Savills' In-line mapping service includes zoom in/out functionality

Savills, part of Savills plc, is one of the world’s leading international property consultants and real estate agents. With offices and associates throughout the UK, Europe, Asia Pacific and Africa, Savills plc holds a powerful global position.

Maps, provided by Multimap, are an important element of the Savills online proposition in the UK, France and Germany. "Maps help improve the quality of user experience and contribute to a high-quality online environment. That’s important for our customers who already associate Savills with high standards," said Rebecca Hurley, web services director at Savills.

Savills uses Multimap’s In-line map service to enhance information provided on each property in the UK, France and Germany. The service embeds location maps on a website via a URL link.

Savills recently decided to enhance a number of its European sites’ location maps by adding zoom in/out functionality.

Rebecca Hurley explained, “We’d had a lot of positive feedback about the usefulness of maps on our website so, as part of a design overhaul, we decided to a few levels of zoom. It’s been very successful; our monthly traffic reports tell us that users now interact even more with the map service."

She continued, “Multimap has undoubtedly got the highest quality and most comprehensive mapping coverage across Europe. When it came to extending our mapping to our neighbours in France and Germany, Multimap was therefore the natural partner of choice.”
