Signature Design Concept

Interactive Property Map

The homepage will feature an interactive property map that allows users to explore properties visually. As users hover over different areas, property details will dynamically appear, providing a preview of listings in that region. Clicking on a property will open a detailed view with images, descriptions, and options to contact agents or schedule visits. This map will be built using motion/react for smooth transitions and interactions.

LANDING HERO MOTION BRIEF

The landing page will feature a dynamic illustration of a cityscape that transforms as users scroll. Buildings will rise, and properties will highlight as users navigate, symbolizing the growth and opportunities within the real estate market. This animation will be created using motion/react and will loop every 10 seconds, providing a continuous and engaging experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Parallax
• The landing page will utilize layered depth via scroll, with decorative layers translating at different speeds. Real content will stay in normal flow and scroll naturally, providing a visually rich first impression.

Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: Response time < 2 sec, 5000 concurrent users, search under 1 second
• Availability: 99.9%
• Security: HTTPS, JWT, OAuth, SQL Injection Protection, XSS Protection, CSRF Protection
• Scalability: Horizontal Scaling
• Accessibility: WCAG 2.1
• Browser Support: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
