Kipling Realty

The challenge: Build a full-featured corporate real estate site in six weeks. It will need all new graphics. It must be easily edited by a non-technical client and, oh yeah, it needs to be in three languages. That's a pretty tall order as we've seen website development take a year or more in some cases.

Kipling Realty is a successful real estate company and they needed to establish and appropriate web presence - fast. The company is run by Richard Geurts and Stephen Lewis and has built up a significant portfolio of residential and retail properties including the village at Mont Tremblant.

Kipling hired Chad Ming to design the webiste. To provide a flexible Content Management System, we used an open source software called Concrete5. As this site had to be developed in three languages, ease of use in making content changes was essential. With this system, it's now easy for a non-technical person to login and make changes to any page.

This easily editable content framework also allowed us to add in Space Database features such as interactive maps and marketing drawings. And of course we used QR codes on business cards to link to contact pages on the website.

We congratulate Kipling Realty on their new site. We think it looks terrific!
