Whale Watching with Boston Logic

The hardworking real estate web design team here at Boston Logic went out into the city last weekend for some excellent company bonding via whale watching and lunch. We took advantage of the great New England sun (while still here!) and had a fantastic day on the water. Here are some images of our Boston adventure for your personal enjoyment!

We started at Max's Restaurant for some breakfast, then headed over to the docks by the Boston Aquarium to board for our whale watching tour through Boston Harbor Cruises. It was a bit longer than a three hour tour, as we left at 10:00 am and returned around 3:30, but it was worth it. The high-speed boat took us off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts to see some whales.

The tour didn't disappoint. As soon as we arrived at our destination, we saw gorgeous humpback whales all around the boat, and we were able to get really close. We saw flukes, flipper-slapping, and were able to appreciate the sheer size of these animals as they swam about 10 feet parallel to our boat!

We ended the day at Boston's Durgin Kitchen in Fanueil Hall. After filling up on a variety of deliciously fried seafood (after being on the ocean all day, it felt appropriate) we went our separate ways to each take our perspective post-adventure naps. We had an amazing time!

New Sequoia Site Launched: Boston Apartment Hunter

Boston Apartment Hunter took advantage of Boston Logic's Modified Template Theme option - taking one of our already excellent design templates and altering it to suit their individual needs. This option strikes a unique balance between an off-the-shelf site theme and a fully custom site.

Modified Template Themes start with one of our readily deployable template themes, and provide a distinctive look while adhering to a compressed timeframe and a lower cost than a fully custom design. Of course, all of the best-in-class functionality of the Sequoia platform is still present under the skin!

Boston Apartment Hunter specializes in apartment and condo rentals in the Boston area.

Tri State Realty Group launches new site on Boston Logic’s Sequoia Platform!

Tri State Realty Group had Boston Logic design a custom Sequoia platform site for their new web presence - adding a unique look and feel as well a few great new optional features we've created.

Adding to the already robust rental property search functionality built into the Sequoia platform, Tri State Realty Group opted to employ a customized graphical search map. This feature allows users to click on the areas of the map they wish to search, select a few quick parameters and get fast, accurate search results tailored to their specific needs. The tool can be customized to suit any desired range of locations and themed to match the style of your site.

In addition, Tri State added an MBTA Search tool to their rental property search roster. This tool, which can be added to any Sequoia site that already uses our Neighborhood Pages feature, allows users to search for rentals near any major MBTA line with one click. This tool can be readily deployed for any site that already utilizes Neighborhood Pages, adding to the already significant boost in search engine rankings the Neighborhood Pages component provides.

Tri State Realty Group specializes in residential sales and rentals in the Boston area.
