ARCHCAREERSGUIDE.COM 2020 SUMMARY
All would agree that they cannot wait until the clocks turn midnight on January 1, 2021; the year 2020 would truly be over and we would start fresh for 2021. Of course, the primary reason that 2020 is getting a bad rap – i.e., COVID-19, will not be over but we enjoy starting over. Besides, the vaccine is being delivered and most of us will receive it by mid-2020.
But the end of the year typically means a review of the past year and a look forward to the next year. So, below is a review of ARCHCareersGuide.com for 2020.

Through nearly the end of December, there were almost 17,000 visits to the website – almost 50 visits per day. From a review of the analytics, the most popular portion of the website was the listing of the architecture summer programs. Early in 2020 the annual listing was first provided through the following site:
https://www.archcareersguide.com/architecture-summer-programs-summer-2020/
However, as the pandemic impacted the programs, it was updated on the following site:
https://www.archcareersguide.com/summer/
These two sites represented over 6,500 visits.
The updated listing of summer architecture programs is clearly the greatest resource. Other resources added to the website over the course of the year include the following:
