Frequently Asked Questions
How do you build a website for real estate developers?
+
Stonehaven follows a structured, conversion-led build process: discovery workshops to capture brand, audience and sales goals; information architecture and wireframes; UI/UX design; and development on WordPress, Webflow, or a custom stack. We integrate listings (IDX/API), dynamic floorplans, lead-capture forms, and CRM automation. Technical SEO, analytics, and performance optimisation are baked in, followed by QA, security hardening, and handover with training and support. The result is a fast, scalable platform aligned to your development and sales pipeline.
What are the most popular platforms for real estate websites?
+
We typically develop on WordPress for extensibility and editorial control, Webflow for rapid, design-precise builds, and custom frameworks (e.g., Next.js) when you need complex integrations, unique UX, or high traffic at speed. Stonehaven selects the stack based on your scope—listings feeds, marketing automation, multilingual needs, and in-house content workflows—so you get the right balance of performance, flexibility, and total cost of ownership.
Why is mobile-friendly design important for real estate websites?
+
Most discovery and shortlist activity happens on phones, so mobile UX directly impacts time-on-site, enquiry rates, and SEO. Stonehaven designs mobile-first interfaces—thumb-friendly galleries, map and floorplan viewing, quick enquiry CTAs, and fast page loads—so prospects can browse, compare, and contact your team effortlessly. This improves engagement and helps your pages rank, while delivering a consistent, premium experience across devices.
What is IDX integration in real estate websites?
+
IDX (Internet Data Exchange) connects your site to live listing databases, enabling automated property updates and powerful search and filter experiences. Stonehaven implements IDX or equivalent APIs, sets up scheduled syncs and caching for speed, and designs search UX (location, price, bedrooms, amenities) that converts browsers into enquiries—all aligned to your brand and compliance requirements in the UAE, KSA, and wider GCC.
How does SEO help real estate websites rank higher on Google?
+
SEO aligns your pages with buyer intent—e.g., “buy villa in Dubai”, “apartments in Downtown Dubai” and strengthens visibility through technical optimisation, structured data (schema), internal linking, and content targeted to neighbourhoods, unit types, and amenities. Stonehaven delivers an SEO blueprint and on-page build (meta, headings, copy, media, CWV performance), plus tracking and dashboards so you can monitor rankings, leads, and ROI across campaigns.
