Applied Studio Architects Squarespace Website Design
Applied Studio is an architecture studio based in Europe and North America. They approached us to create a Squarespace website design that showcased their brilliant work and shined a spotlight on their impressive architectural portfolio.
Project overview
We were excited to craft a Squarespace website redesign for the global architectural firm, Applied Studio, giving them a powerful digital hub to showcase their extensive architectural portfolio.

Squarespace Website Design Goals
The aim of the site was to wow Applied Studio’s potential clients by making their beautiful architectural catalogue the star of the show.
Applied Studio has worked with impressive clients such as Grey Goose, Flat Iron and BrewDog, so it was crucial that these projects were clear to site visitors.
We created an intricate but delicate-looking scroll animation so we could showcase the stunning project images without distracting site visitors from important information displayed next to them.
High Converting, Flexible Website Design
We know that adding a contact form alone isn’t enough to encourage people to get in touch, so we added a ‘call to action’ at the end of every project page to engage the user and encourage more enquiries.
It was integral that we also created engaging and sophisticated layouts to showcase the projects and their beautiful imagery.
We used ‘sticky’ sections within the Squarespace website design to encourage users to keep scrolling through the smooth transitions of photos from the projects.
Not only is using this kind of scroll animation really engaging, but it also allows us to easily repopulate project pages regardless of how many images there are for each project.
Portfolio Website Design
Our aim was to craft a design that provided ample breathing room for the images while avoiding an overly simplistic or unengaging appearance.
By combining full-width photos, subtly inset images, and strategically positioned ‘sticky’ sections, we were able to skilfully lead users along the page's narrative.
Given the portfolio's extensive visual content, we took special care to resize every image. This optimisation ensured quick site loading speeds, preserving a seamless browsing experience. Additionally, we renamed image files to incorporate keywords before uploading them to boost the site's search engine optimisation (SEO) performance.
Bespoke Squarespace Training
We teach all of our clients how to use and update their website with our bespoke video training at the end of the project, all of our clients say how easy it is for them to update their website after the training.
We also offer Squarespace maintenance packages for those who need additional help or are too busy wearing all of the other business-owner hats.
