The project
For a successful real estate agent, it becomes harder and harder to stay up to date with new listings, new clients, and the never ending process of showing homes. To maintain a strong level of client care and attention, the need arose to develop a web site that would meet their most common needs.
I began this project by identifying and focusing on the target users for this site. Through user research, he was then able to create "persona's" for the most common users and their real estate needs.
The result
By developing persona's for the site's users and tasks, the prototyping process was streamlined to allow for maximum code time. Built initially in XHTML and then integrated into Wordpress' PHP file structure, the site transitioned smoothly into its CMS home.
The final stages of this project included integrating and testing the dsIDX MLS plug-in, in order to access the most recent MLS data. Finally, I administered a task-based user group test that provided pertinent feedback about the site's usability and overall design.
