Sitings Platform

Sitings is a real estate company, and I contributed to their website by creating features that enable clients to explore property listings through an interactive, user-friendly interface. I completed this project during my internship at HopeMediaHouse, where I was provided with the designs, and my role was to execute them. The platform prominently features a Google Maps integration, displaying properties as clustered pins. This allows users to visually browse locations and utilize a ‘Search in this area’ feature, which dynamically filters listings based on the current map bounds. Beyond the map, the system includes comprehensive attribute-based filtering—users can narrow down properties by various criteria, with all selections persisting in the URL so filtered views can be shared or bookmarked. The technical foundation relies on PHP and WordPress's ACF plugin to manage custom post types and metadata for properties and tenants, which are then rendered across multiple page templates: a main listings page with all the filters, an individual property page, and a tenant page. Every filter state and map position is encoded in the URL parameters, meaning when someone refreshes the page or shares a link, the exact view is preserved and reapplied automatically. I built the frontend using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript alongside PHP templating, which gave me a solid grasp of how these fundamental technologies work together in a real-world application. The project is live at sitings.ca and continues to serve the company's clients in their property search process.
