You’ve spent years designing great buildings. Now you’re opening your own studio, and that’s something to celebrate.

At a big firm, a whole team handled the website, the photography, and the proposals. On your own, those pieces are yours to shape, and you get to build a brand that reflects exactly who you are.

We admire and relate to those who have chosen to work for themselves. Nine years into running our own business, we’re glad we did. We bet on ourselves and chose family and lifestyle over a bigger paycheck.

Working for ourselves means we can offer clients exactly what they need, not what a company wants to sell. And we only take on work we fully believe in. So when we say we love what we do, we hope you’ll feel the same about your new practice.

We’ve spent years building websites and marketing for small and mid-size architecture firms. Here’s how we help new studios get started.

Look established from day one

Your studio is new, but your experience runs deep. The right website makes that clear while your own portfolio grows.

Lead with your expertise. Years of experience, project types and scale you’ve led, and your design point of view show prospects they’re in experienced hands.

Show a full, confident offering. Clear service pages for what you do, from feasibility and design through construction administration, help clients understand exactly how you can help them.

Build a portfolio that grows with you. We combine credited past work, renderings, in-progress projects, and your process into a portfolio that already feels substantial. As your own projects are photographed, they slot right in.

Be ready when referrals look you up. Your network will send the first clients. A polished site confirms they made the right call.

How we help you launch

You’ll work directly with us, Jerry and Lisa, from start to finish. Every site is designed just for you, with clear, upfront pricing.

A brand that’s all yours. We start with brand identity: name and logo direction, color, type, and a clear statement of what kind of work you want to do. If you’re moving from large institutional projects to custom homes, your brand can say so from day one.

A website built for architects. Architecture is a visual business, so your site needs large, fast-loading imagery, clean project pages, and room to grow. We design portfolio sites that make you excited to share your link, and we build them so you can add new projects as they’re photographed.

A portfolio you’re proud to share. We help you write project pages that credit the firm of record and spell out your role, such as “Project Architect at [Firm].” We’ll mix those with renderings, early independent work, and your design approach so your site feels full and confident while your own projects take shape.

Copy that tells your story. You focus on design, and we’ll handle the words. We write your About page, services, and project descriptions in plain language your future clients will understand.

Getting found

Next, we help the right clients find you. We set up the foundations that grow your visibility month by month.

• Local SEO: pages and titles written around what clients search for, like “residential architect in [your city].”

• Google Business Profile: set up and optimized, so you show up on Maps and in local results.

• AI search visibility (GEO): clear, answer-first content so tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews can understand and recommend your studio.

• Accessibility: clean structure, alt text, and an accessibility statement, so your site welcomes every visitor.

• Search ads, when they make sense: we’ll help you decide whether a small Google Ads budget is a good fit for your market.

What working together looks like

Our process is simple, and you always know what comes next.

1. Discover. We talk about the work you want to do, who your ideal clients are, and what you can show today.

2. Propose. You get a proposal with options and a total cost. No hourly billing, no long-term contracts.

3. Design & Build. We create your brand, write your copy, and design and build your site, with your input at each step.

4. Launch & Grow. We launch, set up search and analytics, and stay on as your web partner to add projects and keep things current.

You can start small and grow at your own pace. Many new studios start with brand and website, then add SEO and ads once the first projects are photographed.

Have a project in mind? Let’s talk. Schedule a call whenever you’re ready. We’d love to hear about the studio you’re building.
