Walkable demoArchitecture practice
For practices whose work is won by showing projects — and who have nowhere that shows them properly.
The trigger
Why it usually gets rebuilt
Clients compare three practices before they call one. Recent projects sit on the server as renders and plan extracts, but there is no address to point anyone to — so a PDF brochure gets emailed and nobody opens it.
Typical pages
- Home
- Projects
- Individual project pages with drawings
- Services by work stage
- Working with existing buildings
- Practice and team
- Competitions and publications
- Contact and applications
Features
What actually makes the difference
Not every website needs everything. These are the points that genuinely count in this trade.
Project gallery with drawings
Not just the finished photograph: floor plan, section and site plan alongside, zoomable. Clients who read plans decide on them — and fellow professionals certainly do.
Filter by use and work stage
Housing, commercial, education, existing fabric; plus whether the practice took it to design or through to site supervision. A local authority looks for something different from a private client.
Project data sheet
Gross floor area, construction period, completion, consultants involved, client anonymized on request. The details needed again in every submission and every competition entry — maintained once.
Applications with a portfolio
Architecture applications arrive as large files. An upload into the tens of megabytes without a detour via a file service, and an acknowledgement that names a person.
Competitions and publications
A maintained list with year, organiser and result. This is the part journalists and selection panels open first — and the part that is always out of date in a PDF brochure.
Automation
What can run by itself
First inquiry with preliminary questions
Before the first meeting the client answers four questions: site secured, intended use, timescale, rough budget. The conversation then starts at a different level.
Applications filed and acknowledged
Incoming portfolios land structured in the archive; the applicant gets an immediate acknowledgement with a realistic timescale.
Client approval before publication
Ahead of publishing a project, a request with the intended images and details goes to the client, who approves digitally or excludes individual items. The approval is recorded.
Competition deadlines tracked
Submission dates run as staged reminders. What already sits in individual calendars is held in one place.
Notice on completion
When a project is published, a short note goes to the list of clients, consultants and press. Not a newsletter with an editorial plan — one occasion, one image, one link.
Integrations
Types of system typically connected — which product exactly is something we work out in the call.
- Drawing and document storage from CAD or BIM
- Project management and task tracking
- Image and media library
- Applicant tracking
- Mailing list and dispatch system
Budget
$7,700 – $15,400
Effort rises with the number of projects and the care taken over the drawings: every plan has to be prepared for screen, and that is handwork. Twelve projects sits at the bottom, forty at the top. An estimate until the archive has been reviewed.
