Can I migrate my Houzz portfolio to VeloCMS?

Yes. From Houzz, download your project photos manually from each project page — Houzz has no bulk export. Your project descriptions are visible in your profile and can be copied into VeloCMS portfolio posts. Your Houzz Pro inquiry lead history can be exported as a CSV from the Leads section. Most architects complete a 10–15 project portfolio migration in 3–5 hours. Your existing Houzz profile stays live throughout — no downtime for incoming inquiries. Once your VeloCMS site is live with a custom domain, you can update your Houzz profile URL to point visitors to your owned domain.

How do project portfolio posts handle plans, sections, and elevations?

The portfolio post format in VeloCMS includes a multi-image gallery block that handles 30, 50, or 80+ images with lazy loading, keyboard-navigable lightbox, and per-image caption fields — where you can enter drawing sheet references, scale notations, and material callouts the way a technical drawing set would annotate them. Gallery blocks can be organized by project phase within a single post: Site Context, Concept Sketches, Schematic Plans and Sections, DD Drawings, Construction Progress, Detail Photographs, and Completion Photography — each as a labeled section. Images are served via Cloudflare R2 with CDN delivery and automatic WebP conversion for fast loading even on 80-image project documentation archives.

Why is Brutalist Architecture the recommended theme for architects?

The Brutalist Architecture theme was designed around the visual language of architectural documentation: raw concrete grey as the background surface (the same neutral that makes architectural photography readable), IBM Plex Mono in lowercase for drawing labels, technical notation, and material callouts — the typographic tradition of architectural drawings — rebar-orange accent used with restraint as a single-color highlight that signals precision without decorative excess, and a 2-column asymmetric grid where the primary column holds photography at full bleed width and the secondary column carries the project narrative and technical specification. It is a direct visual argument for your design competence before a client reads a single word. Alternatives: Atelier Modern for contemporary firms with a cooler Swiss-typography editorial approach; Pacific Modern for residential architects working in West Coast modernist practice.

How do paid consulting tiers work via BYOK Stripe?

In Admin → Settings → Membership, connect your Stripe account via a 60-second OAuth flow. Create one or more consulting products: a fixed-fee 'Pre-Development Feasibility Review at $400', an hourly 'Technical Peer Review at $250/hr' with a quantity field for hours, or a 'Concept Design Workshop at $1,500' for a 3-hour session. Each product gets a public checkout page at your domain. A prospect lands on your consulting page, selects the service, pays via Stripe, and receives a confirmation email with instructions for submitting their project brief. VeloCMS takes 0% — only Stripe's standard 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee applies. Your Stripe account receives payment directly.

Can the RFP form capture detailed project scope — site, budget, square footage, program?

Yes. The inquiry form in VeloCMS captures structured fields: project type dropdown (new construction / renovation / addition / interior architecture / adaptive reuse / feasibility study / pre-development review), approximate program area in square feet (free text), budget range (under $500K / $500K–1M / $1M–3M / $3M–10M / over $10M), site ownership status (owned / optioned / not yet identified), preferred start date (immediately / 3 months / 6+ months / planning only), and a free-text 'describe your project brief' field. Every submission is stored in Admin → Members as a contact record with the full form data and sent to your email immediately — no Houzz intermediary, no brokerage.

Should I stop submitting to ArchDaily and Dezeen entirely?

Not necessarily — editorial publication and owned portfolio are complementary channels, not competing ones. ArchDaily and Dezeen submissions are worth pursuing for recognition, awards eligibility, and peer-network visibility in the architecture community. The change in strategy is: stop treating ArchDaily as your primary portfolio infrastructure. Before a submission, publish the complete project documentation — 30+ photos, full drawing set, complete process narrative — as a VeloCMS portfolio post at your domain. If ArchDaily publishes a version, link from their editorial to your canonical post for the complete documentation. If they reject it, your full documentation already lives publicly on your domain, indexed by Google, and building domain authority without waiting for editorial gatekeeping.

Can I run Atelier Modern or Pacific Modern instead of Brutalist Architecture?

Yes. All three themes are included free on every plan. Atelier Modern is a better fit for contemporary design firms with a cooler, more restrained typographic palette — Swiss-influenced grid, generous whitespace, Helvetica-adjacent heading treatment, and a layout that foregrounds photography without the concrete-and-rebar aesthetic of Brutalist Architecture. Pacific Modern is designed for residential architects practicing in the West Coast modernist tradition — warm natural materials palette, generous glazing-to-landscape photography treatment, and a more organic typographic rhythm than the rigid technical precision of Brutalist Architecture. You can preview all themes at /themes/brutalist-architecture, /themes/atelier-modern, and /themes/pacific-modern — and switch between them at any time from Admin → Themes without losing any content.

Does VeloCMS handle 3D model embeds — Sketchfab, Spline — for project pages?

Yes. VeloCMS post pages and custom pages support HTML embed blocks where you can paste Sketchfab's iframe embed code for 3D models, Spline's scene embed for interactive 3D explorations, or any iframe-based embed from visualization tools like Rhino Compute outputs, Grasshopper web exports, or parametric design tools. The embed block renders the iframe at responsive widths and full viewport width on desktop. For Sketchfab specifically, you can paste the model URL directly — VeloCMS recognizes Sketchfab embed patterns and renders the model viewer inline with the keyboard-navigable 3D controls Sketchfab provides. Architecture students and parametric design practitioners who want to showcase computational design work can embed live 3D models directly in project portfolio posts alongside the plan/section/photo documentation.
