Prodo Digital were commissioned to design and build a website
for Orbit Developments - one of the country's largest private
commercial property development and investment companies, operating
in the North West and South East of England and the USA, which
includes an easy to use, fully bespoke property/space management
system seamlessly integrated with Umbraco CMS.
The system built allows Orbit to manage property and space data
including:
- Availability
- Various Property attributes (e.g. address, postcode etc.)
- Various Space attributes (e.g. dimensions, prices, features
etc.)
- SEO (e.g. SEO friendly URLs, Pages titles, Meta data etc.)
- Galleries of images (with AJAX multiple file upload, images
automatically resized for various usages)
- Floor plans
- Brochures / Downloads
- Site search mappings (ability to create rules that define what
should appear in search results)
The project also included the migration of existing property /
space data into the new system. This involved writing many scripts
to convert existing data into the new format. 1000's of records
were successfully migrated reducing the amount of manual data input
required.
Another key feature of the backend system is it also collects
any enquires made on the website for export to Orbits CRM
systems. There is also an advanced search that can filter
results by specific features (e.g. must have air conditioning and
parking)
Other key functionality is the ability for users to create their
own shortlists of spaces / properties. They can then do a
mass enquiry which is emailed to Orbit staff (also logged in
database).
Users can also make enquires in other forms e.g. space enquiry,
property enquiry, quick general enquiry.
