The Challenge

This is a comprehensive course specifically designed to help architects and designers identify and rectify potential obstacles preventing website visitors from becoming paying clients.

Whether it’s ineffective call-to-actions, poor user experience, or inadequate content, we’ll explore a range of common issues and provide practical solutions to enhance your website’s lead conversion.

Our goal is to turn your website from just being an online presence into a powerful, customer-converting machine that significantly improves your bottom line.

Discover how to get more leads via your own website.

This course is aimed at architects looking to increase their leads but struggling to know why their website isn’t generating more leads for them.

Does this sound like you?

  • Are you attracting the wrong people or not enough people to your website?
  • Do visitors spend time on your site but never contact you?
  • Is your website beautiful but ineffective at converting leads?

If any of these resonate with you, you’re not alone. Many architects face these challenges, but the solutions are simpler than you might think.

Hey, I'm Daniel Nelson

I support original thinkers to build a creative and sustainable environment. I work to understand who you are and how best to communicate that via the multiple channels available to us today. I started in 2013 to connect PR and Inbound Marketing building an agency for the way people consume messages now.

I’m passionate about the built environment and architecture. How the way a building can change the landscape for a generation, how architecture can positively affect a community and even regenerate entire towns and districts. The way that a building has the ability to deliver placemaking through its architecture. I bring this passion to every project, devising strategies that will deliver the best message to the target audience.

How it works

Most of our courses run over several weeks, but this course is short to give you a taster.  You should be able to complete the course in 2.5 hours, but each section is split into lessons so you can come back to it over a period of time.

Just make sure you complete it within a year, or we’ll ask you to enroll again.

When do we start?

The course is free and open 24/7, 365 days a year. Start whenever it’s convenient for you and begin transforming your website into a powerful, customer-converting machine.

Your investment

Nothing, nada, zilch.  Why?  Well, we want you to have a taste of our courses, so this one is all free, forever.  You can experience what it’s like to take a course with us, and put some ideas into practice immediately!

This marketing course is for you if:

  • You’re an architect or designer with your own practice

  • You’re wondering why your website isn’t generating leads
  • You need help with guidance on where to start improving your website
  • You’re ready to make changes that will improve engagement
  • You’re interested in how to combine good design with great usability

This marketing course is NOT for you if:

  • You’re a web agency looking for general ideas
  • You don’t have the time to make changes to your website
  • Your clients already love your website and content
  • Your clients are already convinced to contact you before they reach your website
  • You want a quick-fix of ideas with instant results

Frequently Asked Questions

We have weekly calls at 1 pm UK time (GMT in the winter, BST in the summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays.)
Repays are available for the coaching, guest speaker and Path to Sustainability check-in calls. Connect calls and coworking calls are not recorded due to the nature of their content.
If you come to all the live calls and use the co-working sessions to dive into everything else on offer, you’ll be doing really well, so 2 hours a week is plenty. If you have less time than that, that’s fine too – you can dip in and out as you need to. Progress is better than perfection, remember!
All videos are captioned and audio-only versions are provided. There is also a private podcast to make listening on the move or while making easier. If there’s anything else I can do to make the course more accessible, please just ask and I will always do my best.
I have a limited number of fully-funded bursaries available. These are for people who would not be able to meet the running costs of their business if they invested in the membership and priority will be given to those who have been historically excluded from environmentalism work or those who face barriers to accessing natural spaces, such as people of colour, disabled people, people in bigger bodies, those with neurodivergences and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I will not ask you to justify why you need a bursary – I trust you to make that decision. Drop me an email and I’ll let you know if we currently have any spots available.
The weekly live calls are delivered via Zoom. Everything else is hosted on a platform called Circle. It’s easy to set up (and we can offer tech support if needs be) and combines the membership resources and community in one space, so you won’t need to hop between something like Thinkific or Kajabi and a Facebook Group – in fact, by popular demand, you won’t have to engage with Facebook at all!
Because nurturing yourself as well as the planet is one of the pillars of the Making Design Circular framework, we take two ‘rest months’ in the membership. That means there are no live calls in the month of July or from mid-December to mid-January. Your monthly membership is the cost of a year’s membership split between 12 monthly payments, so your usual fee still applies in these months and you can decide whether to take a break entirely, or to use the time to catch up or dive deeper into the self-paced content. You have full access to Circle and the private podcast as normal.
You can cancel your membership at any time – just give us at least three days’ notice before your next payment is due, so we can catch it in time. Please see the full T&Cs for more details.
If you are in the UK, we have to charge you VAT. If you are not in the UK and outside the EU, we will not charge you VAT. If you are in the EU, we have to charge VAT unless you provide a VAT number, in which case we don’t. Simple, huh?! But don’t worry – our payment system will work all of this out for as you add your details. (If you’re having any trouble entering your VAT number, make sure the two-letter prefix (eg DK for Denmark) matches the country you’ve entered in your address.) Give us a shout if you’re having any trouble and we’ll get you sorted.
