I think it's always good to have a web presence that is representative of what you consider your strongest qualities and especially what you are trying to sell.
But with architecture, it's pretty difficult for someone to fully understand the projects by looking at a few tiny images. It's not like the design industries where you can actually view the work in it's entirety (web, graphic, and illustration). I don't think it's going to get anyone any clients and therefore is hard to justify spending money on.
I don't know one firm that I am closely familiar with (all my buds are architects, too) that has paid anyone to do their site. It's all either volunteer work from students or a someone will learn enough to do it (it ain't too hard compared with ACAD and 3D Max).
The larger the firm, typically has less of a distinct web presence and it's only the really good designer's that have a great sites (that I know of). Most will probably control every aspect of the design.
