WP Pro Real Estate is a premium theme designed from the folks at Contempo Graphic Design. As if the name of the theme isn’t obvious: it is built for realtors showcasing their houses. It comes complete with all the necessary gadgets a realtor needs for their visitors: search capability, category listings, detail pages – but most importantly is that it looks ELEGANT.

Now being elegant is surprisingly the number one requirement by realtors for their websites – don’t ask why, just trust me. The folks at Contempo Graphic achieved “elegance” by incorporating the following elements which I explain below:

Beautiful Fonts – made possible through the technology of siFR – web pages no longer have to be stuck with web safe fonts. That’s right, the nice heading titles you see is a very unique font that you don’t see often in the web. I take it back – it is available in the web, not just in client machines. See web pages rely on what fonts are installed in the client’s local machine. So designers stick to “web safe” fonts – fonts that are most commonly installed everywhere. Thanks to sIFR – web pages can use any available font. In WP Pro Real Estate – I believe this fine font is somewhere in the Helvetica family, extra thin version. Whatever it is – it definitely adds to that “elegant” factor.

Crisp Photography – a must have to achieve elegance. Even better – just as a general design rule – Always, and I mean always use crisp, high quality images. You’ll just make one huge mistake is by having a theme such as WP Pro Real Estate, then uploading a dull, resized and pixilated image of a house – watch your entire site de-grade instantly. Just don’t do it. Hire a professional photographer, get an SLR camera – whatever it takes to get high quality and crisp photos – to go with the theme.

Respected white space – just as important as the content areas: the white space. I like seeing designers incorporate just the right amount of spacing between elements, keeping them consistent, and uniform. Having too much content squeezed in the wrong places gives a page that “cluttered” feel. Designating space is very important because it gives the readers eye room to breathe and guides them to the right direction. Respected white space is the final factor that gave this theme elegance.

Now you found a good look for your real estate website – all you need is the means of updating it with ease. That is where Wordpress comes in. Updating listings, adding new ones, categorizing them and uploading images is as easy as pie. So go on, get your clients website up and running with this winning combination. WP Pro Real Estate sells for $25.00 in Theme Forest.
