Why architecture clients in London want the planning story, not just the photos

An architecture firm that publishes only completed photographs is missing the most compelling sales argument available. The planning story — the brief, the constraints, the planning challenges overcome, the relationship between the client's goals and the final design — is what differentiates a skilled architect from a draughtsman. London clients commissioning residential extensions and commercial projects are sophisticated buyers. A website that tells the project story converts better than one that only shows the result.

ARB registration and why London clients check it

The title 'architect' is protected by law in the UK. Clients commissioning building work increasingly check the ARB register before shortlisting. Your ARB registration number should be visible on your homepage and every project page — not buried in a footer or an 'About' page. We build architecture firm websites that display your ARB and RIBA credentials prominently, alongside your project portfolio, so trust is established before the client reads a word of your practice description.

Displaying CGI renders and drawings without slowing the site

Architecture portfolios are the heaviest sites we build: 4,000-pixel CGI renders, section drawings, axonometric studies and full-resolution photography all compete for the same load budget. On a template platform that means a slow, frustrating browse on the very devices clients use to shortlist you. Our architecture sites run on bespoke Next.js 15 deployed to Cloudflare Pages, serving each render in modern WebP at the exact size a visitor's screen needs, lazy-loading drawings below the fold and preloading the hero. The outcome is a PageSpeed 100 site that shows your work at full quality. Heavy visual portfolios are precisely where WordPress and template builders fail, and where bespoke engineering pays for itself.

Mapping the RIBA Plan of Work to your service pages

Most enquiries stall because the homeowner cannot picture what working with an architect actually involves or what it costs at each stage. Structuring your site around the RIBA Plan of Work — from Stage 0 strategic definition through Stage 4 technical design and Stage 7 in use — turns an opaque process into a clear, reassuring journey. We build a process page that explains each stage in plain English, what you deliver, where planning sits and how fees are typically structured, whether percentage-based or fixed. This sets expectations before the first meeting, filters out clients who only need a draughtsman, and gives serious residential and commercial enquirers the confidence to make contact.

Web Design for Architects and Architecture Firms in London

An architect's website is often the only piece of work a prospective client sees before deciding whether to make contact — and most architecture websites optimise for aesthetic self-expression at the expense of the commercial communication that actually wins projects.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What should an architecture firm website include to win residential commissions?+

Your project portfolio organised by type (extensions, loft conversions, new builds, heritage), your ARB and RIBA membership displayed prominently, planning success rate or approval statistics if you track them, and a clear process page explaining what working with you involves from initial meeting to planning submission to build. London homeowners want to understand the journey before they commit.

How do architecture firms rank on Google for London planning and design searches?+

By building project-type and location-specific service pages. 'Rear extension architect London', 'loft conversion architect Islington', 'listed building architect' are the searches that bring in immediate-intent clients. We build these pages as part of every architecture firm website.

Should we include planning case studies on the website?+

Yes — these are among the highest-converting pages on any architecture website. A case study that documents the planning challenge, the design response and the approval outcome demonstrates expertise in a way that general practice descriptions cannot. It also gives you content that ranks for specific planning scenario searches.

Do you build pages for conservation areas and heritage work?+

Yes. Heritage and conservation area projects have specific buyer searches ('conservation area extension architect London', 'listed building architect') and specific expertise requirements that clients want demonstrated. Separate pages for heritage work establish your credibility in this specialism and rank independently from your general residential practice pages.

How long does it take to build an architecture firm website, and what does it cost?+

Most architecture sites take 2-4 weeks; a straightforward starter site is around 10 working days, while a larger portfolio with multiple project-type pages runs 3-5 weeks. Pricing starts from £1,000 for a Starter site and £2,500 for a Growth build, with custom builds from £5,000. We confirm scope and a fixed quote before starting.

Can you make our high-resolution renders and drawings load quickly on the website?+

Yes. We build on bespoke Next.js 15 with automatic image optimisation, serving WebP at the right resolution for each device, lazy-loading and preloading where it matters. Deployed to Cloudflare Pages, your portfolio scores PageSpeed 100 with Core Web Vitals optimised, so even render-heavy project pages load instantly. No WordPress, no templates.

How long does it take to build?+

Most projects take 2–4 weeks from briefing to launch. More complex builds with custom functionality typically take 4–6 weeks.

Will the site rank on Google?+

Yes. Every site we build ships with technical SEO, semantic HTML structure, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and schema markup. We also offer SEO service pages tailored to your sector.
