Gallo Realty Website Redesign & Development

Online customer service needed to be maintained on gotogallo.com to keep up with the speed and demandof potential customers. Gallo Realty has been renowned for its commitment to customers since 1979. In fact, even though the firm now has more than 100 sales and rental associates on staff, its mission statement has always remained: “Our goal is to exceed the customer’s expectations for reliable service and professional guidance in selling, buying or renting real estate.” That takes a rental management system software that doesn’t miss a beat.

Our team was integral in integrating gotogallo.com with Home Away’s V12.net platform. And, along with a vacation rental platform upgrade, we also improved the Apache Solr-based property search for a much more fluid search and vacation reservation experience. Our checklist of goals and challenges that were met included:

- Migrate existing content and data

- Optimize data storage

- Increase site conversions ratio

- Refresh web site aesthetic

- Complete everything within a short timeline (as always)

On the front end, the site’s entire theme and design was ripped out and refreshed. We wanted this firm’s mobile engagement to be ridiculously amazing, so we redesigned and inserted responsive images rather than the old text-heavy site; we streamlined the rentals search to reduce the clicks and dead-ends; and we brought Gallo’s agents more to the foreground.
