Estate needed a new website to present its identity and services in Patras, help visitors discover properties and connect with the agency\u2019s data workflows. The initial build was planned around buyers, tenants, owners and investors, with a clear next step for each audience.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>A new WordPress website<\/li><li>An organised property and service catalogue<\/li><li>Distinct visitor needs<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-group case-story__chapter motion-reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><span class=\"case-story__index\" aria-hidden=\"true\">02<\/span><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A bespoke design built on Houzez<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Houzez provides the foundation for the real estate functionality, with the visual experience tailored to HandHome. Large photographs, green and earthy tones, distinctive typography and consistent layouts connect the homepage, catalogue, services and contact pages. The presentation adapts to desktop and mobile screens.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>Design tailored to HandHome\u2019s identity<\/li><li>A consistent experience across sections<\/li><li>Navigation adapted for mobile<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-group case-story__chapter motion-reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><span class=\"case-story__index\" aria-hidden=\"true\">03<\/span><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Estate+ integration and XML imports for properties and contacts<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The build includes integration with Estate+, the CRM used to organise the agency\u2019s customers and work. We also developed an XML import mechanism for property and contact data. XML is a structured file format for transferring information between systems. This connects the website to the agency\u2019s operational infrastructure while preparing property content for presentation to visitors.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>Estate+ CRM integration<\/li><li>Property data import through XML<\/li><li>Support for importing contact data<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-group case-story__chapter motion-reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><span class=\"case-story__index\" aria-hidden=\"true\">04<\/span><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search by criteria and location<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Property discovery starts with practical criteria: buying or renting, city and area, property type, price, floor area, bedrooms and additional features. The map adds geographic context, while sorting helps visitors review the available options. On mobile, visitors can switch between the map and property list.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>Filters based on practical requirements<\/li><li>Geographic discovery on a map<\/li><li>Sorting and alternate viewing modes<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-group case-story__chapter motion-reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><span class=\"case-story__index\" aria-hidden=\"true\">05<\/span><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Property pages that give enquiries a clear context<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each listing brings together photographs, description, price, floor area, location, features and energy class. A reference code makes conversations with the agency more precise. The enquiry form already names the selected property in its message, giving the initial contact a clear subject.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>Property information in one place<\/li><li>A clear listing reference<\/li><li>An enquiry form for each property<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-group case-story__chapter motion-reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><span class=\"case-story__index\" aria-hidden=\"true\">06<\/span><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dedicated journeys for owners and investors<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The homepage introduces buying, renting and investing as distinct paths. Owners reach a dedicated property-assignment page with tailored copy and a preselected enquiry subject. Investment content leads to a relevant contact request. The agency\u2019s 11 services are organised into individual pages that explain where HandHome can help.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>A dedicated property-owner journey<\/li><li>Investment content and relevant enquiries<\/li><li>Separate pages for 11 services<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-group case-story__chapter motion-reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><span class=\"case-story__index\" aria-hidden=\"true\">07<\/span><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two languages and a clear search structure<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greek and English versions cover the main pages and property listings, with links between corresponding translations. Page titles, descriptions and structured property data help search engines interpret the content. This provides a clear information structure for both Greek-speaking and international audiences.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list case-story__list\"><li>Greek and English content<\/li><li>Linked property
