The Lazy H Ranch Project | Jul 22, 08:32 AM

The second of our big releases this month is a property site for The Lazy H Ranch.

Earlier this month we were approached by Howlyn Properties to help them create a new site to showcase a vacation ranch property for sale near beautiful Vail, Colorado. They wanted to keep with the structure of a previous property site, but build upon the structure to make it more appealing to their selling demographic and to provide key information to potential investors.

We set out to create a rustic western colour palette with dark browns and tarnished yellows for the new site. Then we imposed some lumography photoshop elements on selected photos to give them a vibrant nostalgic feel – with a goal of showcasing the down-home western comfort and livability which exudes out of The Lazy H Ranch property.

The next step was to build upon the chosen site structure, by incorporating a simple jquery image slider and a fancybox gallery for the photos of the property. Each of these enhancements was developed to showcasing the lush qualities of this stunning property.

The final major enhancement to the site was to build customized Google maps which would give users a true understanding of the location of the property in relationship to amazing wealth of winter and summer activities in the Vail Valley. We built custom maps to showcase the world class ski hills and top notch golf courses in the area.

Over the next few weeks we will be working with Howlyn Properties and their Realtor Team Black Bear, to tailor the SEO components of the new site and to help promote the property to potential investors.

It was a pleasure to work with both companies and we wish them all the best with the project.
