GetDevDone

Client The Playground reached out to us for assistance with the redevelopment of the website of their client – a London-based lettings agency Winchester White. Challenge The legacy site’s native CMS made content updates slow and developer-dependent. The new build needed responsive pages, seamless property listings ingestion, and reliable analytics/SEO tooling. Solution GetDevDone rebuilt the website on WordPress, shipping the front end in milestone batches (homepage, key service pages, careers, guides, journal, FAQs) with clean HTML/CSS and dynamic JS (AJAX filters/sort, maps, sliders). On the back end we implemented custom post types (News, FAQs, Staff), curated and tuned essential plugins (ACF, Yoast, Redirection, GDPR Cookie Consent, WP REST Cache, etc.), and replaced a custom BLM import with Property Hive + BLM Import add-on, saving ~3 weeks of custom development while preserving the client’s listing flow. We migrated and optimized the stack on Nimbus hosting. Results Content management shifted to the business team; no dev hand-offs for routine updates. Faster, filterable property search with map/grid views and REST caching for heavy listings. Lower cost and quicker delivery via off-the-shelf BLM import (vs. bespoke integration). Smooth launch and ongoing collaboration with the agency. Tech/Plugins WordPress, ACF (+ extensions), Yoast, Property Hive (+ BLM Import), WP REST Cache, Contact Form 7, Stripe Express, Google Maps.
