Automated and low-maintenance solution to represent the Real Estate business and generate quality leads.

A look back

The real estate market has a lot to offer for customers. But with the increasing number of consumers, it is necessary to understand the main needs of all of them. And it was the main idea of the client - to create the site for Canada with a new hierarchy for all types of real estate.

Problems to be solved

Like many startup founders, our client was pretty limited budget-wise so initially went for a premade no-code solution. The theme did not allow to scale or change the structure to implement the client's vision of hierarchy for the RE objects. This new system would affect user convenience and help businesses to stand out but with the current website, it was impossible. That's why for this project our focus was on creating a brand-new, automated, and optimized system that would be still budget-efficient.

Monetization

The website directly represents the business and generates leads for the Client's agency.
