The challenge

Real estate is often seen as inaccessible — with high entry costs, and complicated processes locking out everyday investors. The challenge for me as a designer was: How to create a landing page that feels modern, credible, and approachable while explaining fractional ownership in a simple way?

The solution

The solution

I designed a clean, contemporary landing page for Split that communicates accessibility and trust at every step:

  • Hero section with a clear headline: “Invest in real estate, one fraction at a time.”

  • Property highlights showcasing investment opportunities with key details (price, size, availability).

  • Feature breakdowns (streamlined listings, accessible ownership, hassle-free transactions, transparent fees).

  • FAQ section to address common investor concerns directly.
