// for architects, surveyors and engineers
The enquiry says name, email, message.
The project arrives later, one email at a time.
For architects, surveyors, structural engineers and interior designers: a project enquiry that arrives with what you need to quote, a fee proposal drafted from it for you to check, and a site that shows the practice properly.

Where an enquiry slows down.
Name, email, message
On 7 of the 16, the first contact we could see asked nothing about the project: no site address, no stage, no budget, no drawings. Those come later, over email or a call, before anyone can say what the job is.
No word on when you'll hear back
13 of the 16 gave no reply time; one says "we'll respond to you as soon as we can". A client who has written to three practices can't tell which one will answer first.
The fee waits for a meeting
12 of the 16 showed no figure for any service. That's often fair, because every project differs, but it means the client decides on the proposal, and a proposal can only be as quick as the details behind it.
// what I'd do
Start with the enquiry.

first
An enquiry that asks the right questions
One project enquiry on your site that asks what you'd ask on the first call: site, stage, budget, timescale, with drawings and photos attached. It tells the client when to expect you, and lands with you as one complete project. One fixed price, agreed before I start.

then
Fee proposals, and the site itself
Fee proposals drafted from the enquiry in your own format, for you to check and send. And if the site is holding the practice back, a rebuild that shows the work the way it deserves and loads quickly on a phone.
// what I've built
Two firms' sites, each rebuilt twice.
- CityRoamerA Riga IT consultancy's site, first taken off a website builder whose certificate made browsers warn visitors away, then rebuilt as 14 pages that call no third-party services (measured 2 October 2026).see the case →
- DevgenomeA London IT, software and AI company: one page, then ten in July, then a 14-page site built around a 3D model of its own in September. No framework, no builder.see the case →
Architecture and surveying are new for me: both rebuilds here are for IT firms, so there's no practice like yours to show yet. The first job is small and fixed so you can judge the work before anything bigger.
Tell me how a new project reaches you today. I'll tell you on the call what I'd change first.
