Vertically Built – Architecture & Built-Environment Firm

Vertically Built is an architecture firm whose mission is to design “boundary-pushing concepts that drive the evolution of our built environments. They required a website that not only showcased their design ethos and projects, but also communicated their forward-thinking brand identity and professionalism to clients in architecture, development and real-estate. Biz499 Agency delivered a site that sets a strong digital footprint aligned with their vision.

How Biz499 Agency carried it out

Discovery & Strategy: We engaged with Vertically Built to understand their design philosophy, target audience (developers, clients in built-environment sector), key projects they wished to showcase, and how the website should reflect their premium design approach.
Design: We created a visual style that emphasised architectural elegance — full-width imagery of built structures, clean typography, minimal distractions, and an immersive experience for site visitors.
Development: We built the site with scalability in mind so that future projects, case-studies or visual assets can be added. The CMS is set up to allow updates of project galleries, team profiles, and thought-leadership content.
Content & UX: The user flow leads with visuals of signature works, then supports visitors with information about the firm’s services and contact. We structured project pages so that each work is presented with a strong visual lead, project description and client value.
Testing & Launch: Rigorous testing across devices and browsers, optimisation of image loading (since architecture visuals tend to be large), and final hand-off/training for the client to manage their site.

Challenges & Solutions

Large visual assets & performance: Architectural sites rely on high-resolution photography, which can slow load times. We performed image optimisation, lazy-loading of gallery images, and compression strategies to maintain speed without sacrificing visual fidelity.
Reflecting design identity digitally: Translating the firm’s “boundary-pushing” design philosophy into website UI/UX required a careful balance of brand expression and usability. We achieved this by pairing strong visuals with minimalistic layout and intuitive navigation.
Future-proofing for new projects and growth: As architecture firms accumulate more projects over time, the website must handle expanding galleries and case studies. We structured the CMS to allow easy addition of projects, filterable portfolios, and consistent styling for future updates.

Success & Impact

The site now provides Vertically Built with a strong online presence that aligns with their brand, design quality and professionalism.
Visitors can visually engage with the firm’s key works, helping build credibility and interest among potential clients in the architecture and development field.
The CMS structure allows the firm to update or expand their portfolio easily, ensuring the website remains current and useful as they grow.
The clean UX and performance-optimised site improve user experience and help make a strong first impression for business-development enquiries.
