Over the summer months, the Redman design team was hard at work with local Edmonton Realtors Ian and Chantel, creating a brand new Advantage site with a unique homepage.

Ian and Chantel had a very clear vision for their website, and wanted the best home searching experience possible for their clients. Their goal was to allow their website visitors to access almost any kind of MLS® System search directly from the homepage, using a simplified map that was instantly recognizable and easy to use. This led us to create their homepage search map that made it easy to begin searching the Edmonton MLS system for homes within the city, as well as rural homes in the surrounding counties.
We love how this map is styled to perfectly fit the look and feel of their website: it feels very integrated, and the simplified city-county structure makes it even easier to get to the relevant search. Areas highlight when your mouse rolls over them, and the smaller city and town “pins” also have rollover effects so you know exactly what you’re clicking on. And by clicking the City of Edmonton, the map changes to a simplified map showing the seven main areas of the city, allowing you to refine your search one more level.
All of these homepage searches take you to a form which let’s you filter your search results by price, number of rooms, square footage, and, with rural areas, even acres.
We had a fantastic time working with Ian and Chantel to create this great interface, and wish them luck with their new Advantage website!
