For estate agents
Web design for estate agents.
Property data that updates the moment it changes, search that returns in milliseconds, and a page for every branch. We build on Reapit and Algolia, and we’ve done it for a five branch agency.
What yours needs
Not a generic site with your logo on it.
Reapit wired in properly, so a property that goes under offer disappears in seconds rather than tomorrow. Algolia search that filters across every district instantly. A page for each branch, with its own team and reviews. Lettings and student in the same system, not bolted on. And valuations treated as the thing the site is actually for.
Built, hosted and looked after. Your team edits the content, nobody touches code.
What it costs
Enterprise, £200 a month.
Bigger scope, scoped first.
The Enterprise plan covers unlimited pages, two API integrations, same-day changes and dedicated support. A property platform on the scale of JW Wood goes beyond that, and we price that properly on a call rather than pretending it fits a plan.
The detail
Built around how people actually find you.
An agency site has two jobs at once, and most only do the first. It has to help buyers and tenants find property fast enough that they don’t bounce to Rightmove, and it has to convince a vendor or landlord that you’re the agent to list with. Those are different audiences wanting different things. The second one pays your bills, and it’s usually the one the site forgets.
- 01
A real-time feed, not a nightly sync
JW Wood came to us on a legacy SOAP connection that updated once a day, manually. Properties stayed live long after they had gone under offer, which wastes enquiries and makes you look careless. We moved them to Reapit’s REST API with webhooks, so changes land immediately.
- 02
Search that returns before they give up
Property search is where agency sites lose people. If filtering by district, price and bedrooms takes a beat too long, they go back to the portal and you’ve lost the relationship. We run Algolia for this, which returns in milliseconds across the whole portfolio.
- 03
A real page for every branch
Branch pages with their own team, contact details and Google reviews are how a multi-office agency gets found for local searches. One combined contact page throws that away, and it’s the cheapest local SEO available to you.
- 04
Lettings and student in the same system
Most agencies end up with sales in one place and lettings managed on a spreadsheet. Pulling every property type from the same API means tenants and students search the same way buyers do, and nobody maintains two systems.
- 05
The site built around valuations
Buyers browse. Vendors and landlords are the ones worth winning. A valuation request needs to be the most obvious action on the site, not a link in the footer, and it should reach the right branch without anyone rekeying it.
Work in this sector
Judge it on the actual sites.
One agency, not a portfolio of them. But it’s a five branch business with sales, lettings and student accommodation running through a live CRM integration, which is a harder build than most agency sites will ever need. Their IT Director is happy to be asked about it.
