NELA Homes came to Light Mattr looking for a modern website to raise interest for new developments they were in the process of building. The client wanted something that translated the look and feel of their buildings onto a web setting. Mobile friendliness was a primary concern, so potential buyers could use the site as a resource while they were out searching for houses.

One design limitation we encountered for the project was a result of the fact that the developments hadn't been completed yet, so we didn't have many images or media to work with.

The design process began with researching popular designs and navigation frameworks for real estate sites. We wanted to provide users a sense of where they are on the property as they searched through each of the units, so navigation was important to get right. The construction site map ended up coming in handy to solve this problem, as we could use it to communicate the placement of each unit on the property, as well as an interactive navigation tool.

We held weekly meetings with the client over a two and a half month period to complete both the design and development phases of the project.
