Prabash Properties is a real estate brokerage led by Prabash Perera, serving Colombo and its suburbs across Athurugiriya, Nugegoda, Maharagama, Malabe and beyond. W3S Solutions designed and built prabashproperties.com as a searchable property listing portal - houses, land, apartments and commercial property for buy, sell, let and lease, each with a photo gallery, full specifications and a clear path for buyers to get in touch.
Built as a custom PHP application backed by a MySQL database, the portal pairs a fast public listing experience with a complete admin back office, so the brokerage can publish new properties, manage member enquiries and keep the whole catalogue current without depending on a developer.
A respected broker can build a name on relationships and word of mouth - but today's buyers and sellers start on a search engine, not a phone call. The traditional way of running a property business quietly leaked enquiries every day:
Listings lived in folders, newspaper ads and the broker's head - invisible to online buyers Property photos and details had to be re-sent by hand to every interested caller No way for a buyer to filter by area, type or buy-versus-rent on their own Serious enquiries mixed with time-wasters, with no record of who was interested Updating or removing a sold property meant reprinting and re-advertising Competitors with a website were being found first, simply by being onlinePrabash Properties needed more than a brochure site. It needed a working property portal where every listing is searchable, every photo is in one place, and every enquiry is captured.
Listing Types - Buy, Sale, Rent & Lease
Properties Listed Online
Property Categories - Houses, Land, Apartments, Commercial & More
Powerful Admin Back Office
W3S replaced the folders and phone calls with a self-service portal. Buyers search by main type - Buy, Sale, Let or Lease - then narrow by property type, area and reference number, and browse paginated results with thumbnails, price, location and availability at a glance.
Each listing opens into a full detail page with an image gallery, room and land-area specifications, pricing and a description - so a property sells itself online, around the clock, long before the broker picks up the phone.
Behind the public site, the brokerage works from a secure admin dashboard: add and edit properties with multiple image uploads and auto-generated thumbnails, manage locations and property types, review registered customers and enquiries, and control staff user accounts - all without touching code.
Built on a custom PHP and MySQL stack with PDO data access and session-based authentication, the back office keeps every listing accurate and lets the team publish a new property in minutes.
Visitors register as members and confirm their identity through an email activation link, with reCAPTCHA guarding the sign-up form against bots - so the brokerage builds a list of genuine, contactable buyers instead of anonymous traffic.
Once verified, members can reach out about a property directly, and every enquiry is captured against the listing - turning casual browsers into real leads the team can follow up.
Prabash Properties moved from a phone-and-paper brokerage to a searchable online portal - visible to buyers who start on Google and able to showcase every listing without lifting a finger.
Every property searchable online, 24/7, instead of hidden in folders Buyers self-serve photos, specs and prices - fewer repetitive phone calls Buy, sell, rent and lease filters across houses, land and commercial property Registered members captured as leads the brokerage can follow up SEO-friendly listings help the brand get found ahead of competitors New listings published and sold properties removed in minutes, in-house
