For an architect, the work is the pitch. A prospective client wants to see projects like the one in their head, confirm you are ARB registered, and get a feel for how you think before they ever email. A slow site with tiny photos hides the very thing that wins the job. Page Forge builds architects a portfolio-led website that lets the work sell itself.

The searches are practical: “architect near me”, “residential architect” with a town, “extension architect” or “architect for a listed building”. Your page needs strong project images and a clear line on what you do, extensions, new builds, conversions, planning applications, conservation and listed work. We build it to load fast even with big photography, because a gallery that stalls on a phone loses the client before they ever reach your best project. A homeowner scrolling on their sofa in the evening will judge you on how the work looks and how quickly it appears. There is nothing technical for you to touch: no logins, no plugins, no builder to wrestle with. We handle the design, the words, your domain and hosting, and optimise every image so the page stays quick without dulling the work. When you finish a project worth showing, you send us the photos and we add it, so your portfolio is always current and always the first thing a prospect sees.

Credibility still matters alongside the visuals. “Architect” is a protected title under the Architects Act, so your ARB registration belongs on the page, and RIBA chartered practice status reassures a client further. We set out your process, from first sketch to planning and on site, so an enquirer knows what working with you actually looks like and what the fees and stages involve. One clear price, everything included, live in about five working days, and a real person in Sussex to call. A larger site with a big project archive is quoted per project.

What your website needs to bring in work

A gallery that loads fast

Your projects shown large and sharp, and built to load quickly on a phone. Big photography usually means a slow site; we optimise the images so the work looks its best without the page stalling and losing the visitor mid-scroll. For an architect the gallery is the whole shop window, so it has to feel effortless on a phone as well as a desktop screen.

ARB and RIBA credentials

“Architect” is a protected title, so your ARB registration goes on the page as standard, with RIBA chartered practice status alongside it. These confirm to a client that you are the real thing, not a draughtsperson or designer using the word loosely. For a homeowner who cannot judge drawings, those two marks are a clear signal that they are dealing with a qualified, accountable practice.

The work you take on, clear

Extensions, new builds, conversions, planning applications, conservation and listed-building work. Naming your focus, residential or commercial, contemporary or heritage, helps the right project find you and filters out the rest. A client with a listed cottage will only call the practice whose site makes clear that sensitive, heritage work is something you actually do and enjoy.

timeline

Your process, explained

From first sketch through planning to construction, a clear outline of how you work settles a nervous client. People who have never used an architect want to know what the journey, the stages and the fees actually involve before they commit. Explaining the RIBA work stages in plain terms removes a lot of the anxiety that stops a first-time client from picking up the phone.

call

An easy first enquiry

A phone number and a short enquiry form, with a prompt for the project type and location. Most architecture enquiries start with a quick description of the site, so we make sending that effortless rather than a chore. The easier you make that first message, the more of the good projects browsing your gallery actually turn into a real conversation.

Client words that back the work

Genuine testimonials next to the projects they relate to. Photographs prove the outcome; a client’s words prove you were good to work with, which is the other half of the decision for someone about to spend a lot of money and live through a build. Hearing that a past client found you calm, clear and worth the fee is often what tips a wavering enquirer into instructing you.

Three steps. That’s it.

No jargon, no committees, no six-week timelines. We get your area businesses online fast.

Common questions

Can you build a proper portfolio that still loads fast?
Yes, and that balance is the whole job for an architect’s site. We show your projects large and sharp, then optimise every image so the page loads quickly on a phone. A beautiful gallery is worthless if it stalls before the visitor ever reaches your best work. We get the images looking their best while keeping the page light enough to feel instant, even on a phone with a weak signal.
Will you show our ARB registration and RIBA status?
We do. Because “architect” is a protected title, your ARB registration goes on the site as standard, and we display RIBA chartered practice status alongside it. Both reassure a client that they are dealing with a properly qualified, accountable practice rather than someone using the word without the registration to back it up. For a lay client, those marks carry a lot of weight.
We have dozens of projects. Is one page enough?
A strong single page works well for a focused practice, showing a curated selection of your best projects rather than everything you have ever drawn. If you want a large, browsable archive by project type, that bigger build is quoted per project so the site can carry the volume without slowing down or losing its focus. For many practices a tight, well-chosen selection actually converts better than a sprawling archive.
What does an architect’s website cost?
A complete one-page portfolio site is £99 to set up and then £29 a month, or £299 a year, with hosting, updates and support included. A larger site with an extensive project archive or individual case-study pages is quoted per project. There are no hidden extras, and adding a newly finished project to your page is part of the service rather than an extra bill.
Can you update the site as we finish new projects?
Yes. Adding a completed project is exactly the kind of change we handle for you, included in your plan. You send the photos and a short description, we place them, so your best and most recent work is always the first thing a prospect sees. Keeping the portfolio current matters for an architect, because a fresh, relevant project is often what convinces a new client that you are the right fit for theirs.
