Introduction

JB Estates have been selling the largest most prestigious houses as well as the smallest, most beautiful cottages in North Cornwall since 1971. They sell the majority of property and land in Rock, Daymer Bay, Polzeath and Port Isaac, as well as other select coastal locations in North and South Cornwall.

Our client wanted us to develop a platform for property selling with key features like advanced search, google map with cluster locations, Availability on calendar etc…

Key Features

We provided solutions that made usage easier for non-technical real estate employees

Advance search for properties

We have implemented the custom search feature based on location, price, category, person and by dates.

Share listing

Ability to share listing on different social media like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google and many more.

Availability on calendar

We have implemented the booking calendar to check the cottage availability and booking status on calendar.

Google Map

User can see all available properties on map with google cluster functionality. Clicking on the cluster will show more properties in that area.

Request Details and Viewing

Users can make a request to know more about properties and also can request to view the property.

Responsive mobile view design

The website has been designed to be compatible with all screens and devices. We have also designed separate mobile screen versions for a few pages.

Business Challenges

The task at hand was very clear and at the same time quite broad. High level of competition as there are a lot of already promoted and popular property sales services on the web. Our team met with JB Estates leadership to understand their business and challenges.

Client wanted to develop powerful search with efficient performance as that is the main key features of the website
Client wanted to develop clustered map so that nearest property can show as cluster and clicking on cluster icon, map will be zoomed to that area
They need to store floor plans, brochures and other documents on cloud so that it doesn’t impact any load on the website.
Tight deadline of the website launch.
