How much does an architecture practice website cost?

Cost depends on the size of the archive. A studio with fifteen to twenty projects and a straightforward structure typically lands between five and ten thousand dollars. Larger practices with multiple sectors, a journal, and a careers section run higher. We quote a fixed price after a short call, so there are no hourly surprises.

How long does the build take?

Six to eight weeks for most practices. The timeline usually depends on how quickly project photography, drawings, and credits come across rather than on the development itself. Practices with images already organised move faster.

Will the site handle large renders and photography without slowing down?

Yes. That is the part most practice sites get wrong. We generate responsive image sets in modern formats and serve them through a CDN, so a full-bleed render arrives at full quality on a large display and at an appropriate size on a phone.

Can our team add new projects after launch?

Yes. Every site includes a project template set up for your image sets, captions, credits, and sector tags. Adding a completion takes about twenty minutes and we include a short walkthrough recording at handover.

Will a redesign affect our existing search rankings?

Not when it is handled properly. We map every redirect, preserve the project URLs that press and awards sites link to, and monitor rankings for ninety days after launch so anything that slips is caught early.

A Web Design Company for Architects Who Understand the Work Comes First

Your portfolio is the pitch. Everything else on the site exists to get out of its way. Esco Logics builds practice websites where the photography loads at full quality without stalling, the typography stays quiet, and a developer reviewing your work at eleven at night finds exactly the project they came for.

Why Practices Choose Esco Logics for Architecture Website Design

Most agencies treat an architecture practice like any other professional services client. They deliver a template, drop in four project photos at whatever size the theme allows, and hand over a site that renders your work at a fraction of its quality. Your images are the product. We build the image pipeline first and design the site around it, so a full-bleed render loads in under two seconds without being compressed into mush.

We also design for how commissions actually arrive. A developer, a private client, and a graduate looking for a job all land on the same homepage with completely different questions. So the site answers them separately: sector-led project filtering for the developer, a considered process page for the private client, and a studio page that makes the practice worth joining. One site, three audiences, no compromise between them.

Qualities That Define Our Architecture Firm Website Design Approach

01

The Work Sets the Design

We look at your projects before we open a design tool. A practice doing heritage restoration needs a different visual language than one doing modular housing. Colour, grid, and type are chosen to sit behind your photography rather than compete with it.

02

Image Performance Without Compromise

Large renders and full-bleed photography are the reason most practice sites are slow. We handle it properly with responsive image sets, modern formats, lazy loading, and a CDN, so your visuals arrive at full quality on a laptop and stay fast on a phone.

03

Structured to Attract the Right Commission

Filtering by sector, scale, and status lets a prospective client find work that matches their brief in two clicks. If you want more commercial work and less domestic, the structure should say so before anyone reads a word.

04

Yours to Run After Launch

Adding a completed project should take your practice manager twenty minutes, not a support ticket and an invoice. We build a CMS with a project template already set up, so uploads, captions, credits, and ordering are handled in one screen.

End-to-End Website Design For Architects

Strategy, art direction, build, content, and launch handled by one team. You will not be passed between a designer who has never handled a 40 megapixel render and a developer who has never structured a project archive. We take the practice from first conversation to live site, then stay available for the next project upload and the one after that.

What Our Website Designers For Architects Deliver

A first site for a new studio, a rebuild for an established practice, or an ongoing arrangement for a firm publishing several completions a year. We cover art direction, development, project page copywriting, image optimisation, technical SEO, hosting, and maintenance. Take all of it or hand us the build and keep the writing in house.

Custom Architecture Site Design and Development

No theme with your logo dropped into the header. We design from your work outward, using your drawings, your models, your photography, and your written thinking rather than the same stock office interior sitting on half the practice sites online. Restrained typography, a grid that holds up at every screen width, and pacing that lets a project breathe.

Practice Website Redesign Services

Is your current site five years old, slow with anything above a thumbnail, and impossible to update without help? We rebuild practice sites without losing the search visibility you have earned. Every redirect gets mapped, published project URLs stay where the press links point, and rankings are monitored through the switch. Your archive is the most valuable thing on the site and it survives the move intact.

Mobile-First Website Design For Architecture Firm Portfolios

Wide format photography and a five inch screen do not agree naturally. We art-direct the crops rather than letting the browser squash a landscape render into an unreadable strip, so a project reads properly whether someone is at a workstation or scrolling on the train. Navigation stays reachable one-handed and gallery swipes behave the way people expect on a phone.

Project Archive and CMS Built for Practices

Your archive grows every year and the site has to grow with it without turning into a maintenance problem. We build a project template that handles image sets, drawings, credits, client names, sector tags, and completion dates in one consistent structure. Add a password-protected area for client reviews or competition submissions if you need one, and a careers page your studio can update the week a role opens.

Key Features of Working With Web Designers For Architects

Fully Customizable

Project templates, sector filters, journal, awards, and careers pages built around how your practice actually presents itself. Nothing forced into a layout that was designed for a different industry.

Built for Imagery

Your renders and photography deserve better than a compressed thumbnail. Responsive image sets, modern formats, and a CDN deliver full quality at speed on every device.

Easily Manageable

Publish a completion, reorder a gallery, update a team bio, or post to the journal. Your studio handles it from a single dashboard with no developer request needed.

Mobile Friendly

Art-directed crops, thumb-reachable navigation, and gallery behaviour that works the way people expect on a phone rather than a shrunken desktop layout.

Search Visible

Clean structure, fast pages, proper schema, and project pages written to be found. Being on the second page of results for your own sector costs commissions.

Enquiry Focused

Contact details reachable from any project page, a short enquiry form that asks only what matters, and a studio page that gives a prospective client a reason to make the call.
