The Design
A slider that displays different Client Testimonials on the homepage helps to establish the visitors’ confidence in the brand, without taking up too much space on the website.
The homepage also includes a search form so that visitors can easily get started searching for a property as soon as they arrive at the homepage. Beneath the search form are helpful categories to help those visitors who may need some guidance on how to begin with buying or selling a premises or business.
As well as the form on the homepage to help visitors search for property, each property category also has its own search page allowing visitors to search by type, location, and sorting results by other specifications including price range.
The search results page allows users to refine their search easily, and each listing displays the listing’s details in an attractive layout.
Each listing, when clicked from the search results, brings up its own listing page with the property’s details. Dedman Gray are able to upload photos of the property which the user can scroll through at their leisure. Each property can easily be shared via the social icons on the side. And making an enquiry about the property couldn’t be simpler, thanks to the clear call-to-action buttons and contact details.
Visitors are also able to click on Particulars under Resources to open or download a printable PDF brochure of the property listing. The Floor Plan image and EPC, when clicked, opens up the image on-page so that visitors can see the image’s information and close it again when they’re done.
The Dedman Gray contact page presents straight-forward information on how to contact Dedman Gray, their opening hours and even an embedded Google interactive map so that the visitor can find directions on how to travel to Dedman Gray’s offices.
An integrated blogging platform provides a way for Dedman Gray to inform their clients and visitors with the latest news and events, that can easily be shared via the social icons on the side.
Dedman Gray’s new website, like all of Silkstream’s websites, will even work perfectly when being browsed from any mobile device thanks to our responsive website design! The website’s layout adjusts to the screen resolution to ensure that the visitor sees a layout optimised to their device no matter what device they’re browsing from. This means that Dedman Gray’s potential clients will be able to locate all the information they want, and search for property as easily as they could on a desktop, without the hassle of inconvenient multi-directional scrolling. Navigation made easy!
The header menu is hidden behind a tap of the top menu button , ensuring that the website’s content doesn’t clutter the user’s mobile screen. Dedman Gray’s logo remains at the top to maintain brand recognition while the user is browsing the website.
