Do / Don't
Reference it for
- Cinematic full-bleed hero imagery as the entire emotional pitch for a property brand.
- An italic serif aspirational headline ("the world's finest...") set over photography.
- Single-accent restraint: a near-monochrome canvas with one confident red (#ED2127) on the logo and primary action.
- Search-bar-as-hero: a Buy/Sell/Rent tabbed search field placed front and centre as the homepage's one job.
- A quiet horizontal nav (BUY / SELL / RENT / AGENTS / REGIONS) that organises a brokerage cleanly.
Do not copy
- The red "A" monogram and "THE AGENCY" wordmark are the brand's identity; reproduce the single-accent approach with the client's own mark.
- The listings search and map experience is a heavy client-rendered app; a local agent needs a far lighter search or a link to a listings provider.
- Times and Lato here are the lean fallback stack; choose a deliberate serif-plus-sans pairing rather than copying the defaults.
