Executing The Plan
Apartment Guys of Chicago needed a new site infastructure, and updated brand identity. Following the client prompts, we crafted a simple brand refresh affecting a clean and modern mark. Once the new identity, colors and fonts were established; the second phase of the project was to map and then redefine the Chicago Apartment Guys requirements.
We decided to combine both Nova and Wordpress technologies to provide Apartment Guys of Chicago easy access to managing both the front-end of their website, and a more robust administrative backend for their property inventories.
Development & Design →
Using the client's color requests, we produced a clean and simple user interface for the Apartment Guys of Chicago front-end redesign. The website not only provides listings and property details to apartment seekers, but also provides landlords with tools to submit their properties directly into the administration software we produced. Using Laravel Nova, the client admin portal provides a wealth of features and filters to allow for managing properties, neighborhoods, media and more.
We leveraged Nova to rapidly deploy the Apartment Guys of Chicago administration system. This cut development time in half, and allowed us to customize the software to meet our client's needs
