[ Business context ]

Our client recognized the necessity to establish a distinct online presence through a dedicated portfolio website.

With approximately 30-35 exquisite properties already in their portfolio, the client sought to transition from reliance on third-party platforms to a professional, centralized platform.

Faced with limitations in customization and control over their listings, the client turned to Onix. They needed a solution that would elevate their brand image, streamline operations, and provide a seamless experience for tenants.

Additionally, the client expressed concerns about the lack of multilingual support on existing platforms, to cater to international customers effectively.

Furthermore, they wanted a platform that could showcase their properties and engage users with interactive features like map integration.

The Onix team faced the following challenges:

Our solutions

To address the challenges we outlined above, we delivered a tailored website that is elegant, modern, yet functional. Here is what we did:

Research

Onix performed in-depth research into industry trends, best practices, and user preferences. This allowed us to ensure that our design approach aligned with current standards and user expectations.

The research also involved analyzing competitor apps, exploring similar platforms, and identifying common approaches to UI design.

Moodboard creation

We developed a moodboard to capture the desired feeling and impression that the website should evoke. And it provided a visual reference to guide the design process and align with the client's expectations.

Clickable prototype development

We developed a clickable prototype to represent user interface and interaction flow. This allowed for early feedback and iteration, ensuring that the final product met the client's requirements and expectations.

UX/UI design

Our designers considered competitor designs and the client's vision to create a user-friendly and visually appealing interface.

We prioritized simplicity, elegance, and functionality to ensure a seamless browsing experience.

Creation of graphic designs

We crafted graphic designs for key pages such as the homepage, search results page, property listing, property details page, contact, and about pages.

Our design team focused on creating a cohesive visual style that reflected the luxury of the rental properties while maintaining simplicity and clarity.

Webflow development

Onix carried out Webflow development to bring the designs to life. Additionally, we implemented map integration to enhance the user experience and facilitate property location discovery.
