- Solution:
- An elegant graphic design combined with subtle flash elements and a powerful database allows Exclusive Properties to showcase their available properties on the web as well as other interactive components.
Concepts & Planning:
Exclusive Properties located in Scottsdale, Arizona primarily deals with luxury high-end homes. They were looking for a site that not only looked great but was equally functional as well. NetCraft discussed the desired features of the site as well as the 'look' they wanted to achieve. Graphical sketches were shown until we were able to finalize the design of the site. Website front and back-end features were discussed in detail to make sure we had all of the specifications as accurate as possible. With many years of web design experience we know that there will be changes made during the development process, however these can be limited with comprehensive project planning.
User Interface Features:
The Exclusive Properties of Arizona web site includes many useful user features including:
- Property Listings: Users can search based on a range of criteria the available properties and lots offered exclusively by Exclusive Properties. Each individual listing consists of informative details, a flash picture scroll interface, location map, virtual tour and brochure.
- Communities: Client defined community information and Flash picture scroll interface.
- MLS Search: Interface with the Multiple Listing Service to perform searches on all available real estate listed with MLS.
- Agent search and informative Scottsdale information page and Scottsdale Flash image scroll interface.
Content Management System & Back-end Feature Set:
The Content Management System built for Exclusive Properties of Arizona by Net-Craft included a wealth of useful client features including:
- Content Manager: The administrator can upload the specific images to be used in the home page flash scroll. The text for the home page, about us, and About Scottsdale can be defined in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor.
- Listing Manager: The administrator can add, edit and mange every element including images and text that make-up a home or lot listing. Items can be marked as active or inactive as well as sold or pending.
- Community Manager: The administrator can add and manage community text and the images associated with that community.
- Our Agents Manager: CMS module that allows the administrator to upload agent information and photo.
- About Scottsdale Manager: The About Scottsdale Manager allows the client to add text in a WYSIWYG editor as upload images to be used in the Flash image scroll.
- User Manager: The administrator can define usernames and passwords of agents that will have access to the back-end client extranet. Users with such access can log-in with their username and password and access files uploaded by the primary site administrator. Examples of such files include logo files, contract templates, maps, and other internal business forms.
- File Manager: The File Manger is where the administrator of Exclusive Properties of Arizona can upload the specific files he wants to be available for extranet users. A folder hierarchy creation and management system is supported allowing for easy file organization.
