Real Estate Website Design Project

Client: Coldwell Banker US Virgin Islands

Project Overview: Create a website for Coldwell Banker US Virgin Islands to replace their aging, out-of-date website. Their site needed to serve many agents, and provide automatic listing imports from their MLS to show possible clients up-to-date listings and connect possible buyers with their agents.

The Project Ask

Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates, requested a website re-build for the US Virgin Island real estate affiliate, to update an old, out-of-date website, to a modern site that would automatically import and display MLS listings to the site, connect potential clients to their agents, and help show off the beautiful listings available on the islands.

  • The client needed a full web design consultation process to review requirements and determine the priorities and goals for the rebuilt website.
  • They needed integration with all of their agents so that all agent listings would be imported on a regular basis, and allow for agents to be contacted directly based on the listing.
  • The client wanted to be able to highlight particular listings, connect clients to their management portals, integrate direct chat functionality, and be able to use the website as a hub for their sales base.

The Process

Van Island Web met with the client to walk through our process, and gather additional information to the client to help plan the project and determine the budget needed to deliver the project. Van Island Web was able to answer all the questions, and provide potential options for additional items that the client was interested in pursuing, such as listing management and analytics reporting.

  • Discovery & Strategic Planning
    Van Island Web worked closely with the Coldwell Banker USVI team through initial discovery sessions to understand their business goals, MLS requirements, brand standards, and operational workflows. This ensured clear communication, alignment with Coldwell Banker branding, and a strong foundation for a scalable real estate website.
  • Defined Scope & Transparent Proposal
    Based on the discovery phase, we delivered a detailed project proposal outlining scope, deliverables, and optional enhancements. This allowed the client to select the features that best supported their brokerage needs while staying within budget, before formally kicking off development.
  • Infrastructure & Technical Setup
    We handled domain configuration, hosting setup, and server optimization in the background to ensure a smooth development process and reliable performance. This allowed the project to move forward efficiently once approvals were in place.
  • Design Mockups & UX Planning>
    Using existing branding assets, property imagery, and market positioning, we created design mockups focused on showcasing listings, improving property search usability, and reinforcing Coldwell Banker USVI’s premium brand presence. Mockups were reviewed and approved prior to development.
  • Custom Development & Responsive Build
    The website was developed to match the approved designs, with a strong emphasis on mobile responsiveness, fast load times, and intuitive navigation for buyers and sellers. Special care was taken to support MLS-driven property listings and real estate-specific user journeys.
  • Client Review, Refinements & QA
    After development, a private preview was shared with the client. Minor refinements and feedback were addressed promptly, followed by comprehensive testing across modern browsers and devices to ensure consistent performance.
  • Launch & Ongoing Support
    Once approved, the website was launched live. The Coldwell Banker USVI team was provided with access and guidance to manage day-to-day content updates, with Van Island Web remaining available for ongoing support, enhancements, and future optimization.

The Solution

Van Island Web delivered a modern, high-performance website that aligns seamlessly with Coldwell Banker USVI’s established brand standards while elevating their digital presence in a competitive real estate market.

The new website was designed with a mobile-first approach, ensuring a polished, intuitive experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, and optimized for modern browsers and performance best practices.

To support long-term reliability and scalability, Van Island Web also handled the technical foundation of the project, including domain configuration and a fully managed hosting environment, ensuring the site was secure, fast, and ready to support MLS-driven property listings and ongoing growth.
