Aamir NawazTrent Estate AgentsFrom the brief to the result.
Where Trent Estate Agents was when we met, what we built together, and what changed once it went live.

-
01 · The challenge
Where they were.
Trent Estate Agents is an independent agency in Nottingham that shares one address with its own solicitors and mortgage broker. Their website was an off-the-shelf portal template: it didn't look like Trent, it wasn't theirs to keep, and it was due to expire at the end of October. Aamir wanted a proper agency site with live listings, over 30 pages and 25 guides, without it turning into a chore to run.
-
02 · Our solution
What we did.
We started with the brand: a new logo, colours and type, set out in a brand guidelines document. Then we designed and built the site on Wix Headless, with 11 page designs, 18 service pages running off one template, 25 guides in Wix Blog and every form feeding into Wix. Listings come straight from Apex27, the estate agency software the team already uses.
-
03 · The results
What changed.
Trent now owns a website that looks like the agency they are. New properties reach the site without anyone typing them in twice, the team edits everything else from the Wix dashboard they already know, and the agency, its services and its FAQs are marked up with structured data so search engines can read them properly.

How the Wix and Apex27 integration works.
Trent's team lists properties in Apex27, their estate agency software. The website runs on Wix Headless, with every listing stored in the Wix CMS. We connected the two, so a new or updated listing reaches the site in seconds and nobody types it in twice.
- 01 · In Apex27
The team lists a property
They add or update a listing in Apex27, exactly as they always have. Nothing changes in how they work.
Listing added or changed - 02 · Webhook
Apex27 tells the site straight away
Apex27 sends the change to the website the moment it's saved, so there's no waiting for an overnight feed.
Sent instantly - 03 · Wix CMS
The listing is saved in Wix
It's written into the Properties collection in the Wix CMS within seconds. Listings that haven't changed are skipped.
Saved in about 3 seconds - 04 · The website
The site shows it
Property pages, the search and the homepage all read their listings from the Wix CMS, so the property appears on the site.
Live on the site
Every detail carried across
Price and price label, status, bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms, key features, photos, floorplans, the EPC and the virtual tour all come from Apex27.
Only what's changed
Every listing carries a fingerprint of its details, so the site only rewrites a property when something in Apex27 has actually changed.
Sold, let and off the market
Status changes come straight through, and a property that comes off the market is taken off the site on its own.
The team's touches stay put
Marking a property as featured, adding a note or choosing a different main photo happens in Wix, and the feed never overwrites it.
Search filters that match the stock
The property types in the site's search come from Apex27's own list, so the filters always match what Trent actually lists.
Checked, and tested first
The latest update and the last full sync report sit in the Wix CMS for a quick health check, and changes are rehearsed on a test copy before they go live.
The thinking behind it.
Trent had the people and the reputation, but their website was a rented template that said nothing about them. So we gave them a brand of their own first: a new logo with a teal river running through it, a navy, orange and teal palette, and Quinlee Sans with Plus Jakarta Sans for type, all set out in brand guidelines. Then we built the site on Wix Headless, which let us connect it to Apex27 while the team keeps editing pages, guides and forms in the Wix dashboard they already know. The listings look after themselves, and the site is Trent's to keep.

I was worried we'd have to learn something new. It's the same Wix dashboard, the listings update themselves, and the site finally looks like the agency we are.
Aamir NawazTrent Estate AgentsYes. Trent Estate Agents' website runs on Wix and takes its listings from Apex27. When a property is added or changed in Apex27, Apex27 sends the update to the site and the listing is saved in the Wix CMS automatically.
Within seconds. When Apex27 sends an update, the listing is saved into the Wix CMS, which is where the site reads its listings from. On Trent's site, a recent update was saved about three seconds after Apex27 sent it.
Yes. Your team keeps working in Apex27 exactly as before, and the website follows along. Nobody has to type a listing in twice.
Yes. Pages, guides, photos and forms are all edited in the Wix dashboard. You can also mark a property as featured, add a note or pick a different main photo in Wix, and the next update from Apex27 won't overwrite it.
We can run a full catch-up sync at any time. It checks every listing against Apex27, adds anything new, updates anything that's changed, takes down anything that's come off the market and writes a short report.
Trent's site is built on Wix Headless, where the site is written in code and connects to Apex27 directly. If your site is on Wix Studio, we'll look at what you have and recommend the best route. Either way, you still run everything from a Wix dashboard.
The go-ahead, and access to your Apex27 account so the connection can be set up. We test everything on a copy of your listings first, so your live site isn't touched until it's ready.
Every agency's setup is a little different, so after a short call about what you need, we give you a fixed price before any work starts.
