Devereaux Architecture is a residential architecture and planning firm in Northern Virginia with a portfolio of built work.

The project was a WordPress to Webflow migration with a design refresh — a site built to showcase the architectural work with minimal moving parts.

Why Webflow

For a portfolio site, a dynamic PHP stack — server updates, plugin compatibility, security patches — is ongoing overhead the content doesn't need. Webflow removes those moving parts: no server-side runtime to fall out of date, no plugin chain to maintain, and the portfolio lives in a Webflow CMS collection, structured so new projects can be added without touching code.

What Was Built

Platform migration. Moved from self-hosted WordPress to Webflow. All existing pages were rebuilt in Webflow's designer with a new visual language.

Portfolio CMS. Set up a Webflow CMS collection for projects — filterable by project type, with full image galleries, descriptions, and project details. Adding a project is a content edit, not a code change.

Design refresh. The new design emphasizes the architectural work itself. Large imagery, clean whitespace, and a layout that puts the portfolio front and center.

Performance. Assets served from Webflow's CDN, images optimized automatically, no plugin overhead.

Redirects and SEO. Legacy WordPress URLs were mapped to permanent redirects, structured to minimize disruption to existing search rankings. Meta titles, descriptions, and image alt text carried over and were updated.

Delivered

This is the shape of a WordPress to Webflow migration for a portfolio site: fewer moving parts and a CMS the owner can edit. The firm is based in Northern Virginia, where most of this work happens.
