Real Estate Branding and Website Design: House and Home

Real estate branding for House and Home Real Estate was completed prior to the website design.

Kathy Corey is a realtor and broker in North Texas. She launched her own brokerage in 2017. For the design she wanted a clean logo and her one request was that we work a dragonfly into the design.

First step is always gathering design inspiration:

The color palette was a beautiful combination of navy and lime green. The navy represents sophistication while the green brings in a sense of fun. The combination of fonts is a continuation of this combination of formal and comfort.

Real Estate Branding

The final design includes both a handwritten font and a serif font. The serif font ads structure while the handwritten font adds relatability to the logo design. The little detail of the dragonfly can be included or omitted depending on where and when the logo is being used.

We incorporated the dragonfly into the business card design and the listing signs. How fabulous does this yard sign look?

Real Estate Website Design

The House and Home Real Estate WordPress Website allows visitors to easily search listings throughout North Texas and connect with Kathy. The design is clean and simple to keep the attention on home listings.

Author Web Design: John R. Paine

This author web design for John R. Paine is a project I feel honored to have worked on. 

I met John when I was a junior in high school. Not long after his oldest daughter and I became fast friends.  Spending time at the Paine’s house is always so entertaining.

I can still remember the day, senior year of college, Amanda called to tell me that her dad had ALS. I had no idea what that was or exactly what that meant. She went on to tell me that John most likely had about 3-5 years to live.

Just over after 18 years after that phone call, John R. Paine, took on a new title: Author.

With the book release, he needed a website to serve as the hub for everything.

Author Web Design Project

Here is a look at a few of the interior pages on Author John R. Paine’s website:

A few years before the book came out a local organization, Fotolanthropy, did a documentary on John’s life. We, of course, wanted to be sure and include information about that on his website.

You can head to John R. Paine’s website to explore the site and find out even more about this remarkable man. There will be more information about this author web design project in the portfolio very soon.

Or, you can head to your favorite spot for buying books and purchase your own copy of The Luckiest Man!

Website Design: Mosquito Steve

As I write this post I am sitting on my back patio enjoying the gorgeous unexpected cold (for June) weather in Dallas. I also have Mosquito Steve Repellent on and can can tell you that this stuff works! Mosquitos fly close to me but never land on me which means I am not being eaten alive.

I love that Mosquito Steve’s products are all natural, composed mainly of essential oils. This means it is safe for both kids and pets.

Prior to working with Steve on the redesign of his website last year, I had never tried his products. I’ve still only tried the DEET-free Mosquito Repellent but now it is the only mosquito repellent I use.

On the site we included a very extensive FAQs page to answer all of your questions about mosquitos and the products he offers.

There is also a list of service providers if you would like to have your yard treated for mosquitos.

We made purchasing products from the website is quick and easy. All of the products are on a single page so that you do not have to search for them. We want each customer to have a seamless experience on this e-commerce website.

Website Design: Roll eBike

The website design for Roll eBike was the first project I worked on with Claire Attkisson.  Since completing the Roll eBike website project Claire and I continue to work on additional website projects together.

Roll eBike is an Electric Bike Rental Business located in Durango, Colorado. Roll offers a variety of eBikes for rent to residents and visitors of Durango. eBikes are a great way to get outside and experience the town like a local!

On the home page of the website we use movement to help keep site visitors attention. Various text elements slide in or up and the images in the background scroll as you scroll through the page. With the focus of the site on electric bikes creating a sense of movement on the website felt like a necessary element of the design.

If you want to experience the movement on the website, visit the Roll eBike Website.

In addition to learning about eBikes, the site allows visitors to book their eBike rental for their trip quickly and easily from their phone, tablet or desktop.

At Roll eBike Renting is Easy

As you can see from above there are several bikes to choose from and you can rent the bike for as long as you need. I think it is so cool that there is a tandem bike available for rent talk about a fun and unique date idea!

I love when projects allow me to learn something new. Prior to working on this website design project I knew very little about eBikes. In addition to that, I also gained a friend and colleague in Claire. I can’t wait to share the details of our other projects with you. So stay tuned for that!
