Spinbox and RSL Systems were commissioned on behalf of the Mayor of
London to produce a website that allowed its users to search for, and
apply to live in, affordable homes in London. The system allows
Registered Providers and Housing Developers to log on to a back end
system and upload and edit homes that can be searched by those who
qualify for low cost home ownership.
Users can register with
FIRST STEPS, which is delivered by two of London’s largest housing
providers, L&Q and Metropolitan Home Ownership (MHO), and complete
an intuitive online application form. Users are able to save their
progress throughout the application, but once complete, it is processed
by backend staff.
With integrated maps, a detailed search
facility, bespoke CMS, and a very clever affordability calculator; this
website is the flag ship for all London housing websites.
The
back end system was a bespoke application developed in house by RSL
Systems who have an intimate knowledge of the property market place.
Having completed online projects for many housing providers in the past,
we were ideally placed to be able to deliver the project swiftly and
competently whilst being presented with a stunning front end website
designed by us at Spinbox.
