For architects, by a former architect

I write website copy for architects

And others in the design and built environment industry who don't want to sound like everyone else.

 

But want website copy that makes the right clients say: "I want to hire them."

I'm pretty sure these are some of the most important things you want from your work

Great clients who respect what you do for them and pay for quality.

People who see the value in your thinking and expertise.

Projects you enjoy working on. A lot.

All of them consistently knocking on your door.

Your website plays a big role in making that happen

It helps people decide if you are the right person to work with.

And they don’t decide that from images alone. What you say and how you say it play a huge role in this too.

BUT WE HAVE A PROBLEM

Words on most architectural websites...they’re an afterthought

Most lead with images. Fair enough. Your work is visual.

Lots lead with you first. And a good amount has lots of jargon.

But when:

  • Your message is not clear.

  • Your copy feels like decoration.

  • Your tone feels formal, not human.

  • You talk about process, not about benefits.

  • Your project pages are just pictures, not stories.

  • Your website talks about the practice, not the client.

  • Your words are written for peers, not the people you want to work with.

You end up with a polished website that potential clients admire but don't feel invited into.

WHAT IF

We take your incredible work and support it with words that make potential clients say: "Let's call them. I want to work with them."

Because here's what good words actually do.

They make people trust you.

They make people feel understood.

They make people think "this is exactly who I'm looking for."

They make people feel like they've already made the right decision.

And when someone feels that way, like one of my clients said: "They care about design over dollars."

Words have power.
Support your great work with the right ones, and they'll help you:

Get great clients who respect your work and pay for quality

Most architects are brilliant at design.

But they weren't trained to write about it.

So their website ends up sounding like everyone else's.

The right words really can change who walks through your door.

Get people to see the value in your thinking and expertise

You make hundreds of decisions on every project.

But if your website doesn't show that, clients can't see it.

Put your thinking into words, they see the 'why' behind your work.

And that's when they think: "This person truly gets it. I trust them."

Get projects you actually enjoy working on

The right words tend to attract the right people.

People who value your process and respect your work.

People who don't just want a building, they want your thinking.

That's when work starts to feel less like a job and more like a partnership.

This is for you:

  • If you want prospects to think, "They are definitely my cup of tea, let's call them," and actually do it.

  • If you want a partner who understands the industry and writes like a human.

  • If you want your personality on the page, not just projects on a grid.

  • If you want clients to see you put them front and centre.

  • All of the above of course.

This is not for you:

  • If you want to keep the "generic robot" voice like: "We are an innovative, award-winning firm…".

  • If you'd rather your website speak to peers than to potential clients.

  • If you want a website that talks about you, not to your clients.

  • If you prefer a website that informs rather than connects.

  • All of the above of course.

Website copy

Client: Cooper8

Industry:  Commercial kithen designers & catering consultants

"Maja, you've smashed it! It took us a moment at first as it's quite different to what we have but the more we read it, the more we liked it. You've nailed the direction and the level of detail whilst keeping it clear and simple is fantastic. We were reading it thinking "we'd hire us"."

Website copy

Client: Nadia Riley | Architect

Industry: Animal space design

"I wanted a second opinion from someone who understood this work but was not involved in my website. The rewritten story stood out because it flowed well and it removed the technical noise. This kind of storytelling can help architects see their own work through a clearer, client focused lens, which is hard to do on your own."

Client: Ian Armstrong, Director, ARCO2 Architecture Ltd

"The clarity stood out right away. You captured the essence in simple words that clients would understand, which made it easy for us to move ahead. The whole process felt straightforward and it helped us see our work from a different angle. If another practice is unsure, we would say give it a go."

"I wanted a fresh perspective and the new version delivered that. It read like a real story and was far more engaging than our earlier copy. It also changed how I see the work. It felt much more clearer at the same time. This approach can help architects show their value in a way people actually feel."

"The more we read it, the more excited we became. That proper, gut-level excitement when you know something is great. She’d captured exactly what we’d been trying to say but hadn’t quite been able to articulate: you have a problem, we can fix it. It feels confident, clear, and genuinely like us. We didn’t need any revisions. She nailed it first time."

"Working with Maja on my website copy was an excellent experience, both professionally and personally. She brought a strong, logical structure to the entire website. She simplified the language so the work becomes clear and understandable for anyone. She shifted the focus from “what I did” to the benefits and solutions clients receive."

PROCESS

This is how we work together on writing a website copy

01

I send you a questionnaire

Not a "who you are and what you do" exercise. Questions that pull out your personality, your human side, and the 'why' behind your work.

02

We schedule a Zoom call

A focused session on how you position yourself and who your website is really for. At the end I have all the info I need to start writing.

03

I write your copy

I write your copy, send it to you, you give me feedback, and I update it until you're fully satisfied. You can relax.

04

You get your copy

Delivered in a clean wireframe format, ready for your designer or ready for you to do it yourself. You're ready to go.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about website copywriting

You end up with a polished website that potential clients admire but don't feel invited into.

  • The most time you'll spend is answering the questionnaire. I recommend doing it in chunks. As one client said: "Wow, this is really comprehensive." And after they finished: "It was actually really useful going through those questions." Then we have one Zoom call of about an hour. After that, I take it from there.

  • Because that's why the questionnaire is so important. It's the foundation of everything we do. Your answers, your words, your way of thinking. I just shape it into something your clients can feel.

  • Absolutely. Human doesn't mean casual. It means your clients feel like they're talking to a real person, not reading a brochure. The most trusted professionals in the world communicate that way. And that's exactly what makes people want to work with you.

  • Then we fix it. You get two rounds of revisions and I won't stop until it feels right.

  • Yes. If you want to try it out, we can start with just the homepage and I'll align the price to that.

  • Yes. Everything is done remotely so location doesn't matter.

  • The right words tend to attract the right people. What I focus on is making your website speak clearly to the clients you actually want to work with, not just anyone. That usually leads to better enquiries, because the right people recognise themselves in what you're saying. But it also depends on other things like your offer, your work, and how you show up. What I can make sure of is that your website is doing its job properly.

Why I'm the right person to help?

You didn't become an architect to write about architecture. You became one to design spaces that change how people live and work.

But somewhere between the drawings and the deadlines, the words got left behind. And your website ended up sounding like everyone else's.

That's where I come in:

I spent 13 years as an architect. I know what goes into every decision. The constraints, the compromises, the thinking no one ever sees.

But I also know what your clients are feeling when they land on your website. What they're hoping to find. What makes them feel confident enough to reach out.

 

I bring both worlds together.

I take everything that makes your work brilliant and turn it into words your clients actually feel. So you can focus on what you do best. And trust that your website is doing the rest.
