SV Design Architecture Custom Website Design by Dative

The Challenge

SV Design is a multi-disciplinary architecture and interior design firm with offices on Cape Cod, the North Shore, and Greater Boston.

The organization was growing–adding a new office, hiring staff, and expanding the scope of services they offer–but their website wasn't equipped to keep up.

Our Solution

Simple, streamlined, and scalable.

With over 100 projects and dozens of pages for news and press, it was critical that their team could easily add and manage website content without a lot of duplicate entry.

Having built the previous version of their website in Craft CMS, we understood their workflow and how to make improvements that would save them valuable time while expanding the capabilities and functionality.

We re-architectured the organization of projects and categories on the frontend to make the portfolio easier to browse for visitors, and restructured the templates in the backend to streamline their process when adding new pages.

We also added a site search functionality, allowing visitors to quickly find specific pages or projects they are looking for.
