So how does your site pop when clients first come to your website? I\u2019ve noticed a lot of website design revolves around top heavy elements &#8211; prime areas like the masthead and banner &#8211; that helps your site leave an impression as soon as your site is opened. This is referred to the area \u201cabove the scroll\u201d and is your first chance to engage your audience (and perhaps tempt them to stay and scroll!). Let\u2019s take a look at how these sites have tackled this!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Take a look at Calgary Realtor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellhomes.myubertor.com\/\">Ron Garneau\u2019s site<\/a>, where the view is amazing from the get-go! The gigantic scenery is sure to grab anyone\u2019s attention, and the icons for easy navigation also serve as a main focal point. Overall, the look accomplished is both modern and professional and makes for a successful site.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellhomes.myubertor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/gNkH96gr8NNReBHxmqWu8b6q9DmoSnxRamy-eGzBlfva4nHQWHBFHNU6xaycKNlApAJeO3iOh6rlBW_NVQmPnKD_sLpTbl3ArLqXiH-YSdIEwk6Xu4YEQOQx\" alt=\"\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"249px;\" \/><\/a>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calgarycondopros.com\/\">Calgary Condo Pros Team<\/a> takes a colorful approach with splashes of orange on a grainy beige background to bring out their site. The logo sits prominently at the top while an urge for action to contact shouts at you from the banner. This site sure knows what it\u2019s set out to accomplish.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.calgarycondopros.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/JmXT3uaJ4gRD2Mx3g7Q7flJDOPPGsIKbMZJWjoGEXhrFTMbIaS2dcPswrY5IdJx4bPH5U_YUOVvq0OGpmC3SeX4gE3M_dq4qu5iQyf0-f9sCswK-gGikhZUz\" alt=\"\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"249px;\" \/><\/a>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For Vancouver Realtor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kellyraabedejong.com\/\">Kelly Raabe Dejong<\/a>, she\u2019s got the Sotheby\u2019s blue under her belt. She\u2019s also decided to focalise on using photos to attract attention, whether it\u2019s her sweet portrait on the masthead, the widescreen images for her flash banner, or the interactive featured properties underneath. All this displayed within the top half of her site means she\u2019s ready to engage.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kellyraabedejong.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/IGWuzbJ5MWu2Jm6Cx6e1hFMm55IFGXlo016f9Ph3AvBqzlIZNKhX8MAjy-nyfEDOfe1cPW0VEvwv_nKnpxOCAjaB2VCenHRfwdrOr2idv9i8OPovhgcvFhUwHw\" alt=\"\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"249px;\" \/><\/a>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another example of a clean blue and white site is West Vancouver Realtor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnjennings.com\/\">John Jennings<\/a>\u2019 piece of work, but still manages to give a totally different style. Both his masthead and banner is clearly defined &#8211; a branding masthead and a captivating image for the banner &#8211; and he\u2019s got his bases covered above the scroll.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnjennings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/3QrxGRnl0Ug6KLPNKSDQXGJhypZe-nTjFIe6NBFLVpa9N2Pq7SkyVQdQAV7rR0McCRek3ytYrrwW_fhx80YgZldX0cldq2IqcgO48M8Pz4ehFi0tSXuoimOw\" alt=\"\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"249px;\" \/><\/a>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And then there\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/alourdeseserve.myubertor.com\/\">International Property Investments<\/a>, a site that\u2019s another example of captivating attention.
