Alreka Administration (Pty) Ltd & Alreka Estate (Pty) Ltd Designer Duel Website Proposal
Domain: to confirm
Software: WordPress
Website Development
In this proposal, you’ll find specific details of how we can create a website that achieves your goals as per the brief supplied.
Our breakdown is based on all content (such as wording for the various sections) and beautiful high res images being supplied by yourself. Should you require a photographer for images (original images are always better than stock images) or a copywriter for content, this can be arranged at an additional fee.
You already own the domain alreka.com. You can either discuss with your current host regarding increasing your package to allow for a website as well and once the site is ready, we will move it onto your current host’s server.
Alternatively, you can move from your current host to our hosting server (with the same domain) and we can manage your hosting + website. This is highly suggested, as if you choose to partner with us as your web developing team and we host the site, we are able to keep the site and plugins up-to-date. We also follow all government policies such as the recent POPIA ACT and the site’s terms of use would be updated accordingly. Should you encounter any email issues, you also contact us directly, and not a call centre. So everything web-related is kept in one neat little package, and you have one point of contact.
We have the pleasure of detailing what we have researched and the options we propose below:

BLOG + INTEGRATION
Both sites include a blog and social media integration. It does not include creating all of the website platforms and keeping them updated. Should you require a fee for monthly online/social media marketing, please let us know. We would love to send through our marketing packages and continue working with you on these very exciting projects. - We suggest that one set of social media business pages are created for both businesses, rather than being separate.
Our Solution
DUEL WEBSITE (two websites in one) The website will have a landing page that will link to either site. the administration site and the estate site. As per this example: https://www.sophieandluna.com/
ADMINISTRATION SITE
This site will focus on the admin services offered and will have standard service pages such as: ● Home ● About ● Services Offered ● Clients or projects worked on (if necessary) ● Contact ● Blog
ESTATE SITE
This site will focus on renovation projects and the sales of completed houses. The main focus of the site will be the properties. They will be shown in two separate post types: - Projects: These will be the renovation projects and will showcase the before, during and after of the project with information about what is being done - Properties: These will be the completed properties that are available to purchase from the public. They will include features (such as bedrooms, bathrooms, garages etc) as well as photos, asking price and contact forms. There can also be a link to the related project so that the visitor can view the transformation. Properties will be searchable by location and features. The pages on the Estate site could be: ● Home ● About ● Projects ● Properties ● Contact ● Blog These goals can be best achieved through the development of a custom wordpress website with listing functionality. The above is based on the brief sent through. Any other specific functionality will need to be researched and discussed accordingly.
