Posted by Haus & Grace is a growing real estate company in Dubai dealing in residential and commercial properties for sale and rent. The company has over 19 properties for sale and is expanding rapidly. Haus & Grace was established in Gujarat, India, in 2008 and is led by Priya Mistry (CEO) and Mehul Kumar Mistry (Managing Director of Sales).
The Website: Requirement and Design
Being a relatively new company in the competitive world of real estate in Dubai, Haus & Grace found it imperative to have an online presence the moment they thought of expanding their operations in Dubai. A website that would reflect their company values and 15 years of experience had to be showcased to garner attention among customers.
Apart from creating a website with just a portfolio, Haus & Grace wanted to take it one step further by allowing property owners to list their properties for rent or sale. This required a new section for listing the properties and an area where customers could search for listed properties on Haus & Grace.
- A Professional Looking Real Estate Website with a Responsive Design and Lead Generation: The website had to be responsive and accessible on all devices, both desktop and mobile. The webpages should be fast-loading, and images should be optimized for quality and speed. The website should also be able to generate leads.
- Dynamic Website with Blog Integration: Blog integration was crucial for Haus & Grace for marketing its products and properties. The addition of content should be easy and not require a professional web designer or developer in-house.
- Integrated with All Real Estate Website Functionality Including Search Features for Properties: The website should be able to list properties from interested parties, and the listed properties should be searchable based on various parameters.
- Easy Navigation: The website should be easily navigable, and the user interface should be intuitive. The navigation should be crawler-friendly and user-friendly for easy access to various pages on the website.
- Easy Maintenance: The website should be easily maintainable, and updates should be seamless. The addition and deletion of properties should be easy and should be done in-house without the need for a developer.
Megh Technologies understood the requirements of Haus & Grace and started with the choice of technology. WordPress was the preferred interface as it provided various plugins for integrating real estate property listings, search features, and easy template and theme management. WordPress was also easier to manage, secure, and scalable. WordPress came with regular security updates for its platform, and maintenance of the platform was not required apart from security updates, which could be automated.
Once the technology and platform were approved, we started with the theme development and site structure of the website. The website had four main sections: the home page, the about us page, property listings, and the section to list properties. A wireframe was created for each section, and once approved, a prototype of each page was created in Figma. The website prototype was an exact replica of what would be delivered.
Coding and Development
Once the prototype was approved, the team at Megh Technologies started creating the theme in WordPress. The theme was created with Bootstrap but was mostly custom-coded on the WordPress Gutenberg editor. The plugins were coded and customized to the requirements of the stakeholders. The plugins were created to list the properties, search properties, and list the properties with WordPress’s inbuilt authentication systems.
Once the coding was completed, the website was first tested on a local server and then on a temporary live server for testing. When the client checked the website for design and functionality and approved it, the website was transferred to the domain and made live.
