Occupa

As an established commercial property consultant in London, the Occupa flagship website needed a full design refresh to modernise the brand, reorganise a vast amount of content and improve SEO opportunities.

Design

Large sweeping background and banner imagery accompanied by transparent rich blue, gold and grey overlays on feature pages and simple soft grey page layouts on all sub-pages establish an easy to navigate browsing experience. The main menu is extensive, linking to every page (some 64 pages) on the site. Embedded third party property search filters and live property listings results are the main attraction at the top of every page.

Function

Testimonial

Alex Reuben‘s thoughts on the website and working together with Follyfox Design:

Testimonial for Occupa Rita is fantastic. She turns work around quickly. She has far more attention to details than I have experienced with other website designers and treats the website she is creating as if it were for her own company. I now have 2 beautiful looking slick websites that are easy and welcoming for new visitors to navigate. Hopefully this will reduce our bounce rate, increase the time new visitors spend on our website and convert them to customers. I have very high expectations and Rita has met these. Rita has fully understood what I am trying to achieve. I am a demanding client and really value when she challenges some of my ideas with suggestions for a different direction. She really cares about the end product / result. An excellent website designer / artist. Thank you Follyfox Design. Thank you Rita.
