Demos for architects

Architect website demos.

Real templates we can spin up for your practice — open any of them to see the design, copy and feel for a residential, commercial or heritage client.

Why it matters

What an architect's website does for the practice.

Clients commissioning architecture — homeowners spending £400k+ on a build, developers picking a delivery partner — shortlist by what the website signals. If your site doesn't look as considered as the buildings, you don't make the meeting.

Look as considered as the buildings.

Clients can't tell from a brief alone whether a practice's taste matches their project. The website is the only proxy. A site that's understated, photographed properly and quietly confident is the difference between a meeting and a polite decline.

Turn the project portfolio into commissions.

Each completed project gets its own full-bleed case study — drawings, photography, brief, completed result. Indexed individually so each ranks for residential, commercial, heritage, retrofit and sector-specific intent.

Win "architect near me" on the long-tail.

Postcode and conservation-area-targeted SEO, Google Business Profile setup, real client reviews. You show up when a homeowner with a Victorian terrace in your patch is looking.

Trust signals that actually convert.

RIBA chartered, ARB-registered, conservation-area experience, listed-building track record — pulled into the header. The reassurance a client needs before a £20k fee commitment.

What's in the site

Built around how architects actually win commissions.

Every feature on this list earns its place by either signalling taste, building credibility, or shortening the path from visit to a first meeting.

  1. Portfolio as the centrepiece.

    Project gallery is the home page, not buried under services. Each project is a full-bleed case study — drawings, photography, brief, scope, outcome. The page leads with the work because that's how clients pick architects.

  2. Project case-study pages, one per build.

    Each delivered project becomes its own URL — residential, commercial, listed, conservation, retrofit, passive house. Indexed for sector and typology intent.

  3. RIBA / ARB / Part 3 badges in the header.

    If your practice holds RIBA chartered status, ARB registration, Part 3, CIAT or LABC affiliations — we put the credentials where they belong, with registration numbers linking to the official register. No badge, no problem; we leave them off.

  4. First-meeting booking form.

    Not a generic contact form — captures project type, location, budget band, planning stage. Routes to the right partner directly. Built for someone serious about a commission, not casual browsing.

  5. Premium type and image-led layout.

    Type set the way an architect would set it — generous leading, no padding, no agency-template clutter. Photography at full bleed. The same restraint the work shows.

  6. Mobile-fast, lighthouse-clean.

    Pages built to score >95 on Lighthouse with full-resolution photography intact. Slow architect sites lose clients in the first 1.5 seconds; this won't.

Word of mouth

Trusted by architects across the UK.

Three residential commissions in the first six months after launch, two of them £600k+ builds. The portfolio-led layout did the qualifying — clients arrived already aligned with our taste.

Founding Director · Hartley Architects · London
The site finally feels like the practice we are. Three RIBA-chartered competition shortlists since launch, none of which would have happened on the old site.
James Pendle
Director · Pendle Architectural Studio · Edinburgh
Heritage and conservation enquiries doubled. Clients with listed Victorian and Georgian properties now find us specifically because the case-study pages name the typology.
Sarah Caldwell
Practice Lead · Caldwell & Co. Architects · Bath
I'm a sole practitioner. The new site reads as confidently as a 20-person studio. I've been turning work away for the first time in eight years.

FAQ

Architect website FAQs.

The questions architects ask before they hit the “get a price” button.

How much does an architect website cost in the UK?

An architect website from ConstructionWebDesign starts at £1,200, fixed price. UK architects typically pay £1,200–£4,000 for a portfolio-led, built-for-trade site, against £150–£400/month on a generic agency retainer. Hosting and SSL are included for the first year.

How long does it take to build an architect's website?

Seven working days from kickoff to a live site. ConstructionWebDesign uses a proven architect template, drops in your portfolio, RIBA / ARB credentials, project case studies and team biographies, and ships it. A full custom build runs three to four weeks.

What should an architect's website include?

Portfolio as the centrepiece, project case-study pages (one per delivered build), RIBA / ARB credentials in the header, practice biography, services framed around typology (residential / commercial / listed / retrofit), and a first-meeting booking form. ConstructionWebDesign ships all of that by default.

Do architects need a website?

Yes. Clients commissioning architecture — homeowners spending £400k+ on a build, developers picking a delivery partner — shortlist by Googling the practice's portfolio before they ring; without a website you're invisible at shortlist stage. ConstructionWebDesign builds architect-specific sites that fix exactly this.

What's the best website for an architecture portfolio?

One that gets out of the way of the photography. Full-bleed images, generous type, project case studies as individual URLs, and zero template clutter. ConstructionWebDesign builds the portfolio-led template so the work — not the layout — is the thing clients remember.

Do you do SEO for architects?

Yes. Every architect site ConstructionWebDesign builds ships with practice SEO baked in: schema markup, project case-study pages indexed individually for typology intent (residential / commercial / listed / retrofit / passive house), postcode keywords and Google Business Profile setup.

Can you make my project portfolio the centrepiece?

Yes — that's the architect template's whole premise. The home page leads with the portfolio, every project is a full-bleed case study, and services are framed around the typology of work rather than generic web-agency bullet lists. ConstructionWebDesign treats the portfolio as the conversion engine.

Can you build the site if I'm a freelance / sole-practitioner architect?

Absolutely — a meaningful share of the architects ConstructionWebDesign builds for are sole practitioners. The template scales from a one-person practice to a small studio; we adjust the team page, case-study count and practice scale accordingly. Pricing is the same fixed £1,200 either way.
