    What an architecture firm website has to do

    Visitors judge the firm in seconds by its images, then look for the building type they need, who is on the team and whether the firm has done work like theirs. The site has to convert to consultation requests, RFP submissions and recruiting interest. What usually breaks is a full-screen gallery that loads slowly, project pages with a title and no text, a team page with no credentials, a contact form that treats a homeowner and a developer the same and a qualifications package that is hard to find.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    Built on the Right Platform

    WordPress fits most architecture firms because project pages, filters and image handling are easy to manage and staff can add new work without a developer. A very small studio with a short portfolio can use Wix, and larger firms with a complex project database sometimes need a custom build.

    WordPress

    Content-heavy sites, service businesses and anything that needs to be easy for your team to edit.

    Shopify

    Product catalogs, checkout and inventory for brands that sell online.

    Wix

    Smaller sites that need to launch fast on a managed platform.

    Drupal

    Larger organizations with complex permissions, content workflows and integrations.

    Custom

    Portals, calculators, booking flows and applications that no template handles well.

    Built to Rank From Day One

    Most redesigns lose rankings because the new site launches without the redirects, page structure and technical setup the old one had earned. Skyfield builds every website for architecture firms the way we would want to inherit it as your SEO team, because we are your SEO team.

    The site launches with clean URL structure, schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, tracking in GA4 and Search Console, and content written for the searches your customers make on Google and inside AI assistants.

    Website Questions From Architecture Firms

    Skyfield quotes per project based on portfolio size, markets and features like filters and RFP intake. Most firm sites take six to ten weeks, and much of that time goes to project write-ups and image preparation.

    We keep or redirect every project, service and team URL that earns traffic, carry over titles and content that work, preserve image names and alt text where possible and watch Search Console after launch.

    Yes. We connect inquiry forms to HubSpot or the CRM you use, including AEC systems like Deltek Vantagepoint where it supports inbound leads, and add Calendly or Acuity for consultations.

    You do. The domain, design, content and all project photography belong to your firm, everything is registered in your name, and you get full admin access. The site is built so your staff can add projects and posts themselves.

    The site launches with project, market and team structure, schema and local SEO fundamentals. Ongoing rankings, project write-ups, press and AI visibility come through our SEO and GEO plans, which we recommend starting at launch.
