I have a real estate agent client who wants the site to list the properties they sell. While there are some great third-party web apps that do this, it adamantly requires me to create a simple and customizable website for it.
I can do this quickly with a php framework like Code Igniter which comes with MVC, data access objects and data binding controllers. The database will be simple:
t_page: shared content pages
t_property: for each property in the market there are fields such as address, price, numbers, etc.
However, the client has heard a lot about Wordpress and strongly advises me to build a real estate site with him. I used Wordpress to create blogs and relatively simple websites. I don’t know how effective the content management system in real estate is or how effective it is for users to search for real estate based on attributes such as “number of bedrooms, square meters, basement completion, etc.”,
So my question is: is it a good idea to build a real estate agent website using Wordpress? Or should I try to convince him to build it using a web infrastructure like Code Igniter?
