Why you should learn to build custom real estate sites
While there are themes dedicated to real estate sites, nothing lets you deliver exactly what your client needs better than a custom design. Toolset allows you to build complete real estate sites quickly and easily. You can start from scratch or from our reference design. Then, customize everything from the visual design to the exact functionality.
This course starts with the basics (how to set-up custom types, fields and taxonomies) and quickly moves on to the subjects that are specific to real estate sites. We assume no prior knowledge and teach from scratch.
