Stunning Edits, Hidden Behind a Plain Website

Propitors is a real estate media studio that edits photos and videos for estate agents, property photographers and owners. With over a decade of experience, their team handles HDR enhancement, flash ambient, virtual staging, decluttering, virtual twilight, floor plans and property video editing.

Most of their work came through referrals and repeat photographers. They sell visual quality, but their old website did little to show it. Services were lumped together, examples were small and pages loaded slowly. They needed a site that let the work sell itself.

Initial Requirements

  • Give every editing service its own page
  • Show real before-and-after examples
  • Keep image-heavy pages fast to load
  • Make it easy to ask a question or start an order

Main Objective

Let the work sell itself and turn visitors into regular clients.

Success Measure

More enquiries, faster pages and deeper browsing across services.

The Challenge

Understanding the Challenge

Propitors had skilled editors and happy photographers. But four connected website problems hid the quality of their work, and each one made the others worse.

Hidden Quality

Edits were shown as small, scattered images, so visitors couldn't see the difference Propitors actually made.

What wasn't working

The work didn't speak for itself.

Lumped Services

HDR, virtual staging, twilight and video editing were bundled together, so agents couldn't find the exact service they needed.

What wasn't working

Visitors couldn't find their service.

Slow Pages

Large, uncompressed images made pages slow to load, especially on the phones agents use between viewings.

What wasn't working

Visitors left before images loaded.

No Clear Start

There was no obvious way to ask a question or start a first order, so interested visitors drifted away.

What wasn't working

Interest rarely became enquiries.

What the client wanted to achieve: a fast, visual website that showed the quality of every edit, explained each service clearly and made it easy for agents and photographers to get started.

Research & Strategy

Our Approach & Strategy

Before designing anything, we studied the old site, competing editing studios and how agents and photographers choose an editor.

Website Audit

We reviewed content, image sizes, speed and mobile usability to find where visitors lost interest.

Competitor Analysis

We studied popular real estate editing services: how they showed examples, priced their work and brought on new clients.

Target Audience

We mapped three groups: estate agents needing listing-ready images, photographers outsourcing edits and owners selling privately.

Why This Solution

In a visual business the work is the pitch, so we built every page around before-and-after examples and a clear next step.

Bringing the Vision to Life

A structured five-week approach kept every stage transparent and on time. Select a stage to see what happened.

Stage 1 of 7 · Week 1

Discovery

We started with a review of the existing site and how new clients found Propitors. We then spoke with the team about their most requested services and strongest edits.

Our Solution

The Solution We Delivered

Four connected workstreams, each one solving a specific part of the challenge.

Service Pages

A Page for Every Editing Service

HDR enhancement, flash ambient, virtual staging, decluttering, virtual twilight, floor plans, exteriors and video editing each got their own page. Each one explains what the service does and when an agent needs it.

Solves: lumped services that left visitors unable to find what they needed.

Before & After Showcase

Examples That Prove the Quality

Each service shows real before-and-after edits side by side, alongside reviews from agents and photographers. Visitors judge the quality for themselves rather than relying on claims.

Solves: hidden quality that undersold a visual business.

Image Optimisation & Speed

Image-Heavy Pages That Still Load Fast

Every image was compressed, resized and set to load as visitors scroll. Galleries stay sharp without slowing the site down on phones or slower connections.

Solves: slow pages that lost visitors before the images appeared.

Enquiry Routes & Tracking

An Easy Way to Get Started

Live chat, email and phone sit on every page, with clear “Check Our Services” routes in between. Every chat and contact click is tracked in Google Analytics 4.

Solves: interested visitors leaving without getting in touch.

What Our Client Says

★★★★★
“We've always been proud of our edits, but our old website didn't do them justice. CodeCrackers built a site where every service shows the before and after clearly. It loads quickly, looks professional, and new agents now get in touch already sure about our quality.”
