Architects and engineers

Websites for architects and engineers.

Clients and other firms judge you on the portfolio, so the project photos have to look sharp on a big monitor and still load on a phone. We build new portfolio sites and take over existing ones, and when a project wraps up, you send us the photos and we add it.

What we look after

What an architecture or engineering firm website has to do.

Show the work sharply

Project photos have to look good on a large monitor. We serve each photo at a size that fits the screen, so it stays sharp on a desktop and loads quickly on a phone.

Add new projects

Your newest projects are the ones that win work. On Managed + Website, email us the photos and a project description and we add it to the portfolio.

Sort projects by type

Clients look for work like theirs, whether that's schools, homes or bridges. We set up the portfolio so projects can be filtered by sector.

Back up your proposals

Firms send a link to the site along with a proposal. We check that the project pages you link to are up and load quickly when the client opens them.

Keep the team current

Licenses and staff photos change as people join and get registered. We update the team pages when you email us.

Post open positions

Many firms are always hiring. We post openings when you send them and take them down when they're filled.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • Our best projects from the last three years aren't on the site because nobody has time to add them.
  • The portfolio photos look great on a big monitor and take forever on a phone.
  • We sent a link with a proposal, and the project page was broken.
  • The site was built by a designer who moved on, and we can't change anything without breaking the layout.
A note from Ryan

Clients hire from the portfolio

I compare the newest project in a firm's portfolio with the newest project the firm is proud of. They're rarely the same, because adding projects is the job that gets put off. I also open the portfolio on a phone, since full-size renderings can take a long time to load.

Is your newest work on the site?

Send us the firm's site and we'll open the portfolio on a phone and a laptop, then tell you which projects load slowly.

How much do you want us to do?

Every plan comes with the same developer and a free migration. Managed is month to month, and Managed + Website has a 12-month minimum because the new website is part of it.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Not if they're prepared for the web. We save each photo in several sizes and serve the one that fits the screen, in modern formats, so it stays sharp on a large monitor and loads quickly on a phone.

Yes. Send the photos and the write-up and we add the project, out of the hour of developer time on Managed + Website. A big batch at once may take more than the monthly hour, and anything past it is quoted first at $95 an hour.

In most cases, yes. We move it over free and keep it updated and backed up without changing the design. If parts of it are hard to edit, we tell you and quote any fixes first.

Yes, that's what Managed + Website is for. We build the site with a portfolio you can keep adding to, and after two years we refresh the design so it doesn't start to look dated next to your newer work.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.
Cindy S.
Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.

I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
