Architect portfolio website template
A good architect portfolio website template should help a studio show built work clearly, explain its process, and make it easy for the right clients to get in touch. For most firms, the site needs to support one main action: a serious inquiry for a project, consultation, or studio visit. The template below builds a real, editable site in one click with Moremade, so you can preview it, change the copy and layout by chat, and export the code if you want.
What visitors want from an architecture studio site
Most visitors are trying to answer a few practical questions quickly.
- What kind of projects does this studio do
- Is the work relevant to my budget, scale, or building type
- Who leads the practice and what is the process like
- How do I get in touch and what happens next
That means the site should show finished projects early, with enough detail to judge the work properly. A homepage full of abstract statements is less useful than a clear list of project types, locations, scope, and strong images.
For architecture in particular, credibility often comes from restraint and clarity. Clean navigation, readable project pages, and concise descriptions usually work better than dense marketing copy.
Pages and sections to include
A solid architecture studio site usually needs a small set of pages, each doing a specific job.
- Home: short positioning statement, selected projects, practice overview, inquiry call to action
- Projects: filterable or grouped portfolio by residential, commercial, interiors, hospitality, or public work
- Project detail pages: photos, drawings if appropriate, location, size, completion year, services, a short design summary
- About: studio story, principal or team bios, approach, collaborators, awards or press if relevant
- Process or Services: feasibility, concept design, planning, interiors, project delivery, consultation
- Contact: inquiry form, email, phone, studio address, map, and expected response time
If the studio has a distinct specialism, add a focused landing section for it. For example, townhouse renovations, workplace fit-outs, or coastal homes. That can improve clarity for the right kind of client.
Copy and photography tips for this kind of business
Architecture sites live or die on image quality and project framing. Use fewer, better images rather than long galleries filled with near-duplicates.
For each project, include the details that clients and collaborators actually scan for:
- project type
- location
- floor area or scale
- status or completion year
- services provided
- one short paragraph on the design problem and response
Keep copy concrete. Instead of broad claims, describe constraints, brief, materials, planning context, light, circulation, sustainability decisions, or how an existing structure was adapted.
Photography should be consistent in tone and size. Include wide shots, key interior views, and one or two detail images. If drawings, plans, or models help explain the work, include them selectively. Make sure every image has useful alt text for accessibility and search.
Features worth adding
The right features depend on how the studio works, but a few are commonly useful.
- Inquiry form: collect project type, location, timeline, budget range, and a short brief
- Map: useful if you want studio visits or local credibility
- Email integration: send inquiries through Resend or SendGrid
- Payments: if you offer paid consultations, discovery calls, or deposit-based services, Stripe checkout can be added with prices you set
- Database and file handling: Supabase can support sign-in, saved inquiries, or file uploads for client materials
If the studio offers early-stage advisory sessions, a simple consultation flow can work well: service explanation, fixed fee, payment, then inquiry details. If not, keep the primary action focused on contact rather than trying to force online booking where it does not fit.
How to launch it with Moremade
With Moremade, you start by describing the site in plain language. An AI agent generates the website as real React and Tailwind code, and you can review it in a live preview.
From there, you can change the site by chatting. You can also use the visual inspector to click an element and edit it, or open the code view if you want to work more directly. Version history is available on paid plans.
When the site is ready, publish it in one click to a free yourname.moremade.ai subdomain. Paid plans can connect a custom domain, and domains can also be bought inside Moremade. At any time, you can export the full source as a ZIP or push it to GitHub.
Checklist before you go live
Before publishing, check the basics.
- Replace all placeholder project names, dates, and locations
- Make sure contact details are correct on every page
- Test the inquiry form and email delivery
- Compress images so project pages load reasonably fast
- Write page titles and meta descriptions for home, projects, and contact pages
- Add alt text to project images
- Check mobile spacing, image cropping, and navigation
- Review the custom domain setup if you are using one
- Confirm Stripe prices and checkout links if you are taking payments
For SEO basics, each project page should have a clear title, a short descriptive intro, and readable URLs. Avoid putting key project information only inside images.
Questions
How much would it cost to build and run this site with Moremade?
Moremade has a free plan at $0 with 10 Build Units every 30 days, publishing to a moremade.ai subdomain, and ZIP export. Usage is measured in Build Units; a first site build costs about 8 units and a small edit about 1. Paid plans start at Standard: $17/month billed yearly, or $20 monthly, with 100 Build Units every 30 days, custom domain support, private project hosting, and version history.
Can I use my own domain for the architecture studio site?
Yes. You can publish in one click to a free `yourname.moremade.ai` subdomain first. On paid plans, you can connect a custom domain. Domains can also be bought inside Moremade.
Can I edit the site myself later?
Yes. You can change the site by chatting, use the visual inspector to point at an element and edit it, or work in code view. The site is generated as real React + Tailwind code, and you can export the full source as a ZIP or push it to GitHub.
Is this suitable for basic SEO?
Yes, if you structure the content properly. For an architecture studio, that usually means clear project pages, descriptive page titles, concise metadata, readable headings, alt text on images, and contact information that is easy to find. Moremade gives you an editable site, so you can refine copy and page structure after the first build.
Can I add consultations or take payments on the site?
Yes, if that matches how your studio sells. Moremade has a built-in Stripe connector for checkout with prices you set. That can work for paid consultations, discovery sessions, or deposits. For general project inquiries, a contact form is usually the better main action.
