1 The Opportunity: A Boutique Brokerage Needs a Digital Storefront

Honey & Nuts is a concierge-style real estate business run by a Costa Rican attorney and an expat architect from California. With 65 years of combined experience and a focus on architecturally unique properties, their reputation was built on personal referrals. They needed a website that could match that standard: a polished, functional platform where international buyers could browse curated listings, read market insights, and get in touch, all without needing a developer every time they wanted to add a property or publish a post.

  • Self-Service Listings: Built a CMS where the client can add, edit, and categorize property listings on their own, each with photo galleries, pricing, specs, and location data.
  • Content-Rich Blog: A searchable, categorized blog lets the team publish market commentary and relocation guides, building authority with the expat audience.
  • Trust Through Design: The visual language had to convey the caliber of the properties and the professionalism of the partners behind them, without feeling corporate or sterile.

2 Our Solution: CMS Integration and Tailored UX

Dynamic Property Listings

We implemented a full listing management system. Each property has its own detail page with photo galleries, pricing, area specs, bedroom and bathroom counts, and interactive location data. Visitors can filter by type, price, and category. The client adds and updates listings through an intuitive dashboard.

  • Photo Galleries: High-resolution image displays for each listing.
  • Property Search: Filters for type, category, price, and featured status.
  • Location Data: Map integration and proximity context for every property.

Blog and Content Management

The site includes a fully integrated blog where the Honey & Nuts team publishes articles on Costa Rican living: weather guides, neighborhood breakdowns, and practical relocation advice. Posts are organized by category and author, with social sharing built in. The CMS lets non-technical users draft, schedule, and publish content without touching code.

  • Categorized and searchable article archive.
  • Multi-author support with bio pages.
  • Social sharing and SEO-optimized post structure.
