In partnership with the fantastic development house Steadfast Collective, Lobo collaborated with Enclave, a luxury build-to-rent company, to revitalise their online presence with a sophisticated real estate web design that accurately represents their premium brand.
Lobo focused on a luxurious user interface and enhanced user experience, and Steadfast worked to seamless integrate with marketing and lead generation tools, and Realpage PMS. Together we successfully elevated Enclave’s market positioning and influencing a significant increase in site-wide conversions.
The Problem
Enclave’s initial website failed to effectively convey the luxury and expanse of their luxury rental properties, resulting in a subpar user experience for potential clients exploring their offerings. The outdated design, difficult navigation, and lack of mobile optimisation hindered customer engagement, while insufficient integration with marketing and lead generation tools limited their ability to grow and attract new clients.
The Solution
Our team conducted a thorough analysis of Enclave’s target audience, brand identity, and luxury rental market to identify areas for improvement. We then devised a comprehensive website redesign strategy, focusing on three main components: a luxurious user interface, enhanced user experience, and scalability of the site as new sites opened in the future.
Luxurious User Interface—
Our designers crafted a visually captivating interface that aligned with Enclave’s upscale brand image. By employing sophisticated typography, clean lines, and an elegant colour palette, we conveyed a sense of refinement and luxury. High-quality images and videos showcasing the properties and their amenities were strategically integrated throughout the website, immersing visitors in the lavish lifestyle offered by Enclave.
Improved User Experience—
To ensure a seamless browsing experience, we restructured the website’s architecture and applied UX best practices and path to purchase flows. The team organised content into intuitive taxonomies, allowing users to easily locate the information they needed. User-friendly navigation menus, clear calls-to-action, and responsive we designs were implemented to guarantee a consistent experience across devices. The property search feature was enhanced with filters and an interactive map, enabling users to effortlessly discover their ideal rental.
Scalability—
Each location promoted it’s own sub brand style to give each building it’s own personality. By getting to know each area of the properties we were able to align the design and experience of the different locations to the expected and desired target audiences whilst keeping a consistent and intuitive website architecture.
“We had the pleasure of working with Lobo on the design of our new build-to-rent (real estate) portfolio website. The process was smooth, well-structured and we felt confident that the team ‘got’ our brand and objectives from the start. They helped steer the digital application of our brand vision, carefully considered the user journey, interrogated competitor sites and challenged us where required, to produce a product that’s best-in-class. We’re delighted with the end result – thank you!”
