Project Overview
Wexhaus is a well-established, independent architecture studio based in West Melbourne. With a focus on high-end, bespoke architectural solutions, their online portfolio needed to reflect the detail and polish they bring to their own client projects. Beleaf worked closely with them to design an elegant, lightweight website that allows the portfolio imagery to shine, without distraction. The result is a simple, but beautiful, website that showcases their work, whilst achieving best-in-class performance and sustainability metrics.

Performant even on the slowest internet connection
With 62% of users in 2022 browsing websites using a mobile, it’s more important than ever to optimise your website for mobile traffic.
Mobiles are, more often than not, used out and about on mobile networks, where average speeds vary dramatically. This means that when testing your website, real-world conditions often means the bus stop outside, not next to the router in the office.
With Wexhaus, the site will load in a heartbeat even on the slowest internet connection thanks to a lower overall page size, optimised code, and a performance-first hosting solution.
Don’t take our word for it. The Google Lighthouse metrics speak for themselves.
