Unravell Realty: A Property Advisory Brand Built to Feel Like the People Behind It

Kirsty and Lize Ravell wanted a site that read as investor-led and in-person, not like an algorithm. The build had to carry that voice through five pages, two working lead forms, and two real estate calculators.

Unravell Realty is a property advisory brand serving the Helderberg and Cape Town metro, run by co-founders Kirsty and Lize Ravell. Innhance built their marketing site end to end: a homepage, about, sell, invest, pre-approval and contact pages, a bond affordability calculator, a transfer cost estimator built on the real SARS duty table, and two working lead forms that route enquiries straight to the founders.

The brief

Kirsty and Lize Ravell position themselves as investors and property advisors first, not traditional agents working off a script. The brief was to build a site that carried that distinction honestly: no stock-agency polish, no generic "why choose us" filler, and no numbers on the page the client had not actually confirmed.

A site built around three real conversations

Rather than one generic listings-style homepage, the site splits into pages built around the three conversations Kirsty and Lize actually have: a seller working out what their property is worth, an investor weighing where to put capital, and a buyer trying to work out what they can actually afford. Each page speaks to that person directly instead of asking every visitor to self-sort from one undifferentiated homepage.

Calculators that do real maths, not placeholder maths

The pre-approval page carries a bond affordability calculator built on the standard South African lending assumption of roughly 30% of gross monthly income toward repayments, and a transfer cost estimator built directly on the current SARS transfer duty table and Law Society conveyancing tariffs, not a rounded rule of thumb. Both give a buyer a genuinely useful number before they ever pick up the phone, which is the kind of tool a listings page never offers.

Two lead forms that actually reach someone

The sell page carries a valuation request form and the pre-approval page carries its own lead form, both routing straight to the founders rather than a shared inbox. A lost seller lead was treated as the single most expensive bug the build could ship with, so both forms are built to fail visibly, showing a WhatsApp and email fallback if a send ever fails, rather than showing a false confirmation and quietly losing the enquiry.

A brand built for how the founders actually work

The palette (a burgundy and blue built against sand and ivory backgrounds) and the logo mark were built specifically for an in-person, investor-led advisory brand rather than adapted from a generic real estate template. It shows up consistently across the site's five pages, the navigation, and the footer, so the brand reads as one considered decision rather than a set of separate design choices.

Ownership stays with the client

Unravell Realty owns their own domain on their own registrar account, with Innhance holding delegated manager access to run hosting and DNS rather than the domain itself. It is the same model Innhance runs for every client: nothing locks the client into Innhance holding the keys to their own business.
