Southern Roots is a boutique real estate firm in St. Petersburg that boasts a portfolio full of some of the most beautiful historic homes in the city. They take style and grace to a new level.

They came to us for a website that captured this personality and the history of this woman-owned St. Pete treasure that has been serving our community’s real estate needs for five generations.

Southern Roots already had a beautiful logo with a stunning color palette, so we could focus on how to best promote the agency in the community. We met with them for a discovery meeting and quickly realized that we needed to design a site that showcased their incredible portfolio, while at the same time highlighting the many unique neighborhoods of St. Petersburg. Their team had so much knowledge about the different sections of St. Pete, and it was super interesting – definitely something to share with their clients and prospects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This led us to imagine one of our favorite features of the website – the blog. It’s divided into several sections devoted to the unique neighborhoods that make up the city of St. Pete and beyond. Articles and photos about these neighborhoods populate the individual sections, so if a user is interested in a particular neighborhood, they can read about it in the blog. It’s a genius way to showcase this fabulous city, as well as the expertise and passion of Southern Roots.

We also loved the About page that features the history of this family-owned business. It showcases a collection of incredible old family photos in a timeline format.
