Intro
Waterfront Properties is a premier real estate agency specializing in luxury homes across South Florida’s coastal communities. Their website plays a central role in showcasing exclusive listings and attracting high-value buyers, but the digital experience needed a fresh, modern approach to match the sophistication of their brand.
This project highlights the visual and strategic decisions made to enhance their online presence — from refining the brand elements to creating a more intuitive, elegant, and conversion-focused website experience.

Logo Design
The Waterfront Properties logo features a refined, coastal-inspired design that communicates luxury, stability, and a connection to the water. The icon is built from a stylized architectural structure—suggestive of a modern shoreline home. This element create a balanced visual harmony between real estate and waterfront living.
A gradient of deep to light blue reinforces the maritime identity, transitioning from a rich #1B66AA to a lighter #74AEE2. The combination evokes clarity, trust, and a serene coastal atmosphere. The typography is bold, geometric, and confident, complementing the icon with a clean, upscale presence suitable for a premium real estate brand.
Color Palette
The brand palette is inspired by the natural tones of the ocean and shoreline. Deep Navy Blue is the primary color, symbolizing depth, reliability, and high-end service.
It is complemented by Aqua Blue accents that capture the freshness and movement of water, adding a vibrant and contemporary touch. Neutral tones such as white and soft gray provide balance, ensuring the overall look stays clean, luxurious, and easy to navigate.

Overview

The visual direction draws directly from the brand’s identity—featuring crisp whites, deep ocean blues, and refined accents—to ensure the site feels fresh, trustworthy, and premium. The goal is to provide users with a smooth experience from the first impression through property discovery and inquiry.
