OC Real Estate is a premium property agency serving Adelaide and Regional South Australia. Following their rebrand, they needed a digital platform that could manage multi-office operations while maintaining a premium client experience.

OC’s old site was built on legacy code that had poor experience and was too complex to manage in-house. Even small updates could require a developer. Following the top-notch rebrand by Identity Marketing, the goal wasn’t just a new look — it was a full digital rebuild.

The team needed a system that could connect seven APIs and still deliver a smooth experience with 10,000+ properties and over 150+ staff members.

My role

  • Digital Strategy — brand and digital strategy workshops to align the site with OC’s new direction.
  • UX Design Lead — sitemap, UX sessions, wireframes, and co-designed Figma flows for each audience.
  • Design Systems — component library in Figma tied to the production codebase.
  • Development — Next.js build, Sanity CMS implementation, all API integrations.

Discovery & Strategy

We kicked off with brand and digital strategy workshops to align the site experience with OC’s new direction. Sitemap and UX sessions mapped how each audience — buyers, sellers, investors, and property managers — would find what they need and convert.

Co-designed wireframes in Figma and a running development backlog of features ensured the project would achieve the set goals.

Design & Build

We delivered a modern platform using Next.js and Sanity CMS. The system connects Property API, Domain Insights, AgentBox, REA reviews, live auctions, maintenance forms, and inspection reports — all working seamlessly across multiple offices.

A custom CMS was built so the OC team can manage everything themselves without developer involvement.
