Web design for Architects
Architectural practices in the UK operate in a highly visual, competitive environment — from bespoke residential homes to large-scale commercial projects. Your website must do more than display drawings; it has to showcase expertise, win trust, and generate enquiries from developers, investors, and private clients.
At Construction Web Design UK, we create architect websites that elevate portfolios, attract the right clients, and present your practice with clarity and professionalism.
Services We Provide for Architects

The Challenges Architects Face
Architectural practices face unique digital challenges. Competition is fierce — without a professional website, rivals appear more established. Investor and client trust must be earned quickly through polished presentations. Managing large portfolios online requires scalable platforms, while homeowners expect instant access to prices, timelines, and design details. Without SEO, your practice risks being invisible in searches. And outdated websites damage credibility, no matter how strong your projects are.
Extra Ways We Help Architects
At Construction Web Design UK, we go beyond standard sites. We create interactive portfolios with 3D tours, BIM integration, and downloadable drawings to showcase work in depth. We add progress timelines and project milestone features to engage clients and investors. Secure investor portals allow sharing of private documents. We build consultation booking systems and automated enquiry tools to save time. Finally, we reinforce credibility with testimonials, accreditations, and award displays.
Website design platforms we utilise

The industry standard for scalable, professional websites. WordPress is SEO-friendly, highly customisable, and perfect for architects with large portfolios, extensive case studies, or firms that need long-term growth and flexibility.
Wix
A cost-effective solution for smaller practices and independent architects. Wix offers stylish templates, quick set-up, and easy content management, making it ideal for studios that want a professional website on a budget without technical complexity.
Squarespace
Known for its sleek, design-focused templates, Squarespace is an excellent choice for architecture firms that prioritise clean, visual portfolios. It’s particularly effective for showcasing high-quality imagery and minimalist branding.
