What is Monograph?

Monograph.io is a technology company founded by architects with the mission to help every architect build a beautiful website–simply, without any code. We make it easy to grow your firm’s online identity with website templates designed for architects, drag-and-drop editing, and industry-tailored SEO.

Beginning with websites, our goal is to elevate and transform the practice of architecture through better communicating the value architects bring to clients, the public, and our built environment.

Who is Monograph?

Monograph is founded by three partners trained as architects turned entrepreneurs, technologists, and digital designers. We believe in building purposeful and powerful technologies for architects and the design industry. Everyday we work towards our mission to bridge the gap between silicon valley engineering, digital design, and architecture.

Why Monograph?

Websites form the cornerstone of an architect’s business. They’re a first point of contact, a portfolio on-the-go, a talent attractor, an in-house archive– they can define your company’s persona and build your reputation. But unless you’re well versed in programming or willing to shell out 5 figures most architecture websites will never live up to those expectations.

We want to level the playing field.

Designed specifically for architects, Monograph is the distillation of over 5 years of our own experience building architecture websites for firms like Stanley Saitowitz, Kennedy & Violich Architecture, and Gunadi Lamere Design. Drawing on our collective knowledge we’ve developed tools and protocols to support a successful architecture practice — from simple drag-n-drop interfaces to industry tailored SEO. And we’re doing this because we believe every architect should be able create an award winning website without a single line of code or breaking the bank.

Our Templates

We currently have 2 templates available, the Avant and Mezzanine, with more on the horizon.

Avant

Avant’s clean, banded layout offers plenty of room to showcase your portfolio and recent news.

Mezzanine

Mezzanine is a modern two-column website template perfect for small firms or architects just starting out.
