“Working with Md Sayeed was an incredible experience. Despite the technical limitations of using WordPress, he delivered a high-performing, feature-rich real estate platform that looks and functions like global leaders such as Zillow. His attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and commitment to performance exceeded my expectations. The site is secure, fast, and scalable — exactly what I envisioned. Highly recommended!”

Client Profile:

Dowelz is an innovative real estate platform transforming how people search for homes across Nigeria. Whether it’s for renting, buying, or investing, Dowelz connects users with the right properties through an intuitive interface, powerful search filters, and reliable listings. With a strong focus on customer empowerment, the platform delivers up-to-date information and a secure, user-centric experience to make real estate decisions easy and confident.

The Challenge:

Azeez Alabi, a seasoned Software Test Engineer and the visionary behind Dowelz, approached us with a bold request:
“I want to build something like Zillow in America or Rightmove in the UK.”

While Zillow and Rightmove are custom-coded platforms built with complex technologies, Azeez wanted to replicate similar functionality using WordPress. This presented a unique challenge—to match the performance, user experience, and features of major real estate portals within the scope of a flexible, no-code platform like WordPress.

Key requirements included:

  • Listing profile system with media galleries
  • High speed and performance
  • Push notifications and mobile responsiveness
  • Efficient search and filtering algorithms
  • Map-based property browsing
  • User registration and login system
  • Secure backend
  • Large property database capacity

The Solution:

We delivered a high-performance WordPress-powered real estate platform tailored to the Nigerian market, matching the features and flow of Zillow-style portals.

Key Deliverables:

  • Custom Property Listings: Developed a dynamic listing system supporting rich media, amenities, and location-based filtering.
  • Advanced Search & Filters: Integrated an intelligent filter and search bar with multiple criteria (location, type, price, etc.).

  • Google Maps Integration: Enabled map-based browsing to enhance the user journey.
  • User Accounts & Dashboard: Implemented registration, login, and user profile management for agents and users.

  • Security: Applied strong security layers to protect both listing data and user information.
  • Performance Optimization: Used caching, image optimization, and lightweight design for high speed.
  • Mobile-Friendly UI: Ensured seamless experience on all screen sizes.

  • Scalability: Structured the backend to handle thousands of listings with minimal lag.

The Results:

The launch of the Dowelz platform marked a major milestone in Nigeria’s real estate technology landscape:

  • Scalability & Performance: Thanks to optimized architecture and backend design, the site is capable of handling a large volume of listings without compromising speed or responsiveness—essential for real estate platforms expecting steady growth.
  • User Engagement: The advanced search and filtering system, along with map integration, encouraged longer session times and increased property exploration across different regions of Nigeria.
  • Stronger Brand Perception: The modern design and clean interface elevated Dowelz’s brand credibility, positioning it as a serious player in the Nigerian real estate sector.
  • Positive Client Experience: Azeez Alabi was highly satisfied with the outcome, praising the platform’s performance, flexibility, and professional execution—especially considering the technical challenges of recreating a complex system within WordPress.
  • Industry-Level Functionality: Despite being built on WordPress, the website successfully replicated the experience and core features of top-tier platforms like Zillow and Rightmove. From high-speed performance to interactive map browsing and seamless search filters, the user experience is both professional and intuitive.
