Identity & Branding: Website
Now that I have my logo I can put it to use in other identity and branding aspects for the company. I wanted to start with the website.
After completing some research into existing websites for estate agents I had a rough idea of how to layout the website, so started here.
I have gone for rectangles to divide the site but I am focusing on the top half which holds most of the important navigations and information. I am trying to decide on a typeface for the text used here but at the moment I am using Roman Serif by Manfred Klein, which I found when looking for a type for the logo. I am happy with the placement of the logo but after adding and removing items this may change. I have added a (made up) telephone number.
For imagery, I found two images of ‘country houses’ that I wanted to use from this site:

I will also want some social networking icons which I can get from flaticon.com
I wanted a sort of slogan for the company to sit at the top of the site. I have added (a very bad) one for now as a placeholder, but hopefully can come up with something better. I’ve also re-arranged the centre layout. Work in progress…
Identity & Branding: Research
Now that my next step is to design a website for the company, I have started researching into existing websites for estate agents. This research can be found below as a PDF.

I have made a second page for my website which would appear once users have signed in. I got all the infographics displayed on this page from http://www.coolinfographics.com/. My inspiration here was to create a similar layout to Pinterest to display a variety of infographics across the page.
