Some of our favorite projects are the ones where we get to grow alongside our clients. That’s certainly been the case with real estate veterans Matt Sevenau and Maurice Tegelaar of Living in Wine Country Group, the number one sales team in Napa and Sonoma County. With over 35 years of combined experience and 1,000+ clients served, they’re icons in the Northern California wine country real estate scene, and we’ve had the privilege of supporting their digital presence since 2017.
This latest redesign of the Living in Wine Country Group website marks our third major collaboration with the team — and their most elevated online presence yet.
From Foundation to Future-Forward
Our partnership with Matt and Maurice began when they were agents at Pacific Union, introduced to us by CEO Mark McLaughlin (a longtime friend of WebSight Design ). We first built their website in 2017, then gave it a robust refresh in 2019. Fast forward to 2025, and it was time to take things to the next level.
For this iteration, we partnered with designer Taylor Zad, founder of High House Agency and another Pacific Union alum with deep expertise in real estate UX. Taylor led the user interface design, bringing a nuanced understanding of the industry’s digital demands to the creative process. WebSightDesign handled front-end production, mobile versioning, back-end development, and SEO implementation. This collaborative partnership resulted in a product that is both visually striking and strategically sound.
What’s New on the Site?
The new Living in Wine Country website showcases a refined front-end design that prioritizes visual elegance, user experience, and SEO-friendly structure. It features:
- A refined visual identity featuring a soft, sophisticated color palette and elevated typography that move beyond Compass’ default black-and-white branding for a unique look
- A new, custom-designed logo that complements the site’s elevated aesthetic
- High-end property photography and immersive video integration
- A fully responsive mobile experience for on-the-go browsing
Powerful Tools Behind the Scenes
Beyond the luxe look, we packed in powerful functionality to give Matt and Maurice total control of their content. With a full CMS and custom-build properties manager, they can:
- Update page content and news
- Keep testimonials fresh and relevant
- Feature and manage an unlimited number of real estate listings
The Results? As Refined as the Region.
This project was a true team effort, resulting in a site that combines elevated design, robust functionality, and a distinct presence that sets the Living in Wine Country team apart in a competitive market.
We’re grateful to Matt and Maurice for trusting us (again!) and to Taylor Zad and her team for their design leadership. We’re proud of what we built together and already excited for what’s next.
