The Challenge

The objective was to develop a bespoke website for Black Cat Residential that would enhance their online property listings and improve client interaction. Key features included a custom property post type with advanced search capabilities, a tenant-exclusive login portal, and seamless integration with their property management software, 10ninety.

/ What We Did

The Strategy

The team's approach involved several innovative solutions:

Custom Properties Post Type: A custom post type for properties was created, integrating a range of search facets like price and bedrooms. A real-time searchable map was also integrated to assist users in finding properties that meet their specific criteria. This feature aimed to streamline the property search process, making it more user-friendly and efficient.
Tenant Login Portal and Support Tickets: A unique login portal for tenants was developed, enabling them to lodge support tickets directly through the website. This portal was designed to enhance tenant engagement and streamline communication between tenants and the agency.
Integration with Property Management Software: The website was configured to automatically pull property listings from 10ninety, the agency's property management software. A cron job was set up to regularly check for new or expired listings, ensuring the website displayed up-to-date property information.
