Architecture firm marketing, portfolio first

Architecture firm marketing that shows built work and screens inquiries by project type and budget.

How we'd work for architects

Architecture firm marketing for a decision that takes a year

Website

Projects lead the site, each with photos, drawings and a short brief, and the inquiry form asks scope, site and budget range before a call.

    A Houzz profile that matches your portfolio

    Your Houzz projects use the photos and project names from your site, so a homeowner who finds you there sees the same built work.

The first 90 days

  1. Weeks 1 to 3

    We choose the eight to ten projects that show the work you want more of, and gather their photos and drawings.

  2. Weeks 4 to 7

    Project pages and the inquiry form go live, the form asking scope, site and budget range.

  3. Weeks 8 to 13

    Your Houzz profile and the first journal article follow, and each inquiry reaches the board by project type.

Questions

What architects ask us

How do you screen out projects too small for us?

The inquiry form asks scope and budget range. Inquiries below your minimum get a polite reply and the design-build firms you suggest.

Can we show projects from a former firm?

Only with clear credit to the firm of record and your role on the project, written the way you and that firm agree.

Is Houzz worth it for an architecture firm?

For residential work it often is, since homeowners browse it while planning. We start with the free profile and test paid placement only if you choose.

Can you photograph our finished projects?

We can arrange architectural photography once a project is finished, with the owner's permission for each image we publish.

What's different

Owners plan for a year before they call an architect

Owners save photos for months while the lot or the budget gets settled. Your Houzz projects and journal articles are what they read in that time.
