WordPress Websites That Showcase Architectural Excellence
We build architect websites with stunning project portfolios, RIBA credentials, and clear service pages that attract the right commissions.
Your portfolio deserves a website that does it justice
Architecture is visual. Your website needs to show your work at its absolute best. We build WordPress sites for architects that put your projects front and centre with full-screen imagery, detailed case studies, and the kind of presentation that wins commissions. We've worked with RIBA Chartered practices, small studios, and sole practitioners across the UK.
Beyond the portfolio, your website needs to explain your process, display your RIBA credentials, and make it easy for potential clients to start a conversation. We build sites with project filtering by type and sector, team pages that highlight qualifications, and enquiry forms that capture enough detail to assess whether a project is right for your practice.
Every project is led by Mark McNeece, founder of Press Forge and 365i.

Works With Your Tools
We connect your WordPress site with the platforms that matter to your business.
What I'd Build First for an Architect, and Why
First build: project case studies that include the planning story: what the constraints were, what was approved, how long it took. Homeowners considering an extension search planning questions long before they search for an architect, and a case study that answers "will I get permission for this?" captures them at the research stage, months before your competitors meet them.
What I'd reject: the wordless portfolio site. Architects love them, and they're invisible to search because there's nothing to index and nothing for a non-architect to grab hold of. The photography can stay exactly as beautiful; it needs a few hundred honest words beside it about the brief, the budget band, and the problem solved.
The rules your website has to respect
- Architects Registration Board: "architect" is a protected title; linking your ARB registration proves you're entitled to it, which unregistered "architectural designers" can't do
- RIBA membership: chartered practice status carries weight with planning-literate clients; link the practice listing
- Planning Portal: referencing the official guidance in your content shows clients you work with the system daily
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WordPress websites for architects
Your website is your online portfolio. Potential clients, developers, and contractors will look at your site before reaching out. A dated website or one that doesn't show your work properly means lost commissions. First impressions count in architecture.
Architect websites typically cost between £3,000 and £6,000 depending on the size of your portfolio and the features you need. We provide a fixed quote based on your requirements. Most practices need around ten to fifteen pages plus a project gallery.
Yes. We build portfolio systems where visitors can filter projects by type (residential, commercial, education), status (completed, in progress), and scale. This helps potential clients find relevant examples of your work quickly.
We'll work with the project photography you have. If you need professional architectural photography, we can recommend specialists. We optimise every image for fast loading without losing the quality your work demands.
Absolutely. WordPress makes it simple to add new projects, upload images, and update case study text. We'll train your team and provide documentation. Most architects manage their own portfolio updates within the first week.
That's what we build for. By showcasing specific project types and sectors, your site attracts enquiries from clients looking for exactly what you do best. If you specialise in residential extensions, you won't get enquiries for industrial warehouses.
