What a architect website needs to do
Prospective clients compare firms by portfolio and approach. Show projects with context, explain the process and make an inquiry specific.
Clients hire an architect for trust and judgment. Showing projects with the brief, the challenge and the result helps them understand how you think. A page that explains your process, from first meeting to permits to construction support, removes the fear of the unknown.
