Shea Homes San Diego

For any homebuilder, a standout website is crucial for a successful community launch. For Shea Homes San Diego, we used Webflow, a powerful no-code platform, to craft a visually appealing and highly functional site. Webflow's intuitive design tools allowed us to build and launch a site quickly, ensuring Shea Homes' North City Master Plan in San Marcos, CA, was showcased with precision and elegance, all while meeting their brand standards and enhancing user engagement.

The Challenge

Shea Homes San Diego required a simple, streamlined website that seamlessly integrated new brand guidelines while improving accessibility and adding CMS capabilities. The challenge was to ensure a cohesive design across all pages and platforms without a complete brand identity in place, while delivering a flexible, user-friendly experience for prospective buyers.

Our Approach

To prepare Shea Homes San Diego for their community launch, Red Door approached the project with a structured, four-phase strategy: discovery, design, development, and deployment. This method ensured thorough alignment with client expectations and a smooth, iterative process from concept to launch.

GOALS

Our primary goal was to create a versatile website with Webflow that would not only represent the North City Master Plan effectively, but also offer an intuitive user experience. We aimed to integrate community-specific branding, enhance accessibility, and streamline content management.

THE SOLUTION

We began by understanding Shea Homes' requirements through detailed discovery sessions, including stakeholder interviews. This allowed us to craft a website that met their brand and functional needs. The design phase focused on aligning visual elements with the client's vision, while the development phase involved building and refining the site on Webflow. Finally, the deployment phase ensured a smooth launch with robust analytics and performance monitoring.

The discovery phase

In this initial phase, we conducted a kickoff meeting, developed a comprehensive discovery brief, and held stakeholder interviews. This process allowed us to delve into Shea Homes' audience needs, site objectives, and potential challenges, ensuring our approach was aligned with their goals. 

The Design Phase

During the design phase, we focused on creating a visual and functional layout that met Shea Homes' specifications. This involved collaborating closely with the client to finalize page layouts, content, and creative elements, ensuring that every aspect of the site reflected their brand identity and user needs. 

The Development Phase

The development phase involved building the website using Webflow, incorporating essential elements like template development, baseline SEO, and analytics integration. We provided Shea Homes with a Webflow demo to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments, ensuring the site met their expectations before the final launch. 

The Deployment Phase

The final phase included launching the website after thorough User Acceptance Testing. We implemented analytics and monitored the site for a week to ensure optimal performance and user experience, setting the stage for a successful community introduction.

The results

The website features a cohesive design and enhanced functionality. With integrated CMS and improved accessibility, the site is positioned to attract and engage potential homeowners effectively. Post-launch analytics will provide insights into user interaction and site performance, ensuring continued optimization.
