Maggie Dixon Real Estate
// Web Design & Development
The Project
Maggie Dixon is a real estate company specialising in Whangarei property sales. The company has a unique character and a strong following of repeat customers. Their 'Think Yellow' branding is seen everywhere in Whangarei, from the fleet of yellow cars to the bright yellow moving van which is free for clients.
Content management and a web design to express this unique personality and branding was required, including an audio player to play the regular radio show featuring Maggie Dixon.
At the back end, the site needed to connect to the real estate software they use for sales and property management - Real NZ Software and Console . Properties automatically uploaded from Real NZ Software can be selected for featuring on the home page within the content management system. Full search of properties including search of open homes is another feature.
Good SEO functionality within the CMS allows the site to be easily optimised by setting automatic page titles and meta tags which can then be edited. The website has now been live for 6 months, and is seeing a steady stream of visitors with good page views and time on site.
As of April 28, 2010, Maggie Dixon Real Estate is the first real estate agency in the North Island to receive the Real Estate Best Practice Accreditation, a process requiring an intensive audit and only awarded to the top 10% best performing real estate offices in Australia & New Zealand.
What the client said
When we started looking for someone to create a new web site for us rather than just upgrading what we had, I spent a considerable amount of time investigating potential designers. Phosphor was the only company that ticked all the boxes for the criteria we had set. Study of other websites they have created showed a great attention to capturing the “feeling” of the client and their business which was critical to us as it forms a huge part of our culture and philosophy. The team spent a lot of time extracting the information that they needed to do the job properly and spent an entire day at our location to be sure that they understood our culture before proceeding with any design. To say we are happy would be an understatement, they have exceeded our expectations and continue to advise us on improvements and changes that we could make to improve our hit rates on a regular basis, which shows the long term commitment they have to producing the best, not only today but tomorrow as well. I am delighted to recommend their services to any person, group or company that is looking for a web presence second to none with a back up team that will ensure that your site remains at the pinnacle of web design.Graham Lester I Maggie Dixon Real Estate
