by building SEO into the foundation, your new site will start gaining rankings faster than a retrofit approach. Most clients see significant ranking improvements within 3-6 months of launch.
What CMS do you recommend for architecture websites?
We recommend platforms that balance design flexibility with SEO capability. The best choice depends on your specific needs—portfolio size, update frequency, team technical skills, and integration requirements. We'll advise on the optimal platform during discovery.
