Site launch for Ideal Suburban Homes

We just launched the Ideal Suburban Homes site yesterday, and we’re all very excited to see it in action! It’s one of the most detailed sites we’ve done yet.

Utilizing the power of the Expression Engine content management system (our CMS of choice), we wanted to make sure we had an attractive, functional website for this organization that makes and sells attractive, functional homes.

Ideal Homes has built more than 35 communities around northeast Indiana, and is unrivaled in their craftmanship, style and stability. They came to us wanting a system with highly-connected relationship matrix for its data: Realtors, prices, floorplans, locations, communities, and more. On top of that, they needed something highly visual with an eye-catching design. We got our good friend Matt at Matt Ayers Photography to take some amazing snapshots of these homes.

A sampling of the features of this site:

Filter homes by number of bedrooms, bathrooms, price, square footage, and more
View homes in a list or a map
News and events listings
FAQ page for current or soon-to-be homeowners
A detailed testimonial page and the ability to submit your own, and reference your home community and/or realtor
A payment calculator
Share homes, communities and floor plans via email or social network
Get agent information from the house pages

One of our favorite functionalities is the banner that pops down when you click the “View our Communities” button at the top. Sometimes we just sit at our desks and click it. Try it out for yourself!
