We can’t say enough about Black Ant Media’s talents and creativity. There is not a single competitors’ website that looks as professional as ours. Many clients have commented on how user-friendly and informative our site is. We are surprised by the number of leads we have received since the site was created. We couldn’t be happier with the final results.

Shortcut

For this project, we once again teamed up with our friends at EdgeCase and built an exciting, highly interactive site for finding apartments and tennants.
Black Ant Media was responsible for establishing the visual identity and creating the Shortcut logo. We also designed all of the pages and user interface elements. At the heart of the Shortcut experience is the interactive search tool. By specifying your budget range and desired apartment features, you get realtime feedback on matches in the system. The map features custom branding elements for the markers and zoom controls.
Each apartment is shown in a concise "tile" that gives a mini-dashboard view of it's pricing and features. Users are also able to view multiple photos of each apartment right within the tile, eliminating the need for navigating back and forth across pages.
