When I think of value in terms of web presence and a business, I think of supporting the brand. I think that is a very big deal to architects, or it should be.
I've spent allot of time around architects and I noticed that sometimes concepts not concerning the bottom line are not to be bothered with.
I tell my friends in architecture that a web site will not really bring in cold customers very often if ever. However in a business so full of intellectual property it is an important part of the firms brand to have a smart web presence (their competitors do!). The site doesn't have to be a just brochure and portfolio only. I have also used the web space to build some secure "client sites" that the firm could post frequently used documents and some drawings for client viewing or download. I'm sure there are other value adds depending on the firm that I haven't thought of.
Hope that helped. Made Me feel better.
