Client Information

The Buchan team builds for longevity and believes that the worth of a home is more than just the sum of its parts—it can contain and shape a family’s lifestyle. From the design to the acquisition of materials to both interior and exterior design, Buchan Homes is a full-scale home builder that's earned the trust of its customers through a dedication to hard work and superior service.
Custom Website Design and Development
As a custom website design agency, we valued the opportunity to design and develop a website for a fully custom home building outfit. Using FusionCMS, we were able to craft a website based on the content rather than trying to squeeze it into a predefined box so common with most of the content management systems on the market.
Our design and development efforts include the following:
- Implementation of SEO best practices
- Sophisticated site flow including a portfolio area that can be viewed by community, by floor plan, and by pricing
- Attractive and modern design elements including rich use of white space and a clean, non-obtrustive hamburger menu in the top lefthand corner that guides users through each page
- Lazy loading and subtle scroll animations to improve page speed and usability
- An attractive neutral color palette featuring punches of branded orange to help call out key actions and links
- Fully custom content spaces that are easy to update thanks to FusionCMS
For this project, we designed and built a number of unique sections that include the following:
- Sophisticated home gallery overview and detail pages
- About pages with complex and attractive features like a details section allowing users to learn more about Buchan's work by clicking on image hot spots
- Available homes pages featuring interactive maps that help users locate each property
- Custom contact forms
- So much more!
