Background
An emerging Auckland-based architectural consultancy specializing in bespoke residential homes approached Techwise with a clear objective: to establish a beautiful and functional online presence that reflected their design philosophy and connected with New Zealand homeowners.

Present project portfolios with large, high-quality imagery and descriptive narratives.
-
Make the site easy to update with new homes, awards, and testimonials.
-
Optimize for local discovery, especially for clients searching for Auckland residential architects.

Designed a clean, visual-first layout that highlighted large photography and emphasized light, materials, and spatial flow.
-
Created a project storytelling format that walked users through the brief, process, and results for each home.
-
Built the website using modern responsive frameworks to ensure seamless performance across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
-
Integrated a lightweight, intuitive CMS for the client to add new homes and media without technical assistance.
-
Implemented local SEO practices (e.g., schema markup, keyword targeting for “Auckland residential architect”) to improve visibility.
