Project description
Transformed a 30-year-old architecture firm’s outdated website into a modern, elegant showcase of their expertise. Implemented a sophisticated data migration system using Python that automatically cleaned, processed, and imported their extensive project portfolio while maintaining data integrity. The responsive design highlights their architectural philosophy and impressive portfolio of over 100 completed projects.
Key Components
- Complete redesign with responsive, elegant interface that embodies the firm’s design philosophy
- Python-based data migration system to process 30 years of project data
- Custom WordPress theme with advanced portfolio display functionality
- Automated image processing and optimization pipeline
- Multilingual support (French and English) with content synchronization
- Interactive project showcase with filtering and categorization
Design Approach
The design philosophy centered on creating a minimalist, elegant interface that would showcase the architecture rather than competing with it. I worked closely with the firm’s partners to develop a visual language that reflected their architectural ethos of clean lines, thoughtful proportions, and attention to detail. The responsive design ensures that projects are beautifully presented across all devices, with special attention to image presentation and typography.
Results & Impact
The new website has transformed the firm’s digital presence, creating a showcase worthy of their three decades of architectural excellence. The modern, elegant design has received enthusiastic feedback from clients and industry peers. The sophisticated project portfolio system has made their extensive body of work accessible and engaging. Site traffic has increased by 175% since launch, with a 240% increase in time spent exploring project portfolios. Most importantly, the firm reports that the new website has directly contributed to securing several significant new commissions.
