Smart City Locating partnered with Dreamers of Day to turn a stalled rebuild into a modern, high-performance platform engineered for speed, accessibility, and growth. The new website transforms the renter journey with faster load times, clearer navigation, and a refined design system that brings consistency across cities, neighborhoods, and thousands of apartment listings.

One of the biggest upgrades is a new content management experience built on Gutenberg Blocks. This gives Smart City Locating’s team a more intuitive, visual editing workflow that mirrors the final design and reduces reliance on developers. The platform is easier to scale, more consistent, and significantly more flexible as new markets come online and listing content evolves.

The apartment search experience—powered by React—was completely stabilized and optimized, offering renters a smoother and more reliable way to explore available homes. Mission-critical forms and CRM workflows were rebuilt for accuracy and dependability, ensuring that every lead is captured and routed correctly. Form handling was also migrated from external services into Smart City Locating’s internal tools, creating a more cohesive, maintainable system.

Performance and accessibility were key priorities. The redesigned platform now passes all Core Web Vitals benchmarks, delivers dramatically faster load times, and is built to WCAG 2.2 AA standards. These improvements create a more inclusive experience for all users, no matter their device or abilities.

Smart City Locating continues to evolve the platform through Dreamers of Day’s Managed Website Services program, which monitors more than forty technical touchpoints to maintain reliability and guide ongoing enhancements. As the company expands into new cities and introduces new features, the website adapts with them—ensuring renters always have a polished, fast, and trustworthy starting point in their search for a home.
