I'm proud to share the recent rebrand & website design project I completed for Texas based realtor, Ben Wegmann. You can check out the completed project here: https://lnkd.in/e55_49BN Creating websites for realtors has to be a balance of function & aesthetics, unlike most industries where appearance is an after thought, for realtors everything has to be included in a way that doesn't overwhelm the viewer & also help sell more listings while at it. My major tips for web designers & realtors hiring web designers are 5 major things: 1. Always have a great hero section. 2. Show your most valuable listings. 3. Your reviews should be easy to see. 4. Your blog section should be a powerful SEO driver. 5. Integrate AI chat bots, MLS search & Virtual Home tours to make conversion easier. #realtorhouston #htxrealtor #ilovehouston #houstonrealtor® #cypresstx #westhouston #movetohouston #katytx #aboutme #houstonrealestate #buyingandselling #calitotexas #realestatewebsite #webdevelopment  #webdevelopment

I’d love to get your thoughts on some market trends. How are you seeing the below changes play out in Dallas? 💡The Interior Design Services Market is expected to grow from USD 137.93 billion in 2024 to USD 177.13 billion by 2029, with a 5.13% annual growth rate. 💡COVID-19 has really changed how we think about home spaces, with many individuals now redesigning their kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms, thereby affecting the interior design market. According to the American Society of Interior Designers, 51% of designers have adapted to the new normal. 💡More people are reimagining their living spaces, and brands are using augmented reality (AR) to help customers visualize furniture before buying. These technologies have practical applications, such as enabling consumers to visualize furniture placements in their homes prior to making purchases. 💡Globally, investments in real estate, especially in commercial and co-working spaces, are driving demand for interior design services. Many countries are increasing investments in tier 1 and tier 2 cities, leading to more opportunities for designers. Additionally, many architecture firms are now offering interior design services, with the industry still mainly focused in big cities. Let me know your insights!

Years ago, I was opposed to staging for houses. I thought that it was a waste of money. Now I realize it is a differentiating factor. Stating a house allows people to see themselves there. People need to envision what it’s like to wake up turn off their alarm, brush their teeth, eat breakfast watch the Super Bowl. Are you in real estate? What are your thoughts on staging? #Realestate #RealestateInvestment #Growth #SmallBusiness #SocialMedia

Yes! This is so true for interiors as well; It has to be functional first and then "beautiful, comfortable, organized." #fullservicedesign #interiordesignservices #homerenovationproject #interiordesign #womanownedbusiness #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #womensupportingwomen #bossbabes #gettingthingsdone

In a monumental development that's set to change the landscape of New Braunfels, Texas, a 50-acre project is all set to move forward after clearing a significant regulatory hurdle. This project, located at the gates of the iconic Gruene Historic District, definitely signals an exciting time for the local community and the development sector. Here are some insights on the development: - The 50-acre property carries the opportunity for coordinated efforts to revamp crucial urban infrastructure along the city’s prime historic chokepoint. - It signals an upswing in the construction industry, indicating bolder investor appetite for ambitious projects. - The expected influx of commerce and residency in this area stands to bolster the local economy at a more accelerated pace. As we look into the future, we can anticipate some potential ripple effects: - Sensitive and adaptive reuse of the site could see it transformed into an economical and social hub – adding another layer to the tourism magnet that is the Gruene Historic District. - Increased development can translate to rising housing prices, and therefore, might also echo a potential challenge for affordable housing in the region. - The heightened activity in the area can act as a catalyst for increased traffic along with it mildly impacting the charm of this historic district. Nothing promotes growth quite like successful urban development, and this project stands as a testament to the fact. However, the key lies in maintaining a delicate balance between modern needs and conservational interests. The onus is now upon the developers, planners, and the local community to translate the project’s potential into a progressive yet considerate upgrade for the Historic District. #UrbanDevelopment #HistoricalPreservation
