Setting Up Property Listing Showcases

This guide shows you how to create professional property listing showcase pages on your Web60 website.

1. Access Your WordPress Dashboard

Log into your WordPress admin dashboard and click "Pages" in the left menu. Click "Add New" to create your property listings page.

2. Set Up Your Main Property Listings Page

Give your page a title like "Properties" or "Available Rentals". In the page editor, add a heading and brief description of your property services.

Click the "+" button to add a new block. Search for "Gallery" and select it. This will be your main property showcase area.

3. Add Property Images

Click "Upload" in the gallery block. Select multiple photos of the same property to create your first listing. Upload exterior shots, interior rooms, and key features.

After uploading, click on each image and add captions with property details like "3 bed semi-detached, Rathmines, €2,200/month".

4. Create Individual Property Pages

For detailed property listings, add new pages for each property. Use the property address as the page title.

Add a gallery block with all property photos. Below this, add text blocks with:

• Property description
• Number of bedrooms/bathrooms
• Monthly rent or sale price
• Key features and amenities
• Location details

5. Add Property Details

Use heading blocks to organize information:

• Property Details (size, type, year built)
• Location & Transport (nearby schools, shops, transport links)
• Features (parking, garden, heating type)
• Viewing Information

Add a contact form at the bottom so potential tenants or buyers can enquire about the property.

6. Link Your Pages Together

Go back to your main property listings page. Under each gallery, add a "Read More" button that links to the individual property page. To do this:

1. Add a "Button" block below each gallery
2. Type "View Property Details" as the button text
3. Click the link icon and select the individual property page

7. Create a Navigation Menu

Add your property pages to your website menu so visitors can find them easily. Go to "Appearance" > "Menus" in your WordPress dashboard. Add your main "Properties" page to the menu.

For more help with menus, see our guide on creating WordPress menus.

8. Add Location Information

Consider adding interactive maps to show property locations. You can also add your business hours and location so clients know when to contact you.

If you're still stuck with setting up your property showcase, contact Web60 support through your account dashboard and we'll help you get it sorted.

FAQ

Q: How many property photos should I upload per listing?

A: Upload 8-15 high-quality photos per property. Include exterior shots, all main rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and any special features like gardens or parking.

Q: Can I add floor plans to my property listings?

A: Yes, upload floor plans as images in your gallery block or add them separately using an image block. Make sure floor plans are clear and easy to read on mobile devices.

Q: How do I organize properties by area or price range?

A: Create separate pages for different areas ("Dublin City Centre Properties", "Southside Rentals") or use heading blocks to group properties by price range on a single page.

Q: Can I add a property search feature?

A: The basic WordPress editor doesn't include search functionality. You can organize properties using categories and provide clear navigation links to help visitors find what they need.

Q: How do I mark a property as "Let Agreed" or "Sold"?

A: Edit the property page and add "LET AGREED" or "SOLD" to the page title. You can also add a text block at the top of the page with this information in bold text.

A: Yes, including prices helps qualify potential tenants and saves time on unsuitable enquiries. Update prices regularly and mark any price changes clearly.

Q: How do I handle property enquiries from my website?

A: Set up a contact form on each property page. Include fields for name, phone, email, and viewing preferences. Check your email regularly and respond to enquiries quickly.
