The business and the goal

Business
Saltway Lettings is an invented letting agent offering let-only, rent collection and fully managed services to landlords in the mid-Cheshire salt towns, and homes to rent for tenants. Its two audiences want almost opposite things from the same website.
Goal
Target: more landlord enquiries from the website, and fewer calls from tenants asking what is available.

  • Planned in the brief: homes to rent, landlord services, fees, rental valuation request, tenant information and contact

What the design solves

A landlord wants to know what a letting agent charges, what it handles and whether it can be trusted with rent and deposits. A tenant wants to see available homes and how to arrange a viewing. When one homepage tries to speak to both at once, it usually serves neither well.

This design asks one question at the top, landlord or tenant, and builds each path from there. Letting agents in England have to publish their fees, client money protection and redress details, so these sit in plain view on the homepage and in the footer instead of in a PDF.

The choices behind it

  1. Landlord or tenant, first

    Two large panels in the hero send each visitor down their own path before they meet anything that is not for them.

  2. Services side by side

    Let only, rent collection and fully managed are compared in three columns, with fees shown against each.

  3. Listings tenants can scan

    Rental cards lead with rent per month, town and bedrooms, with availability clearly flagged.

  4. Rules turned into reassurance

    Fees, client money protection and redress details are presented as reasons to trust the agent, not small print.

  5. Salt and saffron

    A deep navy and a salt-white background with a saffron accent give a friendlier, more modern tone than a typical sales agent site.
