Architecture & Interior Design Website Design & SEO
For an architecture or interior design practice the website is the portfolio, and the portfolio is the pitch. That creates a specific tension: the work demands large, beautiful images, and large images are what make sites slow and invisible to search. Resolving that tension well is most of the job.
What Makes Architecture & Interiors Different Online
Image weight versus visibility
A practice's instinct is to show everything at full resolution. The result is a site that takes eight seconds to load, fails Core Web Vitals, and drops out of search. The fix is not fewer images — it is modern formats, correct sizing, and lazy loading, so the work looks uncompromised while weighing a fraction as much.
Beautiful sites that say nothing searchable
Minimal design often means minimal text, and a page with six images and eleven words has nothing for a search engine to rank. Project write-ups solve this — brief, constraints, materials, outcome — and they happen to be what prospective clients most want to read anyway.
Attracting the wrong enquiries
Practices routinely lose hours to enquiries far below their fee floor. Being explicit about project types, typical scale and how you work filters those out before they reach your inbox, without ever having to publish a price list.
Long, considered buying cycles
Nobody appoints an architect on a first visit. People return three or four times over months, often from different devices. The site has to be memorable and easy to come back to, which puts real weight on clarity of structure and on being findable by name later.
What We Build For Architecture & Interior Design
How Architecture & Interiors Clients Actually Search
Style and typology searches
People search "contemporary extension architect", "listed building specialist", "minimalist interior designer" far more than they search generic terms. Naming your specialisms explicitly is what makes those searches reachable.
Image search is a real channel here
Interiors and architecture attract genuine discovery traffic through image results. Descriptive filenames, alt text and surrounding captions decide whether your work appears there — and most practices leave all three empty.
Answer engines need text, not pictures
An assistant asked to recommend architects for a listed-building extension can only work from words. Practices whose pages describe their expertise in plain sentences get cited; those relying purely on imagery are invisible to that entire channel.

Architecture & Interiors Website Questions, Answered
Not visibly. Modern formats such as AVIF hold detail at a fraction of the file size, and images are served at the dimensions actually displayed. Side by side at normal viewing size the difference is imperceptible, while the page loads several times faster.
Eight to fifteen, chosen for the work you want more of rather than everything you have done. A portfolio is an argument about what you should be hired for, and every weak project dilutes it.
If your work arrives entirely through referral, it matters less. But referral has a ceiling, and it does not let you choose your projects. Search is how you reach people who do not know you and who are looking for exactly your specialism.
A structure rather than a number works well — percentage of build cost, stage fees, or a minimum project size. It filters enquiries without committing you, and it answers the question every prospect has but few ask directly.
Yes. Existing projects, images and text carry across, with redirects from the old URLs so nothing that currently ranks is lost. Migrations go wrong most often because redirects are skipped, so that mapping is done before anything goes live.
