The Problem

Danby Properties, a Chicago real estate holding company, lacked a targeted digital presence to capture rental inquiries for their localized properties. The existing digital footprint was highly generic, failing to engage specific neighborhood demographics in the Pilsen and South Side markets, and lacked a clear, optimized path to conversion for prospective renters.

The Solution

I designed and developed a conversion-optimized rental landing page tailored specifically to these target markets. I led the content strategy, writing focused body copy and structuring the information hierarchy to highlight available listings and streamline the contact form. I collaborated with marketing stakeholders to ensure the messaging and visual design aligned with local market positioning. The UI was built with strict adherence to accessibility guidelines; all call-to-action buttons, form inputs, and navigational elements were tested to ensure they passed contrast ratios and were fully functional via keyboard navigation.

The Impact

The dedicated landing page established a highly efficient lead generation funnel. By addressing the Pilsen and South Side markets with targeted copy and a frictionless contact flow, the page captured high-intent rental inquiries and improved the overall efficiency of the property management's leasing pipeline, providing a scalable template for future neighborhood expansions.
