Design Powers

Design Powers is a small agency based in Arlington, Virginia, founded in 1996 and operating with a team of 1-10 people. It works exclusively with firms in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, positioning its offer around helping these companies present themselves accurately online rather than relying on generic, competitor-sounding copy and outdated project pages. Clients referenced in its case studies include structural engineering, industrial treatment, capital, and aviation cargo facility firms, indicating a consistent focus on technical and industrial B2B businesses. The agency's process is organized into named phases: "The Power Plan," a 90-minute discovery session covering business goals, competitors, and existing platforms that results in a custom proposal before any contract is signed; and "The Foundation," which covers rebranding, structured and search-optimized website copy written for AEC decision-makers, website design and build, a social media kit, and launch, with options to add custom photography, branded slide decks, or printed collateral. After launch, ongoing work is delivered through "Increased Visibility" monthly services, including visual content, case studies, blog posts, email nurture campaigns, digital ads, and CRM build-out. Declared services also include SEO, web design, graphic design, web development, and branding, all framed as tailored specifically to AEC firms rather than offered as generic packages.
