““Our goal was simple: a search-able database of properties with helpful home search tools. We also needed a flexible content management system that would allow us to easily update the site with new properties, market information, and more. Your Marque executed our vision with perfection – it’s easy to use, our clients love the search tools, and the return on investment for the site has far exceeded our expectations.”
- Gus R., Founder
Red Home Realty

Vision

As a new player in a competitive local market, Red Home Realty needed a website that offers useful features unavailable with their competitors and an easy-to-use interface that focuses on captivating and capturing visitors.  But perhaps most importantly, they needed a system with easy-to-use content management and search capabilities to ensure that they could continuously update the site and provide up-to-the minute property information without having to constantly deal with developers.  This was a start-to-finish project that started with logo design and went all the way through SEO and blog design efforts to increase visibility of the finished project.

“We wanted our visitors to be able to find what they need, when they need it, without flashy graphics or complex menus. Your Marque perfectly executed our vision, creating a site as easy to use as it is visually effective. Our users praise us for providing the best property search tools in our market, and Your Marque’s content management system that makes it easy to keep our info up to date. The new site does more than just represent our brand – it connects us with our customer base, generates new leads, and puts our best foot forward online. We couldn’t have asked for more.”
- Patrick C., VP of Operations
West Campus Living

Vision

As a major player in a niche market, West Campus Living needed a website that stands out from the competition while remaining client-focused and easy-to-use.  They also needed the best content management and search capabilities in their market to ensure that they’d stay ahead of the pack as their competitors attempted to catch up on the web.  This was a start-to-finish project beginning with logo design and ending with SEO and PPC efforts to increase visibility of the finished project.

“We needed a solid lead-generating website as the hub of our national sales campaign for The Greatest Minds, and Your Marque understood that our bottom line was ROI – if the site didn’t help us generate sales leads, it didn’t matter how good it looked. Their emphasis on easy-to-find contact forms and our national Golden Ticket contest, coupled with their SEO efforts to put us in front of our audience, lead to increased traffic and more tickets sold. We’re extremely happy with the site and highly recommend Your Marque.”

- Mike K., CEO
The Greatest Minds

Vision

The Greatest Minds was created to inspire high-acheiving high school students to get a head start on their future by attending a lecture series in New York City featuring some of the best and brightest Ivy League professors doing research in cutting edge fields.  But the website needed to do more than convey the quality of the speakers and the prestige of acceptance for the event – it needed to encourage visitors to submit their applications and request information on their first visit.  This project picked up after the initial logo design and branding, and completed the site as well as implemented the ongoing SEO and PPC efforts.

• Website design and implementation
• Application submission system
• Blog setup and integration
• Search Engine Optimization and PPC management

The Results

The Greatest Minds website is now fully operational and over 500 students have utilized the submission form to submit application and test score information for consideration in the program – you can check out the finished project here.

“As our company continued to grow, it became evident that having a great website was no longer something we could put off. Budget was important, but Your Marque was creative in their approach and speedy in their implementation. They went above and beyond simply translating our instructions to the page and took the time to really understand what we needed the site to do for our users – the result blew us away and worked for our budget.”

- Fred M., President / Founder

“Our old website just wasn’t cutting it. It was presentable to a certain degree, and it clearly had our contact information, but we just weren’t getting the leads we had hoped for. Your Marque did a website redesign and the results were outstanding – not only does the site look great and feel very user-friendly, but we’ve seen dramatic increases in our online visibility as a result of their search engine optimization and site map improvements. Bottom line: we’re getting more leads and closing more deals thanks to a sharp (and smart) website redesign by Your Marque.”

- Dereck J., Marketing Director
The Allandale

Vision

As a high-profile residential property, the Allandale already had moderate name recognition, and the location of the property meant there was a stable, if small, amount of lead traffic to the site. But as sales stagnated the project needed a boost. The Allandale needed a full website redesign not just because the existing site was lacking in visual appeal, but because the success of the project depended on attracting new traffic and getting new leads. With improved search engine optimization, better flow and usability, and a sharp new look, the new website resulted in increased traffic, more leads, and more closed deals.

“After exploring a variety of subscription CRM services, we determined that in terms of scalability, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness we could probably do better by creating a more streamlined CRM system for real estate agents with only the features we needed. The Your Marque team did an excellent job of translating this objective into the most intuitive and effective CRM we’ve ever used – and with a fresh, clean look too. Zeebah has helped our company become more efficient and better serve and retain our client base.”

