CLIENT OBJECTIVE
Monika Merinat is a highly successful Toronto-based entrepreneur with a current focus on Real Estate. Monkia required a website to promote listings to new and prospective clients. The challenge was to build something functional, easy for her to use as a non-developer, and aesthetically appropriate for the Monika Merinat brand.
The website needed to provide:
- Details about Monika Merinat Realty and the services offered to buyers and sellers
- A robust portal for listings including image galleries, maps, technical specs of the property and detailed notes
- A place to share testimonials of clients and updates for the business
CHALLENGE
Monika had worked closely with JIG Technologies in the past as IT partners for their restaurant business. She knew that JIG would be a good fit to realize her vision, but most importantly, create a website that she would be able to use and update on her own without the constant requirement of a developer. The site had to be intuitive to use on the back and front end, fast, and provide her with the confidence that it was something she could manage and grow.
SOLUTIONS
The decision to use WordPress was agreed upon due to its user-friendly admin panel and numerous custom themes with built-in functions that complement the look, feel and professionalism required by the client. Through extensive research and communication with the client prior to embarking on the project development, we were able to work more efficiently and keep the budget well within range to provide a final product that has more than satisfied the requirements of the project.
