The background:
Boliga Group, a media company that runs multiple online portals in the housing market, attracts approximately 1.9 million visitors monthly to its Danish websites. www.Boliga.dk, the country’s largest and most established real estate listing website, has operated since the early days of the Internet.
In 2015, some of its UX patterns needed to be updated, and the UI design started to feel out of place in the modern era. So, they tasked us with redesigning and rebuilding the website to propel it into the next online era.
The essence of the project:
The client requested that the portal’s foundation be maintained and only the necessary parts repaired, so we left it with minimal interference.
Naturally, we focused all our efforts on the visual part of the portal that users interact with directly. Since we had to rebuild it from the ground up, we rolled our sleeves up, dived right in and began working on the website design, suggesting familiar elements and some entirely new and unique ones.
After several months of coding new frontend tools and frameworks, we seamlessly integrated them into the existing database, ensuring a smooth transition for Boliga’s users. The Boliga website was successfully launched, and since then, we have consistently provided post-launch support services.
In recent years, we have also introduced numerous new features to the website, including its mobile version.
This project was particularly captivating for our team. We were thrilled to develop many unique features for the website. One of these was a tool to calculate the amount of sunlight a house or apartment would receive throughout the day. This innovative feature allowed users to interact with the page and simulate the entire day in their chosen apartment.
It was our first time working on something like this, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Project result:

Every Dane who uses the internet knows the website, and we proudly consider it one of our flagship projects.
