We built a custom online property rental marketplace that's fast, user-friendly, and easy for our client to manage. It's designed to help renters connect with apartment owners and streamline the entire rental process.

Design Style02
For Stan na Dan, we embraced Poppins for its modern and approachable feel, complementing a real estate platform's inviting atmosphere. A color palette with a warm coral, muted slate, deep oceanic blue, and soft light gray instills a sense of comfort and reliability, mirroring the ease and simplicity of finding a home away from home.

Challenges & Objectives
The challenges were manifold, ranging from designing a user-centric interface to integrating sophisticated backend systems for property management, including calendar synchronization with existing rental marketplaces. We aimed to achieve a fast-loading, SEO-optimized platform that could handle a significant number of listings without compromising on performance. Additionally, we set out to construct a channel manager to sync with other rental platforms, ensuring that apartment owners could manage their bookings across multiple channels effortlessly.
Solution
We utilized WordPress and WooCommerce as the core of our solution, developing a custom theme and adding numerous bespoke features to fulfill the project's unique requirements. The implementation of a custom dashboard for property owners to manage listings, reservations, cancellations, and calendar synchronizations was pivotal. To meet the SEO and performance objectives, we optimized the site structure, leveraged advanced caching mechanisms, and meticulously crafted content-rich pages to boost organic traffic.
