HallebardierIndustries › Architects and real estate

A website for your architecture practice or agency, where the work speaks before the text.

A client chooses an architect on what they have built. A buyer chooses an agency on what it sells and how it shows it. In both cases, the site is a portfolio that has to load fast, read on a phone and make people want to call.

What an architect’s or agency’s client is looking for

For an architect: completed projects, with large photos, the programme, the place, the year, and a page explaining how the practice works and at what stage it can be contacted. For an estate agent: the properties, the area, the team, and a simple way to get a valuation or sell.

In both cases, the client is often international, and compares with sites from London, Paris or Milan. Yours has to be restrained, fast, and exist in English.

The pages that matter

01The homepage

Three projects or three properties, the name, the city, a contact button. Nothing else.

02Projects or properties

One page per project, large compressed photos, two paragraphs, the facts. For an agency, a list filterable by place and type.

03The practice or the agency

The people, the history in five lines, the awards, the languages.

04How we work

For an architect: the phases, what the client decides when, how fees are calculated. For an agency: the sales method, the commission.

05Valuation or contact

A short form, a direct line. For an agency, a valuation page that leads to a call.

06Languages

French, English, German depending on your clients. Visible includes two languages.

What I see on architects’ and agencies’ websites

Beautiful sites that take fifteen seconds to load on a phone, portfolios in Flash or an abandoned plugin, agencies with properties sold two years ago still online, and forms that go nowhere. The work behind is often remarkable; the site hides it.

The Visible package, at CHF 5,800, suits most practices and agencies: fourteen pages, two languages, a landing page for a type of project or property, integration with your tools. Conquête adds the third language and the contact database for an agency following buyers over several months.

Questions

Can the site show our properties automatically?

Depending on your management software. In Visible and Conquête, integration with your tools is included; we see on the first call what your system allows.

Are photos included?

You supply the photos; I compress and lay them out. An architectural photographer remains a practice’s best investment, and I will tell you so.

Can the site exist in English?

Yes. Visible includes two languages, Conquête three. Each version is written.
