Elegant, Contemporary Design

A brand new design was unveiled on New Years’ Eve, keeping step with the latest design philosophy of utilitarian minimalism. The sleek new design of Magicbricks.com is particularly evident on its Home Page, Search Page, Property Detail Page, Project Detail Page and Agent Directory.

The Search Page has been    q restructured to make results quicker to scan and choose. It now includes new save and report features, contact forms and “refine result” filters. Listings already seen and contacted are greyed out in the results so that the user can focus on other listings.
