FAQs

What kind of design should be used for your Real Estate website?

The design should be neat and simple to create a feeling of confidence and trust. No need to mention that a messy design, other than making people feel stressed, would damage your reputation and trustworthiness. Furthermore, pay high attention to the wireframe, as it should be as straightforward as possible. Last element we would like to recommend is to have a dynamic design rather than a static design as the static design doesn’t feel like a professional real estate agency.

Which CMS should be used to build a website for a Real Estate website?

For a regular real estate website, WordPress is recommended. There is no need to make the project complicated with a dedicated CMS.

However, if you want the website for a large real estate and need a private portal, a dedicated CMS is most probably needed.

How long does it take to build a Real Estate website?

Depending on the scale of your project, it would be different. On average, it takes around 3 weeks up to 2 months to create such a website. We suggest you read the How long does it take to create a website in Dubai article for more information.

How much does it cost to build a website for a Real Estate?

The cost of a real estate website depends on the required features. The more features you need on your website, the more money you should invest. As always, we recommend you to work with registered companies. There are freelancers and some Indian companies out there who offer very low prices which are really tempting. However, in most cases, you will end up with a low quality and useless website.

On average, the cost of such a website starts somewhere around AED 5,000, and goes up to AED 20,000, depending on the project.

We suggest you read the How Much Does a Website Cost in Dubai article to understand the website prices.
