Real Estate Firm Polishes Image and Positioning with a Website Makeover
Business Challenge
The Stokes Group, a Philadelphia real estate agency, needed a makeover. Its website didn’t highlight new construction expertise (in a market bustling with new condo developments) nor did it convey the firm’s energy and personality.Important search functionality critical to a successful real estate site was also missing.
The client asked Bright Orange Thread for a web solution that would:
- Clearly communicate the firm’s core competencies
- Serve as the company’s primary lead generation vehicle
- Provide a platform for marketing activity
- Foster an image as a mover-and-shaker in the market
