Project Details

Rains Design was looking for a brand new site to showcase the exceptional residential designs they've been creating throughout Arizona's most extraordinary communities. As architects themselves, they had a high bar for the final look and feel of their site, which we are proud to say we delivered.

Rains Design wanted to be sure that the new design successfully addressed several key issues that they had with their previous website. These elements included:

  • Minimal multi-page structure with intuitive navigation for future prospects
  • Portfolio-first design that effectively showcases their residential projects
  • Dedicated project pages featuring imagery, details, and collaborative team credits
  • Integration of client testimonials that provide meaningful social proof
  • Live Instagram feed to keep content fresh with latest project imagery
  • Clean, minimal aesthetic that positions their architectural work as the focus

The Results

A Portfolio-First Website That Elevates Their Design Excellence

We delivered a complete website redesign built around Rains Design's impressive portfolio of award-winning residential projects. The minimal four-page architecture keeps navigation intuitive while directing attention to what matters most—their work. The centerpiece is a comprehensive portfolio featuring more than 15 recent projects, each with its own dedicated page that includes project imagery, detailed descriptions, and full credits for the collaborative teams of builders, landscape architects, and photographers involved in bringing each home to life. An integrated Instagram feed keeps the site dynamic with the latest imagery Bryan shares, ensuring prospects always see current work. Strategic placement of client testimonials throughout the experience provides meaningful social proof for homeowners and builders evaluating design partners. The clean aesthetic eliminates visual noise and allows Rains Design's architectural excellence to speak for itself—exactly what a firm needs when their website serves as their primary portfolio for prospective clients and industry peers.

"Our website is our primary portfolio for showcasing our company to prospective clients and industry peers, so we had to get it right. After discussing the look and feel we wanted, Next Drop delivered a first draft that already beyond what we had hoped to receive. The response we have received on the new site has been overwhelmingly positive. We only wish we would have updated the site sooner!"
