Websites for Architecture in Gourock, Inverclyde

I designed a portfolio website to promote Richard Robb Architect’s work and services while reinforcing the new brand identity throughout the site.

The site uses generous areas of whitespace to emphasize important information and carefully controlled typography to create a site structure that stands out from other architectural design practices in Greenock and Inverclyde.

The homepage for Richard Robb Architects features a full spread slideshow featuring the best work by Richard Robb Architects, each photo linking to various pages of the web site. The site navigation is simple and obvious, located as a footer lower on the page to frame the main content.

Project Gallery

The backbone of the site is the project gallery, where Richard Robb Architects can showcase the business’s star projects.

Portfolio Project

Each project shows key information, as well as high impact visuals, graphics and photography to help sell the project.

Team Profiles

It also helps to make sure that you have clearly visible personal profiles so that your clients can connect a name to the face. People like to see that you are real!

Local Service Areas

Clients will look for relevant businesses in their local area so it was important that I create a local area page to show the areas the business covered.

Help and Advice

I designed a help and advice section with common questions and FAQs for our clients. This turns Richard Robb Architects website into a hub for useful advice for our customers.

Our Process

The process page was equally of value to show what Richard Robb Architects does differently from the competition.

Custom Graphics

I designed custom artwork and illustration for the website to help Richard Robb Architects stand out from the competition.

Accrediations

It’s very important to establish trust. One way to do this is show your business’s accreditation and testimonials.

Clients

A third part of trust is establishing social trust. This means clients will be more likely to convert if they know you have worked with people they know and trust.

Contact

Once the client knows the value the business offers, and has established trust they will hopefully be ready to convert!

This is why it is vital that you provide opportunities for them to contact you.

Contact Map

I also created a custom-styled and branded map so clients could locate the design studio

branding & Marketing for Architecture in Gourock, Inverclyde

When I started working with Richard Robb Architects from their studio in Gourock there was no singular brand identity to speak of. The brand was defined by several existing visual elements in the office and company stationery such as a city skyline and an existing font. Design Hero worked with these elements to build a unified brand identity around these elements.

Old logo vs New logo

Clean lines, generous white space and repeating geometry, as well as the careful use of greyscale, were used as themes throughout the brand to lend a professional, modern impact to the architectural practice.

Logo Design

The logo was assembled from a skyline graphic used on the studio windows and the text was rearranged to sit more neatly in the logo as well as adding more contrast between text lines to bring out Richard Robb as the principal architect. The address was added as a tagline to the logo through the logo can be used independently with or without it.
