Looking for recommendations

[webhelppls]

Hello,

I just joined and am looking for web design agency recommendations.
Had a Google and there are so many i figured i could ask and get some first hand accounts.
Site is a rebuild/redesign and is real estate sales focused. Requires some quite sophisticated function

Any suggestions welcome

What sort of sophisticated function?

The clearer and more explicit you can be about your needs then the better advice you can get.

You say you're looking for a design agency, but also say rebuild. Do you want an agency that can do the UI and UX design from scratch and would base it on user research? Do you want someone who will do the technical build also? If you have a small business that could be built on a templated platform with some tweaking it's different from a large business needing a good deal of custom code and complex user interactions (which really would need research to be part of the process).

I am looking for market leading agencies that have experience in large property sites.

I think that on its own is self explanitory, you either can recommend market leading agencies in this field or not.

Couple of things

Not looking for a one man band or a guy and two pals
Budget is in the 100k range

Sophisticated functions, means functions that are sophisticated and require total customisation

Now I really want to know what you call 'sophisticated functionality'.

Total customisation and sophistication are mutually exclusive. I can build a custom function that is really simple. Or I can install a library that is very sophisticated but doesn't require total customisation (it can be plug and play).

I know two agencies that deal with real estate but neither would be interested without a lot more detail. Do you have a full specification?

Looking at your website you seem to be listing overseas properties. Each country has different laws and requirements for real estate. Is this where the sophisticated functions comes in?

Are you presuming that I would just expect agencies to guess what was required, or perhaps just maybe i might check them out and then offer them a full summary of what we require.
Why would you think that i would give you the full specification when i just asked if anyone can point me at agencies that might help.

This feels like a lot of work, do you know a company, YES i do, try xyz SEE how easy that is

I always wondered how agencies manage to find people willing to waste £100k+ on a website build.

It's becoming clearer.
