October 2020 update!

Great news - I have rewritten PropertyWebBuilder with a bunch of new features!!! Right now it is in a private repo but if you want early access or to be notified when it becomes publicly available feel free to reach out to me.

You can read more about it here:

https://medium.com/@weebrix/the-future-for-propertywebbuilder-my-open-source-real-estate-website-builder-83edf159a486/

Motivation

This project has been created to address a glaring gap in the rails ecosystem: the lack of an open source project for real estate websites.

The result is that WordPress has become the dominant tool for creating real estate websites. This is far from ideal and PropertyWebBuilder seeks to address this.

Read more about this here: http://propertywebbuilder.com

Demo

You can try out a demo at https://propertywebbuilder.herokuapp.com

To see the admin panel, login as user [email protected] with a password of "pwb123456".

You can see an example of a production site created with PropertyWebBuilder here:

Create your own real estate website with no technical knowledge

The simplest way to create a website with PropertyWebBuilder is to use Heroku, a trusted service provider which has a free plan that you can use.

Just sign up for Heroku, click the button below and in a few minutes your site will be ready

Deploy

You may be asked for credit card details when you create an account but you will not be charged for creating and trying the website. You will only need to pay if you upgrade the service. Here is a video about how to deploy to heroku:

Depoly PWB to heroku

Install as a standalone site

PWB has been designed to be included as an engine in an existing Ruby on Rails app. In this repo I have a Ruby on Rails app that includes PWB.

https://github.com/etewiah/pwb-for-heroku

As the name suggests, the project can be deployed to heroku but it can also be installed locally as follows:

git clone https://github.com/etewiah/pwb-for-heroku.git
cd pwb-for-heroku
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
rails pwb:db:seed
rails pwb:db:seed_pages

Installation within an existing Rails app

Install into an existing Rails project by adding these lines in your applications's Gemfile:

gem 'pwb', git: 'https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder', branch: 'master'
gem 'globalize', git: 'https://github.com/globalize/globalize'
gem 'paloma', github: 'fredngo/paloma'

Also, be sure to use Postgres as your database (by having the "pg" gem and Postgres installed locally - version 9.5 or above) And then execute:

$ bundle

Mount the PropertyWebBuilder by adding the following to your routes.rb file:

mount Pwb::Engine => '/'

and run the ff commands from the console:

rails pwb:install:migrations
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
rails pwb:db:seed
rails pwb:db:seed_pages

I would like PropertyWebBuilder to be available in as many languages as possible so any help with translations will be much appreciated. A basic Spanish version of this document can be found here: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/blob/master/README_es.md
