Web and marketing for architecture firms

Web Design for Architects in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico

Websites built exclusively for architects: as effective as they are attractive, and raised on real photography of your own work.

If you are an architect in Puerto Vallarta and you want to take your practice further on the digital side, you are in the right place. We specialise in websites made to measure for architecture studios, designed to be as effective as they are attractive.

There is a reason a photography agency also builds websites: in architecture, the two problems are the same one. An online portfolio does not fail because of the design, it fails because of the images. And because we produce the photographs, the site is never built on stock imagery or recycled renders, but on professional photography of your completed projects.

Bespoke website development

We create a distinctive online experience that captures the essence of your brand and reaches a wider audience. We work closely with you to understand your goals and design a site adapted specifically to your practice, combining design judgement with the right technology.

The essentials

What an architect’s website must have

Six things we check on every firm’s site before proposing anything. If yours ticks four or fewer, that is the reason enquiries are not coming in.

✔︎

One page per project

With professional photography, technical sheet, location, year and the type of client it was built for. It is what Google indexes and what the prospect shares.

✔︎

Clear services and cities

A page for each service — residential, commercial, interiors, renovation — and for each city you work in, so you show up in local searches.

✔︎

Spanish and English

Half of the clients who build in Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit or Los Cabos search in English. A site in one language leaves them to the competition.

✔︎

Loads in under three seconds

Architecture sites are heavy by nature. Optimised images, no unnecessary plugins and hosting that holds up during a campaign.

✔︎

Contact within reach

WhatsApp, form and phone visible on every page, with a thank-you page that lets you measure where each enquiry came from.

✔︎

Owned by the firm

Domain, hosting and site registered in your name, with credentials handed over from day one.

Architectural portfolio

Our work does not stop at the site. We solve the portfolio too: specialist architectural photography and aerial drone coverage, so every project is presented at the level it cost to build.

Search positioning and SEO for architects

A beautiful site nobody finds is worth nothing. We make sure the navigation is intuitive and the essential information is within reach, and we apply solid SEO practice so your firm shows up in Google results and generates enquiries consistently.

Why it works

How we work

From the call to launch in four steps

Between 4 and 8 weeks depending on the number of projects and whether the photography has to be produced first. The order never changes.

Brief and structure

A 20-minute call: which projects go in, which services and cities you want to rank for, and which language comes first. You get the site map and a fixed quote in writing.

Photography

We schedule the shoot of the projects that still need it. It goes first because it sets the timeline for everything else.

Design and build

Bespoke design on your photography, copy written for SEO in Spanish and English, and a review round with you before launch.

Launch and maintenance

Domain, hosting, Google Search Console and Business Profile set up. Monthly maintenance and positioning are contracted separately.

Five mistakes we see on firms’ websites

A portfolio of renders. A render sells a project that does not exist; photography of the finished building sells the one you actually built, and clients notice the difference.
A single “Projects” page with forty thumbnails. Google cannot rank forty projects on one URL, and the visitor does not look at them either.
No city or service pages. If your site never says “architect in Puerto Vallarta” in a title, you will not show up when someone searches for it.
Unoptimised 8 MB photos. The site takes ten seconds to load on a phone and half the visitors leave before seeing the first project.
Contact hidden on a single page. The prospect decides on the project page, not on the contact page: WhatsApp has to be right there.

Web design by industry

We also design websites for hotels, villas, Airbnb and interior design

The same base — our own photography, two languages, SEO as standard and client ownership — adapted to how each industry sells: direct bookings for hotels and vacation rentals, a per-project portfolio for interior design.

🏨

Direct bookings, integrated engine, bilingual and built on professional photography of your rooms.

🌴

Websites for Villas

Commission-free direct bookings, synced calendar and photography that justifies the nightly rate.

🔑

Websites for Airbnb Hosts

Your own host site: synced calendar, commission-free direct bookings and professional photography.

🛋️

Websites for Interior Designers

A portfolio with one page per project, bilingual, with SEO and built on professional interior photography.

Pricing 2026

How we quote a website

Web design is the only one of our services without a published rate card, and that is deliberate: the scope changes too much between a five-project portfolio and a site with a blog, an English version and live campaigns. We quote to measure after a short call, at a fixed price and in writing.

The budget is set by the number of projects to publish, the languages, whether the photography still has to be produced, and whether monthly maintenance is included.
The architectural photography that feeds the site does have published prices: from $10,000 per session. Booking it together with the site usually works out better than separately.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about web design for architects

How much does a website for an architecture firm cost?

We do not publish a rate card for web because the scope varies too much: a five-project portfolio is not the same job as a site with a blog, an English version and live campaigns. We quote to measure after a 20-minute call. Our photography services do have published prices in the 2026 price list.

Can I hire the website without the photography?

Yes, although we usually advise otherwise. An architecture portfolio lives on its images: if the photos are phone snaps or old renders, no amount of design compensates. If you already have good photographic material, we work with it happily.

How long does development take?

Between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on how many projects go in and whether the photography has to be produced first. The shoot is scheduled at the very start, because it sets the timeline for everything else.

Is the site registered in my name?

Yes. The domain is registered to the firm and you keep the credentials. We manage hosting and maintenance while the service is active, but ownership of the site and its content is yours from day one.

Does it include Google positioning?

The site is delivered with its technical and content foundations optimised. Sustained positioning is ongoing work — content, links, reviews — contracted separately as a monthly service.

Do you work with architects outside Puerto Vallarta?

Yes. The web side is handled remotely with any firm in the country; what has to be scheduled in person is the photo shoot, and for that we cover Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara and the Bajío, plus the rest of the country with travel costs.

Is a bespoke site better than a template on Wix or Squarespace?

For a firm that only needs a business card, a template is enough. For a firm that wants to be found — “architect in Puerto Vallarta”, “beach house design in Punta Mita” — it is not: templates load slowly with heavy photography, do not handle two languages well and give no control over the structure Google reads. That is what a bespoke site solves.

Does the site come in Spanish and English?

Yes, when the firm needs it — and on the coast it almost always does. Each language gets its own URLs, translated copy written for search (not machine-translated) and the hreflang tags that tell Google which version to show to whom.

What happens to my current site and domain?

You keep both. The domain simply points to the new site when it launches, and we set up redirects from the old URLs so nothing you had positioned is lost. If the old photos are worth keeping, they are migrated too.

How many projects should I publish?

Between six and twelve well-photographed projects work better than forty with weak images. We choose them together by the type of client you want to attract: it is better to show three beach houses if that is what you want to sell than every project you have ever built.
