Designed with you in Mind
The Architects' Index has been designed to allow you to update your information and login into your account and
pick up leads at any time. It has been designed by an architectural professional who understands the process of an
'Architect' and his requirements in promoting his practice. The Architects' Index has therefore been developed to
strike a balance between what information the potential 'client' is looking for and what information the 'Architect'
feels would best promote his practice.
