Rick Whittington Consulting

Porter Realty has been a pillar of the Richmond, Virginia business community since 1965.  Forty-five years later, the family-owned company still embodies its founding principles of market knowledge, vision, creative thinking and an optimistic outlook toward the future.  The Porter brothers deserved a website that reflects nearly a century of experience in the Richmond industrial and commercial real estate market.

Our initial meetings with the Porters and Liz Greving, their IT & Marketing Manager, uncovered their vision for the project.  “We wanted the site to be informative and user-friendly with an updated, professional look.  We initiated this project with the idea of a complete overhaul of our firm’s website, specifically with the intention to streamline and to modernize the look and feel of the size and to improve the functionality in terms of listing searches, news release publication, and integration of client testimonials,” said Greving.

“We became familiar with Rick Whittington Consulting’s work on other industry sites and after a preliminary interview process, elected to move forward with RWC.  We immediately felt that Rick was the most responsive of the vendors we met with, and the most capable of translating our ideas into a finished product.”

Our process involved using an in-depth knowledge of how people use commercial real estate websites combined with Porter’s know-how and experience serving their clients.  “RWC was able to distill our project goals into a clear development plan and was a tremendous resource in helping us to understand current trends and options in terms of both design and development.  In terms of both look and functionality, the new site will allow us to showcase our capabilities, services and past successes with greater ease and broader reach.”

The finished product is a fast-loading site that the firm can update themselves and keep up-to-date. We also expect that going forward, Porter Realty will receive new business leads from their website like never before.

“RWC was patient and persistent in helping us to organize our ideas for the site into a polished finished product.  Rick was receptive to our thoughts throughout the design and implementation process, and was always extremely responsive to our inquiries and suggestions.   We are looking forward to working with Rick on additional projects in the future!”
