If you can have a way of connecting with them, establishing that relationship, then you can continue that conversation as they are going through that decision-making process.

Whether you\u2019re just one individual or a team of twenty, make sure to include a high-resolution photo and few lines about yourself. People buy people, not projects. Your website can be a great way to make a connection with a potential client right off the bat, so don\u2019t be afraid to get personal with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Architects should also have their contact info readily available on their website. With nearly 60 percent of search traffic coming from mobile search, it is imperative that architects list a phone number on their websites so that a contractor or potential client out on a site can reach them easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another crucial part of a standout website is the copy. Well-written copy can go a long way in attracting the right kind of client to your site. It can also help tremendously with where you rank on search engines, making it an absolute priority for architects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lastly, consider adding some videos. Video is a powerful tool to communicate project case studies and testimonials while also showing some of the processes that go into projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cArchitects think it\u2019s all about the portfolio, but when clients are looking at a bunch of different firms, they get portfolio (or photo) fatigue,\u201d Bryon said. \u201cVideo that can tell a story, and take you through the process and communicate what you do and how that serves the needs of the clients, that is extremely powerful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><i>This post first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archibiz.com.au\/resources\/creating-website-architects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Archibiz<\/a>. <\/i>Want to learn more about marketing for architects?
