Craig Ackerman is a high-powered San Francisco realtor who needed a high-powered real estate site. Lauren Deane Evans of Good Looking Ideas and Likoma teamed up to put the Estate theme (by WOO Themes) to the test.
With Lauren on the team, you know we’re going to have a clean, professional, and “branded” site. We paid attention to the details that Craig’s clientele would pay attention to. For example, not just allowing the images to be auto-resized (or auto-cropped), but taking the time to go through the manual cropping process in Photoshop to make sure that all of these thumbnails looked just right (see the San Francisco Properties page).
Craig’s real added value comes in the work he does to turn around what seem to be “average” homes and make them sparkle. His Case Studies pages do just that. Here we used the powerful uBillboard slideshow plugin for WordPress and we can create as many sliders as we need.
Hi,
I LOVE the real estate website you created.
I particularly like the homepage with the sliding images and text about the company.
How did you create this – did you need to add in a plugin?
I’m currently playing with the Woo Estate theme (haven’t purchased yet) and if I could recreate the look of your homepage, I’ll buy the theme – happy to use your affiliate link, if you have one.
Thanks very much and best wishes for Christmas!
Nice clean site. Cheers.
Wow your website just reaches out and pulls me into the pages. I feel like I am actually at the home owner property. Great pictures, excellent property descriptions and satellite mapping.
I like the work you did with the Estate theme, and it works excellently with the Ackerman Realty site. Good work!
Nice site and nice theme. Is this theme available to buy?
It is a beautiful theme, isn’t it!? Yes, it’s available over at WOO Themes. It’s called Estate.
