Property is a leading online platform connecting landlords with tenants across the World. With a focus on simplicity, efficiency, and transparency, the platform facilitates property rental transactions, offering landlords various services from advertising their properties to finding suitable tenants. To enhance user experience and site performance, Property undertook a significant transformation, migrating from a traditional HTML/CSS/Laravel setup to a modern Next.js frontend with a Livewire and Laravel API backend.
Old System: The previous website had an unclear authentication flow, which often led users to register under the wrong user type—Tenant or Landlord. This confusion caused errors and inefficiencies in user management and data display.
New System: The challenge was to define a clear, user-friendly authentication flow. We needed to ensure that users could log in or register with the correct role, and the system would display data relevant to their role appropriately.
Old System: The search functionality was limited, allowing only tenants to search for properties. It was unable to find or filter relevant content beyond property listings.
New System: We needed to implement a robust search feature capable of handling various content types—properties, products, and blogs (hosted separately on WordPress). The new search functionality had to be integrated with Algolia to provide a seamless, comprehensive search experience.
New System: The previous site had performance issues, with long load times that affected user experience and SEO.
New System: We aimed to significantly enhance the site's speed and performance. This required optimizing the new site for fast loading times while incorporating essential SEO elements to improve visibility and user engagement.
