Need help finding a website application

[Deleted84049]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hey guys, <br /> <br /> I have spent a lot of time trying to find a certain application for my website. My limited knowledge in web design is preventing me from finding it, so I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.<br /> <br /> It is basically a search application, where you can set filters (such as location, price, etc) that compares business.<br /> I&#039;m sure when you see one you will know it, but I have no idea what it&#039;s called or how to look for it.<br /> <br /> I&#039;ve added a picture of an example (this is a Dutch real estate site, but the functionality is the same as what I mean.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/attachments/1609593423449-webp.36177/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/data/attachments/32/32804-c99f474f4a084e27ac6b3e462532718e.jpg?hash=5UxvyRL3am" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1609593423449.webp" title="1609593423449.webp" width="244" height="200" loading="lazy" /></a><br /> <br /> Would be amazing if you guys can help me find it, or tell me what these types of apps are called.<br /> Thanks a million! <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">WordPress based website your building? Have a look at &quot;Toolset&quot;<br /> <br /> What your trying to create are &quot;Custom Post Types&quot; or CPT and use &quot;Advance Fields&quot; and then create search filters based on these features. Have built a few Web Apps like this in the past with Toolset.</div>

Will it require any coding?<br /> <br /> And also there is no free plug-in or anything that can achieve the same result? Just asking before I buy Toolset for a year. <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">There are loads of free alternatives but need to try to figure what works with what etc. Toolset is combined suite. There is a bit of a learning curve, maybe take a look at their free tutorials to understand how they work etc. It took me a while to get my head around it.<br /> <br /> The main thing your after is Filter Search - <a href="https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-search/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">Creating a Custom Search in WordPress - Toolset</a><br /> <br /> The majority of the plugin is no code, there might be some basic code for queries. The tutorial above should cover it all. This method will give you a decent level of customisation to get it to work as you want.<br /> <br /> You could go for a theme with the search feature, but you&#039;re really limited by whats included in the theme and their standard of coding.</div>

Thanks again. I&#039;ll check it out, but it&#039;s a bit pricey for only this thing that I&#039;m trying to create.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I am a fullstack developer and have built multiple MVP&#039;s and am currently working on one with the same general structure as this. This is my opinion and not representative of perfection.<br /> <br /> Options are:<br /> <br /> 1. Build it yourself from scratch:<br /> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use a Javascript framework (Vue, React) - this will allow your site UX to be 10x better than what you can expect from Wordpress. Host it on a CDN platform and reap the rewards of fast load times converting users</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hardest option, requires time, learning, and well thought out project structure (frontend/backend)</li> </ul>2. Use a Wordpress Plugin on top of your Wordpress site:<br /> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This option allows you to solve the problem a bit more custom</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Still will require work and depending on your understanding of PHP and custom WP plugins (because you will almost certainly have to modify it to match your needs) could be a nightmare to maintain as requirements change</li> </ul>3. Use a pre-built theme:<br /> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Immediately solves your problem in a plug-n-play manner - I always use ThemeForest specifically for larger listing type MVP&#039;s because time matters</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Will get developer updates from the team that built it as if its your own developer team</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Best Part</b>: quickly test your idea. If it works you can take time to build it from scratch with the exact features and usability you want while also running the business idea to narrow down needs.</li> </ul>Personally I would do #3 while learning/working on #1.</div>
