The cost of an architect’s website depends on how much of your work you want to show and how clearly you want to walk clients through the process. A tight portfolio of a few projects is lighter than a long archive with detailed case studies.
The price at a glance
Most architects fit Business Plus: $989 one-time for up to 20 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical architect site covers Home with featured projects, Projects, Services, Process and Inquiry.
What changes the price for an architect
- ✓Portfolio depth — each project with photos, drawings and a short story needs careful layout, and more projects mean more preparation
- ✓Project categories — separating residential, commercial and renovation work helps clients self-select but adds structure
- ✓Process explanation — describing phases from concept through permitting takes thoughtful writing, especially if clients are new to the field
- ✓Inquiry design — a simple form is quick, while one that screens by project type, location and timeline needs more planning
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A small studio with a handful of strong projects, a short services list and a single inquiry form can stay in the lighter package. Show quality over quantity and lead with the three or four projects you most want to repeat. Describe your process in a short, clear sequence.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Photography — professional architectural photography is a cost outside the site that pays off across everything you publish
- ✓Drawings and renderings — preparing images for the web may need extra time from your team
- ✓Project management tool — any client tool you use has its own subscription
- ✓Domain and email — a studio name and matching inbox signals professionalism
When it makes sense to step up
Step up when you want case studies with context for each project, work across several sectors or a team page with multiple principals. Publishing writing on design topics or running a separate page per service also calls for more room. If inquiries arrive without enough detail, a fuller inquiry flow helps.
