For Architects

A portfolio site that matches the work.

Describe your practice or paste your current site. Zortal generates an editable website so project images and services land in a clean layout — ready to refine and publish.

Sound Familiar?

1

Your best work is trapped in PDFs and Drive links

Clients cannot browse a coherent portfolio on their phone. They judge the firm by whatever folder you last emailed.

2

The site never keeps up with completed projects

By the time a developer updates the gallery, you have three new projects sitting on a hard disk.

3

Enquiries lack brief context

“Interested in a villa” with no plot, city, or budget. A form on the site asks once, properly.

What to put on your website

The sections that matter most for architects & designers, and why.

Project Gallery

High-quality images of completed projects with descriptions.

Why it matters: Architecture is visual. A strong gallery is your most powerful sales tool.

Services

Residential, commercial, interior design, landscape — your range of services.

Why it matters: Different clients need different services. Help them find what they need quickly.

Design Philosophy

Your approach, influences, and what sets your practice apart.

Why it matters: Clients choose architects whose vision aligns with theirs. This section helps them connect.

Awards & Recognition

Awards, publications, and notable projects.

Why it matters: External validation builds credibility and justifies premium positioning.

Tips for your content

1

Use your best project photos, and invest in professional photography if you need to.

2

Write a short description for each project: location, area, concept and the problem it solved.

3

Keep the design minimal so your projects, not the website, are the focus.

4

Add a blog for design ideas and project stories, so people searching for inspiration can find you.
