The Flex Studio - Web Design Company

Award winning design, enterprise level content management, client / lead management and an advanced email marketing platform combine to give you every tool required to help differentiate your company in this competitive market.

Key features of our real estate application portal:

• Powerful content management features – Allows you to manage your complete property portfolio and all site features in-house via any internet enabled connection, whether that is at the office, home or on the road.


• Configure all site attributes – Manage and define all available attributes including available countries / regions / areas, property types (i.e. house, flat, new development, land) property features (i.e. swimming pool, garage, air conditioning, heating) property amenities, property views (i.e. beach, marina, lake) etc.


• Have multiple agents – Add agents that can upload and (manage) their property portfolio to your site via a scaled down content management system. You remain in complete control over all agents, specifying the number, type and locations they can upload to.


• Accept XML feeds – Automatically import XML feeds from property suppliers, saving hundreds of hours in manual data entry.


• No design limitations – Unlike other systems, our real estate portal can work with any type of design. The content management system in no way limits the design potential of your site.


• Multi language compatible – add additional languages and either manually translate text or have Google Translate automatically do it for you.


• Multi currency – allow visitors to your site to view properties in their own currency. Rates are automatically updated every day via a feed from the Central European Bank.

Welcome to The Flex Studio Website Owners' Manual.

This guide has been written to help you navigate the complexities of developing and running your own website.
We get asked a lot of questions when developing websites, and do a lot of talking. But by far the biggest problem we face is not in coming up with the answers, but in communicating them. And it works in reverse too - how do designers and clients tell us what it is they want when the language and technology stand in their way?

This document came along as a means of bridging that communication gap. It serves as a discussion point when planning your project, giving you a way into the sometimes difficult process of finding a simple solution. It also outlines the design and development process, shows you how to compile a bug report and offers useful advice on topics like search engine performance.
This manual is a working document and we encourage you to use it throughout the life-cycle of your website.

You can read our manual in full PDFiness here ... enjoy!
