The need
Wouri Estate sells, rents and manages properties in Douala, Yaoundé and Kribi. Many of its clients live in Lyon, Brussels or Montreal. They want to invest back home, but they fear a forged land title or a plot sold twice. The agency needs a website that proves it is serious before the first call.
For their customers
From Lyon, a buyer filters the properties, sees prices in euros and opens the dated land file on each listing. They try a loan, work out a yield, then book a video visit at a time that suits their time zone. They know what has been verified before paying a single franc.
What I built
-
Properties on a map
The search switches from grid to map in one click. A filter keeps only properties with a verified title, and every price converts to euros or dollars.
-
Calculators on every listing
Loan and rental yield are pre-filled with the property’s figures. Change the term or the vacancy rate and the result moves at once.
-
Land title checks
A seven-point guide to tick off before buying: title, certificate of ownership, boundary marking. It also names the most common scams.
-
The Diaspora Pass
A path to buy without travelling: on-site checks, video visit, signing at the notary, then rental management.
Design choices
A palette of paper and ink, like a deed at the notary’s, with rust for actions. The serif headings carry the weight of an official document.
- Gloock for headings
- Schibsted Grotesk for text and figures
