Christie + Co m-Site goes live

November 7th, 2011 by Andy

Christie + Co mobile website

Commercial property agents Christie + Co approached us with the requirement that they needed to deliver a mobile-optimised website experience to an ever-increasing segment of mobile users.

We identified that by far the most crucial element of their site that should be geared up to mobile users was their extensive property search function and so we designed an interface with an easy-to-use search form taking pride of place on the homepage. Other important and highly trafficked areas such as latest news and office location information were also made easily accessible from the homepage.

The resulting mobile web app allows users to browse all of Christie + Co’s commercial properties, view further information,  larger images, plot it’s location on Google Maps and then contact the relevant regional office directly. By using a lightweight web framework, we were able to deliver an almost native app-like experience on smartphones, yet degrade the site to normal functionality on older handsets.
