Viking Custom Homes
Website
Custom. Upscale. Classy. These are all components of the Viking Custom Homes brand image and ONeil Interactive delivered a design that says all of it. Each of those words was the driving force of design considerations as we completed the website design and development.
A relatively small volume builder, Viking Custom Homes needed a big web presence that highlights their depth of experience and the quality of their product. The new website provides for this positive impression, and it also made it easier for shoppers to find Viking, increasing its organic search placement nearly overnight.
WordPress
Viking Custom Homes understands the power of the social web and wanted to take immediate advantage of blogging. ONeil Interactive seamlessly integrated a WordPress blog into the design. Website visitors have no indication they have "stepped" from one part of the website to another, but Viking enjoys the familiarity and flexibility WordPress provides.
Client login
Always looking for new ways to deliver customized service, Viking wanted a special "client only" login area of their website. ONeil Interactive created that login capability so Viking can share specific information with each of its buyers. Viking Custom Homes now has a private repository of photos and documents that only the buyer can access. Viking's new website adds a custom experience to the custom home building process.
Live Chat & Content Management System
Web users have grown more accustomed to immediate response, making the typical contact from option look like snail mail. ONeil Interactive added a live chat feature to the new Viking website, enabling a website visitor to reach the Viking team immediately on their mobile phone! And, yes, shoppers are using it!
Content Management Systems are not just for large volume builders. Just because smaller builders may not be changing prices and locations every day, deosn't mean they don't want to save money. Viking Custom Homes opted for a complete integration of the ONeil Interactive content management system, giving them control over locations, floor plans, photos, as well as customer testimonials, and the smallest of text content changes.
