Introduction: A Dual Role with a Clear Purpose

Working at Planning Earth Pvt. Ltd. as both a web developer (WordPress, Wix, Shopify) and a network security engineer has allowed me to view projects not just as digital products — but as strategic, secure business tools. Our real estate clients don’t just want beautiful websites. They want leads, conversions, and trust.

From creating platforms for DCC BuildTech LLP in Dholera, Gujarat, to Bhole Baba Investments in Mohali Tricity — our goal has always been clear: build websites that bring real estate businesses new opportunities.

Here’s a look at how we make that happen.

1️ We Start with a Real Estate Mindset — Not Just Web Design

Each real estate company has unique challenges:

  • Location-specific marketing (e.g., Dholera vs. Mohali)

  • Showcasing property listings

  • Gaining trust in a competitive market

  • Generating high-intent leads

Before we touch a line of code, we understand:

  • Who the target buyer is

  • What kind of property portfolio they offer

  • The locality appeal or USP (e.g., smart city in Dholera)

This business understanding shapes everything — from layout to call-to-action buttons.

2️ Platform Selection: Speed, Scalability, Simplicity

We typically use Wix for real estate clients due to:

  • Drag-and-drop flexibility for quick edits

  • Smooth mobile optimization

  • Built-in lead generation tools like forms, chat, booking calendars

For instance, the website for DCC BuildTech LLP was built entirely on Wix Editor — customized with features like:

  • Project gallery

  • Downloadable brochures

  • Contact forms with automated email follow-up

  • Location maps and WhatsApp chat buttons

3️ Lead-Focused Layout & UI Design

We treat every section of the site as a conversion opportunity. Here’s how:

  • Above-the-fold CTA: "Book a Site Visit" or “Download Project Brochure”

  • Trust Elements: Testimonials, developer credentials, RERA compliance

  • Project Listings: With filters (location, price, type)

  • Sticky Contact Icons: Always-visible phone, WhatsApp, and inquiry buttons

  • SEO-Optimized Text: To rank for local keywords like “plots in Dholera” or “property in Mohali”

4️ Security-First Development (Yes, Even for Real Estate)

As a network security engineer, I don’t just build the sites — I also secure them.

For each client site:

  • I perform port scanning and network mapping to check for exposed backend services.

  • Ensure secure form handling and reCAPTCHA to prevent spam or bot-based lead flooding.

  • Regularly check DNS, SSL, and hosting firewall settings to avoid data leaks.

Especially for websites that store or transmit lead data, it’s important that client information is protected from interception or misuse.

5️ Backend Integrations That Power Sales

A good-looking real estate site is useless without a back office pipeline.

We integrate:

  • Lead forms directly to CRM or Google Sheets


  • Email automations (e.g., welcome email after form submission)

  • WhatsApp links to initiate sales conversations instantly

  • Analytics tracking (Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel) to track what’s working

For example, on the Bhole Baba Investments website, we integrated contact forms and map-based directions to help users reach project sites more efficiently.

6️ Results That Matter: Leads, Not Just Clicks

The result? Our clients start receiving:

  • Inquiries from targeted buyers

  • Organic traffic from search engines (via SEO-rich content)

  • Brand trust thanks to clear design and secure hosting

  • Real-time communication via WhatsApp or contact forms

Websites like DCC BuildTech LLP have reported consistent lead flow after launch — helping their sales teams work more efficiently and close deals faster.

Final Thoughts: Building Trust, Not Just Pages

Real estate is built on trust. And so are real estate websites.

At Planning Earth Pvt. Ltd., our mission is to combine:

  • Smart UX design

  • Secure infrastructure

  • Marketing-ready integrations

…to help real estate businesses convert visitors into qualified leads.

As someone who builds and protects these platforms, I take pride in ensuring that every client website we launch is more than just a digital asset — it’s a sales engine.
