EE in the Wild: February 1, 2011

EE in the Wild is written each week by our friends at Show-EE, the official showcase for ExpressionEngine websites.

Haslams Estate Agents

Easily one of the nicest real estate websites I have ever seen. And I’m (Marcus) married to a realtor! The guys over at Nine Four Ltd. really did a nice job on this one. The biggest obstacle they had to overcome was getting the data on the houses from a custom system through a bespoke API and into ExpressionEngine Channels. The end result is a beautiful website that is certain to be useful for many that are trying to find a home.

BI-LO

BI-LO is a regional grocery store chain and after visiting the site that {e} House Studio has put together for them I would shop there in a heartbeat. The site uses vivid colors and tasty photos for a winning combination. As part of the build process they integrated with some third party coupon providers using a custom API to pull weekly specials and coupons. This site is full of progressive enhancement and HTML5 goodness.
