Homepage and project structure

Use a single opening image and one primary action. For an architecture commission, build a full project page visitors can reach from the first screen. Show an exterior, a circulation view, and one material detail to give a sense of scale.

Plan a project and inquiry path

Use a sample brief built around the architectural commission for a renovated library. Organize the portfolio around street elevation, circulation, and material details. On the inquiry page, ask for site address, access restrictions, and delivery requirements so the first reply can address the scope of the work.

Decide what belongs in the captions

Give the reader enough context to understand the choices in the images. When relevant, explain how you worked with site access, sun angle, and editorial usage. Keep details that affect pricing or availability on the service or inquiry page.

Make it your own

Replace the sample images and copy with your work. Decide whether the inquiry action belongs next to the portfolio or on a dedicated service page. Plan the desktop and mobile compositions as separate passes, then verify both after publishing.

Platform setup

This is a browser-based design study. A native Showit template file is currently unavailable.

Connect the wide frame to the material detail

Show how someone moves through the space, then use a close frame to explain a finish or junction. Organize architectural projects by what the viewer needs to compare, such as exterior, circulation, and material, and use captions to explain scale.
