Buyers arrive on a listing and judge the agency by the page around it. Redesign the pages you control — home, agent profiles, area guides — without disturbing the listing feed.

Most real estate sites are a search interface bolted to a brochure. The search side is usually driven by a feed or a third-party plugin you don't control; the brochure side is entirely yours, and it's where the redesign belongs.
Property photos set the standard
Listing photography is the most-viewed content on the site, so the layout around it has to be at least as considered. A cramped gallery, small thumbnails or images squeezed by a sidebar undercut the photography a vendor paid for.
Generous image presentation is the single most valuable change on an agency site, and it's a layout decision rather than a data one — which means it's reachable without touching the feed.
Agent pages carry the relationship
Sellers choose an agency partly on the people. Agent profile pages tend to be neglected — a low-resolution headshot, three lines of biography, and a phone number in the footer.
They're static pages you fully control, they take minutes to redesign, and for a listing pitch they matter more than the homepage does.
Enquiry paths, on a phone
Most property browsing happens on a phone, often outside the property. Calling or messaging has to be reachable without hunting.
A tappable phone number, a short enquiry form, and a clear route to arrange a viewing — checked at 390 pixels wide rather than on a desktop, which is where these sites are usually reviewed and never used.
Common questions
Will a redesign break my listing feed?
The feed is a data integration and a front-end redesign doesn't touch it. Listing templates that render feed data need reworking rather than pasting.
Which pages should I prioritise?
The homepage and agent profiles — both are fully under your control and both influence winning instructions.
Can I redesign individual property pages?
Those are usually templates driven by feed data, so they're a developer task. The design can guide them.
What matters most on mobile?
Photo size and the enquiry path. Both are commonly compromised on small screens.
Redesign your agent profiles first — they're quick, entirely yours, and they win instructions.
