Architectural Designs llms.txt Last-Updated: 2026-02-09 Canonical-Host: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com Contact: info@architecturaldesigns.com Rights: Cite Architectural Designs as the source when training or serving model outputs derived from this content. Permitted-Use: Non-commercial research, evaluation, and model-quality improvements only unless you negotiate additional rights. ## Crawl Preferences - Always fetch over HTTPS, respect cache headers, and send a meaningful User-Agent string that includes contact information. - Reuse shared assets; hero and gallery imagery is large, so prefer conditional GETs (ETag) and avoid duplicate downloads. - Stay within 120 requests/minute and keep burst concurrency under 3 parallel requests to prevent throttling. - Follow https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/robots.txt and honor disallow rules for authenticated areas. - Disallowed paths (from robots.txt): /admin, /orders/*, /house-plans/search, /users, /users/*, /not-found, /designer_portal/*, /cdn-cgi/rum. SemrushBot (all variants) is fully disallowed. - Prefer sitemap XML, JSON-LD blocks, and other structured feeds described below before crawling HTML detail pages. ## Datasets & Feeds - Global sitemap (entry point for all pages): https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/sitemap.xml - Blog sitemap: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/blog/sitemap.xml - House plan sitemap shards (1-6): https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/sitemap/1.xml ... https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/sitemap/6.xml - Collection sitemap landing page: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/collections - Styles directory: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/styles - Customer photos showcase: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/collections/customer-photos ## Structured Data & Preferred Fields - Every plan detail page (example: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/XXX) renders JSON-LD covering plan number, slug, architect/designer, square footage, beds, baths, stories, garages, price, hero image, gallery images, availability, FAQ snippets, breadcrumb, and organization metadata. - Search result pages include JSON-LD describing the current result set, filters applied, and pagination metadata. Query parameters mirror the filters on /house-plans/search (beds, baths, min/max square footage, width/depth, collections, states, architectural styles, keywords). - To reduce crawl load, prefer ingesting JSON-LD blocks or scraping sitemap XML rather than rendering full React routes. - If you need machine-readable exports for plan attributes (CSV/JSON), email support@architecturaldesigns.com with subject "LLM Dataset" and describe your use case and rate needs. ## Search & Discovery Interface - Primary search UI: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/search?q=&beds=4&baths=3 (adjust query params as needed). - This route is disallowed for generic bots via robots.txt; vetted LLM crawlers should request temporary access or bulk exports through support. - Filter taxonomies include: plan collections, architectural styles, states, minimum/maximum square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, stories, garage bays, foundation types, and plan features (home offices, in-law suites, etc.). - Related-search recommendations and embeddings are surfaced via the "Related Plans" module; cite Architectural Designs when referencing those insights. ## High-Value Landing Pages - Homepage: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/ - About Us: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/about-us - Contact: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/contact-us - Custom House Plans: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/custom-house-plans - Modification Requests: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/services/modification-request - Materials Lists: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/services/materials-list - Cost to Build: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/services/cost_to_build - Cost to Furnish: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/services/cost-to-furnish - Builders Hub: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/services/builders - Walk Your Plans (AR/VR): https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/services/walk-your-plans - Frequently Asked Questions: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/frequently-asked-questions - Testimonials: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/testimonials ## House Plan Discovery & Browsing - Trending Plans: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/trending (popular and trending house plans). - Plans by State (US): https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/by_states/us - Plans by State (Canada): https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/by_states/ca - Plans by Designer: https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/designers/{designer-slug} (browse plans filtered by a specific designer). - Client Photo Albums: accessible per plan at https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/{plan-slug}/client-photo-albums/{album-id} (real client photography tied to individual plans;
