The challenge

Property sites live or die on imagery, and the interface usually fights it.

Competing colour, boxed layouts and specification crammed around the edges all reduce the one thing the visitor came for.

Opportunity

Get the interface out of the way

Restraint is the design decision.

The solution

Generous framing and restrained type.

Detail organised into a predictable place so the eye goes to the photography first and the specification second.

Design decision

Image-led layout

Photography sets the composition.

Generous framing and minimal chrome, so nothing competes with the property itself.

Outcome

A listing experience where the property leads.

And the interface supports rather than competes.
