Portfolio with context
Organise projects by building type, discipline or stage. Give each project a page that explains the brief, your role and the decisions behind the design.
Web design for architects and creatives
Custom websites for architecture practices and creative businesses
Devife designs and builds websites for established architecture practices and creative businesses. We organise projects by type or expertise, give photography and drawings room, and help visitors get in touch about projects that fit your practice.
Partnerships
Our awesome clients
The challenge
Your website should persuade without shouting
Prospective clients do not choose on imagery alone. They need confidence in your perspective, process and ability to deliver complex work.
We bring portfolio, positioning and conversion together in a calm digital experience. Visitors receive enough direction to understand your work and take a serious next step.
Built around your practice
Strategic clarity, delivered with design refinement
Clear positioning
Structure and copy clarify who you work with, where you excel and why that expertise matters.
Understated conversion
Show visitors the kinds of commissions you take on and give them a clear way to share their project type and timeline.
Editorial freedom
A flexible CMS gives your team control over projects and insights without compromising the design.
Technical quality
Fast pages, strong accessibility and solid SEO foundations are built in from the start.
Room to grow
The website can evolve with new disciplines, markets, projects and ambitions.
Our approach
From positioning to digital experience
We begin with the commercial and creative context. Only then do we determine how the website should look.
- 1
Strategy and positioning
We examine your ideal clients, differentiation and the role the website should play in your growth.
- 2
Information architecture
We structure projects, expertise and proof around the questions serious clients need answered.
- 3
Design and content direction
We plan the image sequence for each project, from the opening photograph to drawings and detail shots, with captions and layouts that also work on mobile.
- 4
Development and optimization
We build the platform from scratch, test the experience and refine performance and conversion paths.
Examples of presenting visual work and guiding enquiries
See how Devife brought a Hague art gallery’s work and atmosphere online, and how the REM Zonwering redesign clarified the route from project photography and services to a quote request.
Under the Cherry Tree - Web design
To reflect this experience online, we designed and developed a website that translates the atmosphere of the gallery into a digital experience.
