The challenge

Prospective clients want to understand project types, spatial quality and the studio’s approach. A handful of thumbnails and a generic introduction leave those questions unanswered.

02 /

The approach

Lead with project imagery, organize the portfolio into residential, hospitality and workspace categories, then connect detailed project galleries to multilingual content and a clear enquiry journey.

Functional scope & business rules

Proposed requirements for the illustrated scenario, ready for a scoping discussion. Rules and integrations are agreed before implementation.

Typical workflow

1Browse project categories
2Read a project and gallery
3Send a project-linked enquiry
4Review and publish content

Architecture project records

Maintain project name, location, type, year, design scope and display order. Gallery assets hold captions, photography credits and alternative text; material without permission stays out of public versions.

Portfolio categories and detail pages

Residential, hospitality and workspace categories have direct URLs. Details combine background, design approach and grouped galleries with related projects; returning preserves the original category.

Language versions and publishing

Maintain titles, body copy, search metadata and publication state per language. Missing translations offer an explicit language choice; editors preview drafts before authorized review, publication or withdrawal.

Enquiries with project context

Carry the reference project into the enquiry form. Collect project type, location, scope, timing and contact details with required-field and duplicate-submission checks; staff follow up from an assigned record.

Image preparation and maintenance

Generate listing, detail and mobile sizes while retaining originals. Support cover crop, gallery ordering and draft preview; image or URL changes include checks on related pages and internal links.

Search presentation and usability

Configure localized titles, descriptions, canonical addresses and language relationships; update the sitemap after publishing. Keyboard galleries and reserved image dimensions are launch checks, not promises of search ranking.

A worked example

A visitor opens Cedar House from Residential and enters an enquiry after browsing the gallery. The form carries Cedar House as a reference while collecting the visitor’s own location and scope. An editor later publishes another language version without breaking existing links.

Suggested acceptance checks

Unpublished projects and translations stay out of public categories, recommendations and sitemaps.
An enquiry retains its reference project and entered text if submission fails.
Language changes retain the project identity; missing translations provide clear alternatives.

Integrations & scope decisions

Provide brand assets, publishable project information, image permissions, a domain and enquiry destinations. Copywriting, human translation and photography need separate agreement; architectural design work and online charging are not assumed.
