Yes, a WordPress site would indeed work well for your property business.

There are a number of options:

  • Code a plugin to extract and display data from your existing database (as was done with Mocklershill)
  • Use a ready-made WordPress real estate theme with property listing functionality built in
  • Use any WordPress theme coupled with a real estate plugin
  • Create your own listing structure using Custom Taxonomies*

*Custom taxonomies would allow full unhindered and ongoing customisation by you, the user. Yeah, I know it sounds scary but trust me it isn’t. There is an excellent presentation by Brad Williams that is worth viewing.

ps. To take the pain of coding away, there’s an excellent plugin called Custom Post Type UI.

Good colours. And of course a Tipperary business that I have dealt with! Would a Wordpress site work for a business like ours? Need a searchable database etc. Good job. Nice site. Good colours.
