Working with Black Ant Media was a great experience. Throughout our design project Jason delivered completed sections on time and frequently went beyond the scope of our discussions to provide us with options we hadn’t considered. I always felt that we had a partner, someone who had our best interests in mind.

Shortcut
For this project, we once again teamed up with our friends at EdgeCase and built an exciting, highly interactive site for finding apartments and tennants.
Black Ant Media was responsible for establishing the visual identity and creating the Shortcut logo. We also designed all of the pages and user interface elements. At the heart of the Shortcut experience is the interactive search tool. By specifying your budget range and desired apartment features, you get realtime feedback on matches in the system. The map features custom branding elements for the markers and zoom controls.
Each apartment is shown in a concise "tile" that gives a mini-dashboard view of it's pricing and features. Users are also able to view multiple photos of each apartment right within the tile, eliminating the need for navigating back and forth across pages.
