Below we have put together ‘Before and After’ website screenshots.
Homepage
Before the site looked dull and simple. It doesn’t have a catchy look and feel and therefore doesn’t engage you into any emotion or doesn’t make you feel like clicking on any specific item on the website. It didn’t attract users. Therefore, a new design was implemented with a dual slider with several attractive backgrounds to catch the user’s attention. The slider 2 which is below the fold is a property carousel.

Properties Search Page
Previously, the properties search page was very “Old School”. Visitors would have to type the information manually. In the new design, it is much more convenient. It has made life easier for the user to browse through by clicking on the map to select the preferred location.

Individual property page
On property page, google maps are provided in the new design which is very useful to a lot of people. It also has a beautiful lightbox effect to go through all property images. However, the thumbnails are large enough that you don’t feel inclined to go through the lightbox effect. All items are in front of you and you don’t need to navigate away for crucial information.

Blog/News
Instead of media and stuff, it has now moved to blogs. Which are more organized compared to the previous design. It also has strategy behind it and attractive photographs as thumbnails to grab user’s attention.

Media page – now includes Twitter and Instagram feed
On the social site, it is now automatically linked to the twitter site. So that it’ll update frequently whenever there’s new tweet or instagram post.

One of the most important page on website. It is now more straight forward, user will get the contact infomation they need quickly. Previously there is too many contact on the page which will cause confusion to users.
