About the client: Helios Realty & Development is a commercial real estate services company founded in 2005 by a group of experienced real estate professionals seeking to deliver a higher standard of one-to-one service to real estate owners, investors, developers and tenants in the greater Chicagoland area. Helios also owns a full-service residential sales and marketing business, which operates under the banner of Real Living Helios Realty as a member of a national franchise network. Further, the Helios group of companies includes a development/investment operation and a construction consulting/general contracting business.
Requirements: Helios’s Mr. Andrew Magliochetti described the desired website as a classic presentation website, with no “out of the box” features, but driven by a fully loaded Content Management System so his team and him could be able to modify, at any time, every bit of the website. They also needed a Loopnet application to be integrated into the website for users to check out available properties in specific areas.
Solution: The layout we designed is specific to corporate real estate websites, that need to look sharp, nicely lined up and, most important, well defined. For the back end we have used the classical LAMP solution, that integrates specific functionalities for: content, news and photo gallery administration, newsletter layout, content and users management and Loopnet API management.
