AWRA Invest

AWRA Invest is an international luxury property brokerage, dealing in branded developments, waterfront villas and private estates across Dubai, Europe and West Africa.

They came with a brand new project and three things: a logo, a video, and the copy they wanted on the page. What they did not have was a design — no layout, no reference site, nothing to build from.

So the design was the job, not just the build.

How it ran

I designed the site in plain HTML and CSS first and sent it as a live link they could click through on their own devices. Once they approved what they saw, I rebuilt it in WordPress with Elementor so their team could edit it without me.

Approving a real page in a real browser removes the usual gap between a flat mockup and the finished site. What they signed off on is what went live.

What it needed to do

For a brokerage selling to private buyers, the site is a credibility document more than a catalogue. The work went into restraint — generous space, an editorial serif, a muted palette, and the client’s video running full-bleed behind the opening statement rather than boxed into a corner.

Markets are split across the Middle East, West Africa and Europe, with the enquiry route kept short from every page.

Two weeks from start to launch.
