How much does a website for a architecture firm cost?

From $4,500 one-time at Nabee Studio (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included. One scoping pass produces a fixed number — no hourly billing.

What should a architecture firm website include?

Beyond presenting the business: the workflows that remove manual work — sector-organized portfolio and scoped project inquiry — plus the integrations architecture firms actually use.

Who maintains the website after launch?

We do. The Maintenance Plan ($299/mo, included in the payment plan) covers hosting, SSL, security, backups, updates, and small content changes — you never inherit a server login you didn't ask for.

Is a template or website builder good enough instead?

Sometimes — if the site just needs to exist and you're happy doing the manual work a template can't remove. The honest comparison is in our custom vs website builder guide.

Custom website for architecture firms

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

A custom website for a architecture firm costs from $4,500 one-time at Nabee Studio, or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. Unlike a template, it's designed around how a architecture firm actually operates — removing the manual touchpoints (Presenting projects as a flat portfolio with no sector organization) that template sites force on you.

An architecture website is judged the way a portfolio is judged in an interview — quickly, and against a specific need. So we build the work first: fast, high-fidelity project pages organized by sector and scale, each carrying the brief, the site constraints, and the resolved outcome. A developer scanning for relevant typology and a homeowner imagining a custom build should both find their evidence within a click or two.

Around the work sits the practice's credibility layer — team, approach, sectors, publications — and a scoped inquiry path that lets a serious prospect start a real conversation. The site's whole purpose is to convert credibility into qualified inquiries, and to keep loading fast while carrying heavy imagery, which most firm sites fail at.

The reality for most architecture firms

Project work isn't presented for the buyer's sector

A developer wants to see relevant typology and scale; a homeowner wants to imagine their own build. A flat portfolio serves neither. Projects organized by sector, with the brief, constraints, and outcomes, let each visitor find proof you can do their kind of work.

Early inquiries have no scope or feasibility filter

Architects spend valuable early hours on projects that may never be feasible. A structured project-inquiry form capturing site, scope, budget band, and timeline lets the practice qualify before committing principal time.

Image-heavy sites are slow and hard to maintain

High-resolution project imagery makes sites crawl and go stale as new work completes. A properly built, optimized portfolio loads fast, ranks, and is easy to keep current as projects finish.

What does it cost?

One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Firms handling active client projects benefit from a logged-in area for drawings and approvals; a practice focused on winning work can start with a fast portfolio website and grow into it.

Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.
Platform — from $16,000 one-time, or $1,399/mo for 24 months with Website Update + Maintenance included.

The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
