Industries · Architects and interior designers
When someone plans a new home, an extension or a fit-out, they ask Google or ChatGPT who to call and get a short list of names. We design and build portfolio websites from scratch, then work to get your practice onto that list.
Talk to usWhat has changed
Someone planning a loft conversion asks ChatGPT for “the best residential architects in north London”. The answer names a few practices and stops. If yours is not one of them, they never see your work.
AI tools build those answers from what they can find and trust about you: your project pages, your services, your press and what the rest of the web says about you. Most portfolio sites are beautiful but say very little in words, so there is not much for AI tools to go on.

Read the Lark Design Studio case studyWhat’s included
Large, fast-loading photography and a quiet design that gets out of the way. Designed from a blank page around your practice.
We make sure ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI answers can read what your pictures cannot say: the kind of work you do, where and for whom. Then we work to get your practice named when people ask.
Each project gets its own page with the words behind the pictures: the brief, the place and the kind of work. That is what people and AI tools search for.
Clear pages for your services and how a project runs, from first sketches to completion, so clients know what to expect before they call.
A short enquiry form, a way to book a first consultation, and click-to-call and email on every page.
A clear home for your ARB registration, RIBA Chartered Practice status or BIID membership, plus your awards and press.
Our work for Lark Design Studio shows what a new website and search work can do together, and the same approach suits a sole practitioner or a larger studio. Send us a few lines and someone senior replies within one working day with honest first thoughts.
