The challenge
Design studios tend to have a lot of visual work and little time to organise it online. Portfolios often turn into one long gallery, which makes it hard for a visitor to find the type of project they have in mind.
Studio sites can also leave visitors unsure what happens next. If the working process is unexplained and contact details are hard to find, a potential client may simply leave.
An unsorted gallery makes visitors scroll past a lot of work that doesn't apply to them.
People commissioning design work want to know the steps before they make contact.
A blank contact form tells a studio little about what the person actually wants.
The solution
Projects sit in three main categories, and the Architecture category divides further into types such as bungalows, highrise, commercial and farmhouse.
The home page moves from an opening statement to featured work, areas of expertise, a five-step approach and client quotes, ending with the studio's contact details.
The contact page has an enquiry form that asks for a project type, with options from residential architecture to heritage restoration, alongside the office address.
Key features
Home page visitors can filter the featured projects by category, then open the full archive when they want to see more.

We created the JB Architects website, not any of the studio's architecture or interior work. The site includes a home page with featured projects, an about page with a timeline of the studio, a project archive sorted by category, and a contact page with an enquiry form.
It works in layers. Visitors start from three main categories, then move into project types. Architecture, for example, splits into types such as bungalows, highrise, commercial, township and farmhouse. The home page adds a filter for featured work, so people can narrow the selection before opening the full archive.
They can use the enquiry form on the contact page, which asks them to select a project type such as residential architecture, commercial or heritage restoration. The studio's office address, email and phone number also appear on that page and in the footer across the whole site.
If your portfolio has outgrown a single gallery, we can help you organise it into a website that makes it easy for clients to find the right work.
