The brief
Studio ARO designs architecture with an emphasis on bamboo, organic materials, sustainability and a meaningful connection between people and their surroundings. The website needed to communicate this philosophy visually, while making the studio’s projects easy to explore and giving prospective clients a clear way to get in touch.
The challenge
A portfolio for an architecture practice must do more than list services. It needs to make the work itself the central narrative, present projects consistently, and allow the studio to publish new work without depending on a developer for every update. Studio ARO also needed a reliable email marketing system for following up with interested prospects.
What Clickyowl built
A bespoke WordPress experience
Clickyowl developed a custom-coded WordPress theme, rather than relying on a generic off-the-shelf design. The portfolio-led structure was designed to foreground the studio’s architecture and communicate its design philosophy.
Self-managed portfolio publishing
The website gave the Studio ARO team the tools to update its projects and keep its online portfolio current as new work became available.
Inquiry pathways
The website provided routes for interested visitors to contact the studio and submit project inquiries, supporting inbound opportunities without a dedicated paid lead-generation campaign.
Email marketing infrastructure
Clickyowl configured an emailer system to support the studio’s outreach and follow-up communications. The reported conversion improvement relates to interested prospects becoming clients, not to email opens or clicks.
Results
The reported results reflect Studio ARO’s website and communication activity; they should not be interpreted as isolated causal effects of any single feature.

Business impact
The finished website became both a digital showcase for Studio ARO’s distinctive architectural work and a practical tool for business development. A custom WordPress foundation made it possible to maintain the portfolio in-house, while inquiry forms and email infrastructure helped turn interest into conversations with prospective clients.
