John Rea Land Company

When John Rea Realty needed a new website for their land-sales division, they contacted me to see if I would be able to build them a site that could integrate their MLS listings. I had never worked with MLS data before, so I performed some preliminary research and discovered several MLS providers with various types of WordPress plugins offering different features and price points.

We opted for a full-featured MLS system which included not only their individual and featured listings, but also incorporated map views and multiple widget types to achieve the look and functionality they were seeking. Now they manage their own listings through the MLS software portal, and all of the data and details are pulled into the site without requiring them to make any changes in WordPress itself.

MidCity Storage

MidCity Storage is a premium storage facility in midtown Monroe, Louisiana. They wanted a site to showcase the features of their facility as well as allow visitors to see availability, reserve units, and manage their accounts online.

I initially developed a custom plugin for these functional integrations, communicating with the storage management system’s API directly. That custom plugin has since been replaced by embedded scripts and links out to the storage management system’s payment portal to eliminate plugin maintenance concerns and utilize their managed code and enhance security.

Tower Place

Tower Place is a prominent office building in midtown Monroe, Louisiana. Built by Holyfield Construction and managed by Holyfield Real Estate Development, this unique venue contains a variety of business offices as well as shared “Think Tank” workspaces, a large atrium, and a rooftop terrace, all available to reserve by the hour or by the event.

The site was built as part of a comprehensive overhaul of multiple Holyfield-owned websites with the purpose of aligning the look and feel of their web presence across properties and brands. You will notice similarities with other Holyfield-related sites such as Premier Plaza, which varies only slightly in color scheme and content.

The Tower Place website also incorporates the CheckFront reservation system via their WordPress plugin, allowing visitors to reserve spaces and see availability directly within the site.
