A Place to Sell your Co-op

Posted in: Projects, Uncategorized, Websites by Paul McEwan on March 30, 2010 | No Comments

The Client: Jay Peterson as part of RE/MAX Real Estate Services

Project Description: A Website for Jay Peterson’s Only Co-ops website

To be a Realtor that sells co-ops and market to this audience is a Realtor who understands niche marketing. This niche is not related to a geographical area like traditional “farm” areas. Co-ops are all over the lower mainland and Vancouver. MyRealPage allows the Realtor to dig for and display only their particular niche. This type of “Deep Search” display is available to all myRealPage customers as well as the ability to add the custom icons on the map that display the listings as you can see in the Only Co-ops website. Onlyco-ops.com

Menu removed from home page to direct traffic and help speed decision making process. A simple and non-spam mortgage calculator added to every page. Website widened. Map search for co-ops.

Ben Chimes Realtor Website

Posted in: Projects, Uncategorized, Websites by Paul McEwan on February 22, 2010 | 1 Comment

The Client: Ben Chimes (Vancouver real estate)

Project Description: Widen the website from 750px to 960px.  Alter the existing website colours, links and fonts and reformat content areas from a standard template to a template that  matches the branding. Re-design blog with large date titles and friendly navigation.

Client Testimonial: “A big shout out to @tribalyell. Everyone who has seen the new site loves it…I am HAPPY. He is the man!”

What makes this project interesting is that it’s the first website on TribalYell’s portfolio that is not completely custom. It is an edit of an existing myRealPage template with tools provided inside the client’s login. MyRealPage lets the website owner make significant changes without having to hire a designer or marketing person. Although we have a number of packages for template editing, we don’t do a lot of them unless the Realtor is too busy to do it themselves, which is the case with Ben Chimes.

Not a bad design to start with. Adjusted by him already.

Wider layout, text and background reversed, styling to many dynamic areas.

Robert Crowe logo and market branding

Posted in: Logo Design, Print Media, Projects, Uncategorized, Websites by Paul McEwan on February 13, 2010 | No Comments

The Client: Robert Crowe (RE/MAX Real Estate Services)

Project Description: Create a personal logo mark and content copy. Brand it onto all requested marketing materials.

Robert Crowe has been in the real estate business along time and had decided it was time to get authentic with marketing. It’s one thing to look good but it’s another thing entirely to look good in a way that authentically attracts the eyes who will relate specifically to you. Also, content writing about who he is needed to be created. We’re not talking sales writing but a story of where he came from and what’s important to him. Without getting into the reasons of why this works here, it’s important to know that this works. Video blogs might work the same way for those who want to do that every day. Day in day out. Video blogging is not Robbert Crowe.

The Website
Not pictured but worth a look is, of course, the website layout we did on an Ubertor template and implemented by an Ubertor approved vendor/designer, The Marketing Guy. We design for most real estate website platforms.

Pre-printed Shells
We still do a lot of these too. Postcard shells. These are printed full colour, single sided on a 12pt coated stock leaving  the back blank for imprinting content. An average imprint is about 1500 pieces. Since you’re going to ask: 10,000 shells as described above runs about $700. The more you get, the better the price.
