Leadtooth has been working on some exciting projects for Draper and Kramer lately. We recently completed a rebranding and new website for their rental property management division, D&K Living.

The goal was to provide a flexible and clean design. It’s simple and casual look provides a contemporary look for the company.

The focus of the new website was to clearly present the company’s capabilities. We also needed to showcase the properties in their portfolio. We used WordPress as the foundation for the new site and customized the hell out of it. Using WordPress custom fields and some javascript, we were able to create a website that is comprehensive while still being easy to manage.

When clients pick up the Kindle, the first thing they see is XEX’s Facebook app. They can “Like” the salon without having to visit Facebook.

Thanks to this little app, XEX has seen a nice rise in traffic to their Facebook page and website.

We recently helped the Harold E. Eisenberg foundation (HEEF) redevelop their website. The Chicago-based non-profit organization needed to better clarify their two main focuses, cancer research and real estate education. They also needed to have an easy to use content management system to provide them with a one-stop shop for event registration, donations and other site content.

On the design side, Leadtooth worked with HEEF to create a design that is friendly and organized. By using a colorful design, the site is welcoming and easy to navigate.

On the development side, Leadtooth created a customized WordPress set up for HEEF. By customizing a few different plug-ins, we were able to fulfill the organizations needs.