- Aaron B., City President

But in this down real estate market we realized that using every tool at our disposal was key to making sure we met our sales goals. After getting a detailed quote from Your Marque, we decided to hire them for a full package – everything from logo design to the finished website. We’re thrilled with the results – the site is gorgeous, the features are powerful and easy to use, and we’ve been impressed by the lead traffic and positive visitor feedback.”

- Herman C. Developer
Renaissance Properties

Vision

New kids on the green-building block, Riverside Grove needed an online boost to ensure that their product would sell out quickly even amidst a troubled real estate market. With a new website from Your Marque (as well as full brand development and a content management system), Riverside Grove was able to become highly visible in just a few months, and the site encourages repeat traffic and makes life easy for the salespersons. Among the many features on the lead-generating site are a searchable database, easy-to-use graphical availability tools, an impressive photo and video gallery, and consistent calls-to-action that have lead to excellent rates of user interaction.

The Results

Riverside Grove now generates consistent lead traffic with the website, and is currently in the pre-sales phase of the project. Construction is already underway and is schedule for completion next year, but online visibility has enabled the project to garner early attention and generate a sizable visitor list.

“We had never undertaken a joint web development effort, but Your Marque made it easy to collaborate and get our project done better and faster. They worked with our existing framework and with an additional design firm to get the project completed in advance of our deadline, and we’re very pleased with the results. Your Marque brought their expertise in the area of eCommerce and user search to help us build a website that makes it effortless for our clients throughout the country to sign up for services and purchase products. We’re happy with our decision to go with Your Marque.”

DormAid

Vision

As the leading national college services provider, DormAid provides laundry, cleaning, data backup, storage, delivery, and a variety of other services and products to busy college students at more than 60 campuses nationwide. Their website is the focal point of their sales strategy, and allowing students to search for their school and get an easy-to-navigate display of available services and prices is the primary focus of the site. In addition to the clean front-end interface, DormAid also needed a content management system that was scalable and allowed the number of schools and the number of services and products offered to expand without limit as the company grew. The current website meets these challenges and has enabled DormAid to stay at the top of their market and continue to expand to additional campuses throughout the United States.

They were able to work within our budget and go off of our existing framework but designed a new look that’s a solidly built as it is attractive – their search engine optimization techniques have made us more visible, and our tenants really enjoy our new resident portal. The redesign has helped our business get to the next level and the increase in web traffic and new leads has more than paid for the costs of the redesign. Your Marque did an excellent job despite the constraints of our budget.”

- John O., President
The Property Society

Vision

The Property Society was already a successful management and investment firm serving Central Austin, but the existing website was holding them back. Because the website is a primary point of contact for new clients as well as the primary method of contact for residents, it was imperative that a redesign take place that focused on two critical factors: online visibility for lead generation and usability for new and existing visitors. The redesign gave them the confidence to utilize the website as the client building tool it needed to be. The Property Society is now well-equipped to expand their business and continue to succeed as major players in the Austin real estate and property management business.

• Content management system
• User-friendly search engine

“We were searching for an invoice and billing system to meet the needs of our busy leasing and sales office. The most critical features we needed were an easy-to-use submission system for agents, a content management system to update users and clients, and a detailed and customizable reporting function for our administrators. Invoice Smart perfectly meets our needs and enables us to focus on closing deals instead of on dealing with invoicing after the fact. It’s quick and easy, it’s aesthetic and fun to use, and it just works.”

- Chad M., VP of Technology
Rojo Partners

Vision

As a major brokerage in the Austin, TX area, Rojo Partners needed a solution to a growing problem – invoicing and billing had become a complicated and exhausting process, AR was a constant and growing concern, and individual agents and their brokers had no way of easily tracking performance in such a way as to facilitate an ongoing dialogue and track agent’s goals. Invoice Smart allows for unlimited scalability – administrators are able to add new agents or vendors at the touch of a button – as well as the ability to track the progress of each individual agent, the company as a whole, and the outstanding payments to ensure that payments are received quickly and agents are kept in the loop.

• Logo design
• Website design and implementation
• Content management system
• Search Functionality
• Reporting and Graphing Capabilities
