Managed platform

When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer

On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.

What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.

What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.

See exactly what is included

Enterprise is a different process: full custom design, Figma mockups first, and a dedicated project manager from kickoff to launch. See Enterprise, from $999/mo →

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

What should an architecture firm's website portfolio include?

A strong architecture portfolio organizes projects by type (residential, commercial, renovation) with photos, project scope, square footage, and a short design narrative for each. Prospective clients use the portfolio to gauge whether your design point of view matches what they're planning, so quality and organization matter more than volume. WorkspaceCMS structures your portfolio for both browsing and search visibility, and our team adds new projects as you complete them.

How do prospective clients start a project inquiry through the site?

A dedicated inquiry form captures project type, estimated budget range, site location, and timeline, giving you the context to know whether a lead fits your studio before the first call. WorkspaceCMS builds this form directly into your site, with submissions routed to your inbox so nothing sits unanswered.

Should the design process be explained step by step?

Yes. Most prospective clients, especially first-time custom-build homeowners, don't know what working with an architect actually involves. A clear concept-to-permits-to-build explainer sets expectations, reduces early-stage questions, and builds confidence that your firm runs an organized process, which matters as much as the design work itself in a client's decision.

How important are licensure and credential displays?

Very. Architecture is a licensed profession, and clients researching firms for a major investment want to verify credentials before reaching out. Displaying state license numbers, AIA membership, and each architect's education and specialties builds the trust that turns a portfolio browse into an inquiry. WorkspaceCMS includes credential display on every architect bio page.

How do architecture firms rank locally?

Local architecture SEO is built on service-area pages, project content optimized for searches like 'residential architect [city],' a well-maintained Google Business Profile, and a fast, mobile-friendly site. WorkspaceCMS handles all of this from the platform level. Every site is built to a 90+ Lighthouse target (typical builds clear it; specific scores vary by content and integrations) and structured with code that helps Google understand your business.

How fast does the site launch?

Most architecture firm websites launch within a few business days of onboarding. We gather your project portfolio, architect bios, licensure information, and design philosophy during a structured intake, then build, optimize, and launch. Ongoing updates, including new projects and press features, are handled by our team with a 48-hour turnaround.
