Branding

When reconstructing a brand, you have to thoughtful of every aspect of information which is presented to the consumers to ensure a successful reiteration of the brand. We developed a brand color palate from which we assigned a color for each of LeaseOurHouse's activity tracks. This was was inspired from a multitude of tests that scientifically-define the "Lease Our House" colors. When we paired this with a refined logotype and thoughtful photography, the brand really started to come together.

Challenges

LOH faced a very intricate problem at one of the first stages of rebuilding the app. The payment integration was not easy as RBC don't have any document API. After studying a number of documents provide by RBC we have created API for payments.

Strategies

In order to achieve cross-platform integration, we decided to implement back pressed functionality. This logic allows us to make the LOH application compatible with android phones as well. We also integrated google map API Elastic Search to ensure the timeliest results.

Final Brand

After making many tweaks and changes, we were finally able to unify the newly re-branded LOH app. With some of the latest features available in apps today, we were able to successfully add a search functionality, a push notifications functionality, a integrated messaging system, a image caching function for house, as well as a integrated social media login (Facebook). With a very sleek and modern UI design, LOH is one of the most cutting edge apps available today.
