Case study Small teams

Orderly updates for buyer area inquiries content.

How an independent residential sales agency in Santa Rosa, California got structured change request, named approver, before-and-after preview and publication check, live in 25 working days.

Before

Where they started

The buyer area inquiries page changed via hallway conversations and vague emails. What exactly to replace was left to the publisher's interpretation.

The cost of it

What was going wrong

With buyer area inquiries, request, approval and publication were three separate versions of the same change, reconciled by memory.

What we built

Each change request captures the page, existing text, new text and approver in one short record. Updates touching neighborhood information and the agency's buying process go through the identical review before anything goes live.

After

What changed

When it comes to buyer area inquiries, one recorded version connects the requester, the approver and the publisher. Routine edits stop generating clarification chains.

“When something about buyer area inquiries changes, I want to see the exact wording before it goes up. The approval process is that simple now.”

Questions about this project

How long did this project take?

25 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The working-day count starts once the client has approved the content, so the pace of approvals decides the start date.

Which plan includes this kind of work?

Revisions and a portal built for how you actually work (every plan). So a build like this fits The Listing, the entry plan, from $137 a month.

Why is the business not named?

Case studies on GetRealtorWebsite describe each client by the kind of business and the region rather than by name. The quote is from the named contact, in their own words, and is published with their permission.
