Case Study: Stay Galveston Real Estate — Real Geeks Sample Websites

Are you a Real Geeks client looking for Real Estate Website Designers?

We have been designing Real Geeks websites for years, improving user experience, brand awareness, conversions, and ensuring you stay relevant for years to come. We are excited to bring new luxury real estate web designs to the Real Geeks community in 2024, including this new website for StayGalvestonRE.com.

Creating a local Galveston, TX brand

Casey came to us with an extremely specific vision in mind — create a local brand for the Galveston area real estate market that was recognizable, unique, agent-centric, value proposition oriented, and most importantly — a site his clients actually want to use. He wanted his users to immediately feel the obsession with all things Galveston — so we added a looped video that perfectly encapsulates the Galveston area on the homepage.

Attracting the Right Real Estate Clients to the Real Geeks site

Like all the sites we do, we take the time to understand the local market, and what organic traffic is searching when beginning their journey to buy or selling a home. Surprisingly, all markets are different in some sense. Casey’s site required a hands on, in-depth approach to achieve his vision with his Real Geeks site. A template just wouldn’t do it. We had to execute the following:

• Keyword research of the Galveston, TX real estate market to reverse engineer the proper pages to attract the right traffic.

• Design strategic area pages with relevant call to actions and maintain order of importance with elements to ensure lowest bounce rates.

• Design a scalable, vectorized clickable map of Galveston that includes areas nearby in an intuitive way. See below.

• Conceptualize a “orange” toned color palette that would be memorable, unique, but also sleek + modern.

• Create a global rework of the many pages he already created.

• Ensure the sustainability of the site design structure so that Casey can continue to add content and grow the site.

• Mobile friendly is everything.

A completely custom experience tailored for the Galveston real estate market

Sometimes the most subtle things will invoke an incredibly high level of credibility. We wanted Casey to stand out amongst the sea of real estate agent websites in his area. We noticed that not one agent in his market had a clickable map. This adds a super unique touch to his site and ensures users can quickly find listings in the city they are looking in. As with all markets, Casey’s traffic is mainly mobile so this site was also designed with mobile in mind, ensuring that no matter the device, the user can easily click an area.

The other thing we needed to design was a completely, from scratch built search widget. This widget needed to guide the user through the Galveston market based on city, district, the specific view of the water, and a minimum price. The typical Real Geeks search experience wasn’t going to work — the final product works flawlessly.

A Mobile Friendly Real Geeks Site

We needed to make sure his website was mobile friendly, did not shift upon load, and had a premium user experience. Compared to his competition, he easily rises above with the most unique, sleek user experience.
