FAQ

Answers to Common Questions

What makes Fairbuilt different from other branding studios in Portland?

We specialize in bridging architectural thinking with brand strategy. Our background in architectural design means we approach every project with an understanding of form, function, and user experience - both in physical and digital spaces. The result is branding and websites that not only look refined but align with how your clients experience your firm.

Can you help with both branding and website design?

Absolutely. We take a holistic strategic approach - ensuring your strategy, logo, messaging, and visual identity work seamlessly across print, digital, and the built environment. Whether you need strateic alignment, a full rebrand, a refined website, or help with everything, we build cohesive systems that feel elevated and consistent.

What does it cost to brand and build a website for an architecture firm?

Most of our architecture clients invest between $10,000–$50,000 for a strategic brand and website system. This range depends on deliverables, level of strategy, and technical complexity. We’re happy to provide a tailored proposal after an initial consultation and a strategy meeting.

Do you only work with architecture firms in Portland?

No. While we’re based in Portland and love working with local studios, we collaborate with architecture firms and AEC businesses across the country. Our remote process is streamlined, allowing us to build meaningful partnerships no matter where you’re located.

How long does a typical branding or website project take?

Timelines vary depending on scope, but most branding projects take 6–8 weeks, and websites take 8–12 weeks. For combined branding and website projects, we create a phased timeline that keeps things efficient without cutting corners.

Do you offer photography or copywriting support?

Yes. We can handle light copywriting and brand photography in-house and partner with specialized writers and photographers familiar with the architecture industry for larger projects. The goal is to create a unified final product that truly represents your firm’s vision and expertise.
