by . December 14th, 2013

Finding the perfect place is tough and the tons of information thrown in by the Realtor will make everyone dizzy. Good thing there are sites that don’t overload you with information or at least they present it in a way it is easy to understand. In this edition of Awesome Web Design of the Week we are going check out an apartment website based in Krasina in Russia.

One criteria of an awesome web design is that it is informative and entertaining at the same time. Translating information and being able to thoroughly explain the choices is one of the many responsibilities of designers. As designers we have the power to influence and help people decide if they are going to purchase something or not. That is why in this edition of Awesome Web Design of the Week we are exploring the website of House on the Krasina which is based Russia.
