Challenges

  • Creating a Luxurious, Chrome-Inspired Design: The client wanted a website that exuded luxury and specifically asked for the website to be “Chrome.” However, since chrome is a finish, not a colour, implementing this was challenging.
  • Dynamic Property Listings: Their goal was to post their own properties alongside listings from partnered real estate websites. These listings had varying details; some properties had limited information, while others had extensive details.
  • Managing Sub-Listings: The client had properties with sub-listings and initially wanted to list them within the description, which could clutter the page and confuse users.
  • Mailchimp Integration: The client wanted all form submissions to be integrated with Mailchimp, including a timestamp and the property name from which the form was submitted.
  • Agent Backend Management: The request was for a page that listed all the agents working for the company.

Solutions & Features

Modern Website Development

We incorporated a gold gradient into the design. Gold signifies luxury, and the gradient effect represents the reflective nature of chrome under sunlight. This approach satisfied the client’s desire for a chrome-inspired aesthetic while ensuring the design was visually appealing and practical for web use.

Property Listings Integration

We implemented custom fields in the backend that were conditional based on the property type. If certain fields were left blank due to incomplete information, they would not appear on the frontend. This ensured that property listings remained clean and free of empty placeholders, providing a better user experience.

Management Integration

Translated the client’s PowerPoint design into a functional website, preserving the aesthetic while enhancing usability and responsiveness.

Responsive Design Implementation

Focused on ensuring the website’s optimal performance on various devices, we implemented a responsive design. This was crucial for providing a seamless experience for users on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

Client Collaboration

We worked closely with the client to understand their unique needs and preferences. Also, provided solutions that balanced their desires with best practices in web development and user experience.
