SKD Real Estate – A Premium Digital Experience for Luxury Properties
Client: SKD Real Estate (Luxury Property Agency)
Industry: Real Estate / Property Listings
Project Type: Website Design, Development & CMS Architecture (Webflow)
Project Overview
SKD Real Estate needed a modern, high-end website to showcase their properties and offer a unified platform for buyers, sellers, and renters. While their listings were available on third-party portals like Zillow and exprealty, they lacked a dedicated digital presence to represent their brand, capture inquiries, and market their portfolio effectively.
With no existing website, I designed and developed a fully custom real estate platform from scratch, combining premium aesthetics with robust CMS architecture and an advanced filtering system.
Goals
The objectives of this project were to:
Present luxury properties through a clean, image-first design
Build a scalable CMS for property management
Create an advanced property filtering system for buyers
Offer clear paths for buying, selling, and renting
Establish a premium online identity to build trust
Our Design Approach
The website was crafted to feel premium, visual, and trustworthy, with a minimalist layout, strong imagery, and smooth transitions. Motion was used sparingly to enhance the experience without distracting from the property content.
A Clean, Premium Homepage Experience
The homepage was designed to create a strong first impression—highlighting featured properties, showcasing key services, and introducing SKD Real Estate’s communities, team, and values through a simple, elegant flow. The result is a visually rich yet minimal experience that builds trust from the very first scroll.

Key Experience & Interaction Highlights
Image-Heavy Property Cards (Luxury-First Browsing): Rather than using cramped or text-heavy cards, the site features large image-focused cards that immediately draw attention and reinforce the premium nature of the listings.

Scrollable Featured Properties Carousel: A clean, horizontally scrollable carousel allows visitors to browse high-value listings smoothly and intuitively.

Interactive Service Cards: Custom-designed service cards for Buy, Sell, Rent, and Maintenance, enhanced with smooth hover interactions that add character and visual engagement to an otherwise minimal layout.

Core Feature: CMS with Advanced Filtering
To support long-term scalability and effortless content updates, I built a structured CMS system paired with a powerful filtering engine.
CMS-Driven Property Database: Created a streamlined Webflow CMS powering
Property listings (with Buy / Sell / Rent tags)
Property metadata (price, location, status, etc.)
Featured property assignments
Blog posts for industry updates
This setup allows SKD Real Estate to easily manage listings, publish new content, and update featured properties—all without touching the design or code.

Advanced Filtering System (Finsweet)
The Buy page includes an interactive filtering system that lets users refine properties by:
Name
Locality
Price range
Property Type
Other key attributes
This significantly improves the browsing experience and reduces friction for serious buyers.

Featured Property Carousel (CMS Linked)
Properties tagged as “Featured” automatically appear in the homepage carousel—giving the client full control over what gets highlighted.

Additional Pages (Overview)
Sell: A simple, trust-centered page with a clean form for homeowners.
Rent: A structured view for rental properties.
Maintenance & Services: Clear access to support options.
Appraisal Form: Easy submission flow for valuation requests.
These pages are intentionally minimal to keep the focus on the property discovery experience.
