Website for a real estate company
We migrated a US real estate company’s website from a website builder to WordPress. The project combined a full content migration with an updated design and property listing functionality that the previous platform could not accommodate.
The move gave the client a single website for company information and property listings, with content managed through WordPress and more scope for adding features as new requirements arise.
About client
The client is a US company operating in real estate and property development. Its business spans property sales, investment projects and partnerships, all of which need to be clearly represented on the website.
The site is a key point of contact for prospective clients and investors. It needs to present the business professionally while giving the internal team practical tools for managing content and property information.
About project
The original website builder had served the company well at the start, but it no longer met the needs of the growing business. Customization options were limited, content management had become cumbersome, and the platform could not accommodate the specialized real estate tools the client needed.
The project focused on moving the website to a platform with greater flexibility, allowing the company to introduce property‑related functionality and continue developing the site.
Request
The client wanted to move the website to WordPress and update both its appearance and functionality. The priorities were to retain all existing content, preserve the site’s SEO setup, simplify content management and bring property listings into the same website.
The scope also included building new pages from supplied designs and ensuring the website worked reliably across desktop and mobile devices.
Tools
We used WordPress as the CMS, configuring the page structure and content management tools around the project’s requirements.
Additional modules and plugins provided functionality for more complex sections, including property listings. The implementation also covered SEO settings, security and performance to prepare the site for ongoing use and further development.
Team
A small team handled the technical implementation, design adaptation and feature integration. Regular check‑ins and staged reviews kept progress visible and provided opportunities to resolve questions throughout development.
We also worked with the client’s representatives to clarify requirements, agree on details and account for the way the business operates.
What we did
We set up the WordPress environment and established the site’s core architecture. Content was migrated manually, allowing us to preserve the page structure and adapt the material to the new CMS.
Alongside the migration, we implemented the updated design from the supplied mockups and adapted the layouts for different screen sizes. A central part of the work was integrating property listing functionality into the site’s structure and matching it to the overall visual style.
We also configured forms, navigation menus and interactive elements to help visitors move through the site and get in touch with the company.
Result
The client received a WordPress website with the existing content transferred, the updated design implemented and property listings integrated into the same platform. The team can manage website content through the WordPress admin panel.
The migration also addressed a specific limitation of the previous setup: the company can now use real estate functionality that its original website builder could not accommodate. New sections, additional listings and integrations can be planned within the WordPress site as the business’s needs develop.
