Web design for architecture firms.Built by a studio that gets it.
Two of our three case studies are architecture-adjacent. We know what an architecture firm's website actually has to do — render a dense visual portfolio at speed, communicate the rigour of a practice in a few seconds of scroll, and convert serious enquiries without feeling like a brochure. We build for that.
An architecture firm's website is mostly photographs.
That sentence sounds obvious until you look at how most architect sites are actually built. Generic page-builder themes treat a twenty-image project case study the same as a ten-line blog post and ship the lot uncompressed. The result is a heavy, slow site that punishes the very work it is supposed to showcase — clients close the tab before the renders have even finished decoding.
We build differently. Every project page is treated as a media problem first: responsive image sets, modern formats like AVIF and WebP, lazy loading below the fold, and a content layout that gives each render and plan enough room to breathe. The architecture comes through; the page weight stays under control.
On top of that core, we layer the things an architecture practice actually needs from a website — a structured portfolio you can update yourself, project case studies with proper narrative sections, a press and awards area, a serious enquiry form for new commissions, and a CMS that does not require us to come back for every text change.
Synopsis Architecture, rebuilt from the ground up.
Synopsis Architecture came to us on a Wix site that was, in fairness, doing its job — until it was not. The portfolio had outgrown what a drag-and-drop builder could express, and the load times on the typical site of that era were dragging the practice's online credibility down with them.
We rebuilt the site as a hand-coded React application, pre-rendered to static HTML and served from a CDN. The typographic system was redesigned from scratch to match the practice's printed material, and the project case studies were re-authored as proper narrative pages rather than image dumps.
The performance gap before and after the migration is the kind of number that does the selling for us — see the comparison on the right.

Lighthouse Performance score range we target on the rebuilt Synopsis site, with hero imagery loading in under 1.5 seconds on a typical 4G connection — down from roughly 4–6 seconds on the previous Wix version.
AVEDGE Studio, motion-led.
AVEDGE is an architectural visualisation studio whose work lives and dies on motion. A static gallery of stills would have undersold the practice; a heavy autoplay reel on every section would have killed the page on mobile. We built a scroll-driven site that runs a curated showreel as background video on the sections where it earns its weight, and falls back to a poster image everywhere else.
The video pipeline uses modern codecs, adaptive sizing and preload hints tuned to the viewport so the studio's work lands with impact without taxing the network — the kind of detail that separates a built-by-an-architect website from a templated one.
