Showcasing with Apex27
As part of a collaboration with Saitech UK (IT Support) and Apex27, our involvement was to upgrade the original website from WordPress and integrate property search and customer account handling with advanced filtering using the Apex27 Property Management System.
Highlights
Lightweight and Optimised
The site was rebuilt using lightweight HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, fully optimised to achieve top Lighthouse scores in Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO.
WordPress Security Eliminated
WordPress was removed entirely. All property data is now managed through Apex27's system and API.
Reduced Hosting Costs and Elimination of WordPress Patching
By eliminating third-party plugins and continual patching, we reduced security risks and significantly lowered ongoing operational costs.
