Purpose

Prove the ceiling. Show that the SAME method (design brain, 3 references, 5-block prompt, polish passes) plus motion produces something that looks like a $10K agency site.

Who it is for

A boutique architecture studio with strong visuals. The premium tier a student can sell, not the bar for a plumber.

Essential features, and why

  • Selected sample projects, because the work should establish the visual direction.
  • A project index, because visitors need to explore the portfolio.
  • An Alder house case study with a plan drawing, because a project needs more than a hero image.
  • Studio approach and services, because a prospective client needs to understand the practice.
  • A project-inquiry form, because the next step is a conversation about a commission.
  • One hero motion moment, because the ceiling still needs a controlled motion budget.

Add if you want more

  • A real project archive with approved photographs.
  • A wired project-inquiry form.
  • Approved team biographies and recognition entries.

Get found (SEO and AI search)

  • Organization or ProfessionalService schema for the studio.
  • CreativeWork schema on the project page.
  • llms.txt with services, project context, and the next step. No invented fees.

Secure and mobile

  • Reduced-motion respected.
  • HTTPS and security headers, plus a privacy page.
  • The 375px check and a clear start-a-project action.
