Design Bricks Showcase
The Design Bricks Service
1. Transparency & Performance: Property websites, by definition, are image heavy and if can therefore be slow, especially on mobile. This can have serious implications; since May 2017 Google has adopted a Mobile First Indexing Strategy and so potentially lowering sites page ranking that do not perform well on mobile.
The Design Bricks team show clients how to audit sites (it takes seconds) so that they can clearly understand the quality of product being designed developed for them.
2. Taking the hassle out of managing properties: We can either link client sites to Daft & MyHome or Acquaint CRM so that any property uploaded to portals will import back to your website, saving staff time. The status of each property is also included so that “Sale Agreed” and “Sold” sections are automatically updated.
4. Mobile, Desktop & Tablet: Our sites are fully responsive so they look great on any device.
5. Feature Rich:
- Dynamic Property Search; by location, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, property status, for sale/rent and price. Option to search to by Map. If there aren’t listings available for certain types of property (e.g. Commercial) then the user will not see these fields in Search fields.
