Icons and Images

For visually engaging features sections, SVG icons are leveraged to create a sophisticated look. You'll find a selection of these icons in the resources/svg directory. To customize or extend the icon set, explore Iconsax, where you can simply copy the desired SVG code for use on your site.

For demonstration purposes, the starter kit includes sample images from unDraw. If you choose to use these resources in a production environment, remember to provide appropriate attribution, which you can conveniently place in the footer.

MAPBOX INTEGRATION

Obtain a Mapbox access token:

• Go to the Mapbox website (https://www.mapbox.com/) and create an account if you don't have one.
• Generate an access token from your Mapbox account dashboard. This token will be used to authenticate your requests to Mapbox services.

Add the Access Token to the .env file

• Open the .env file.
• Add this line VITE_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=.
• After the = sign, paste your Mapbox access token obtained in step 1.
• Save the .env file.

Usage

To use Mapbox with the Real Estate starter kit, follow these steps:

• Access the Statamic CP on your website.
• Depending on your desired usage:
  • To use Mapbox inside the Properties Section, navigate Globals -> Theme. Go to the Settings tab and enable the toggle for Has Map.
  • To use Mapbox inside the Map Section, navigate to the set and fill in the Latitude and Longitude inputs.

Globals

Globals are efficiently organized into different themes for easy customization:

• General
  • Sitename – Update to your agency's name.
  • Logo – Replace the default Cloud logo with your agency's logo (SVG recommended for best resolution and scalability).
• Favicon
  • We've generated all necessary favicon files for you but using our placeholder logo. Update these with your branding for consistency across web browsers. Real Favicon Generator (https://realfavicongenerator.net/) was used to create these and note that a site.webmanifest file is dynamically generated.
• Footer
  • Logo Display – Choose whether to display your logo in the footer.
  • Copyright – Update with your agency’s legal information.
  • Description – Add a brief description or tagline for your agency.
• Sitemap
  • Collections – Select collections to be included in the sitemap (Pages and Posts are set by default).
  • Change Frequency – Advise search engines how often the sitemap should be re-crawled.
  • Priority – Indicate to search engines the relative importance of pages on your site.

SEO

SEO tools are embedded in the page editing interface within the control panel. A dedicated SEO section for each listing ensures that your content is optimized for search engines. The provided Seotamic add-on makes it easy to adjust meta tags, including dynamically generated Open Graph images for improved social sharing:

• Meta
  • Title – Customize the title displayed in search engine results.
  • Title prepend/append – Add a prefix or suffix to the title, drawing from the general SEO settings.
  • Meta Description – Craft a compelling summary for search engine listings. If left blank, search engines will auto-generate a description.
  • Canonical URL – Automatically reflects the page’s URL, but can be customized if needed.
• Social
  • Open Graph Title/Description – Customize how your content appears when shared on social platforms such as Facebook.
  • Twitter Title/Description – Tailor how your content is presented on Twitter.
  • Image – If no specific image is set, a default image will be utilized for social sharing.

For posts, our custom ViewModel App\ViewModels\OgImage.php dynamically generates an Open Graph image based on the Hero Image of a post, enhancing social media visibility. If a static Open Graph image is preferred for each post, this ViewModel can be removed from the Posts collection setup.

Styling

TailwindCSS powers Real Estate's design system; you can alter the primary colors and fonts to curate distinctive styles.

Fonts & Icons

Choose from a wide variety of integrated fonts and icons to further personalize and enhance the user interface.

Compiling Assets

Make use of Laravel Vite for asset compilation:

• npm install - installs dependencies.
