Value proposition

Calafate Propiedades unites the public catalog, transactional emails (leads), and property management in a single Next.js environment, achieving perfect synergy between performance, data consistency, and operability.

The problem

A modern technological solution was required to centrally manage the property inventory, while providing an extremely fast catalog for users and a reliable flow for capturing potential clients (leads).

The platform enables:

  • High-speed property catalog
  • Contact forms integrated with transactional emails
  • Administrative panel for full inventory management
  • Centralized property and lead management

Methodology and development

Development focused on leveraging the latest Next.js capabilities to deliver a fast and secure platform:

  1. 1 — Architecture with Next.js App Router

    Project structuring using the Next.js App Router to maximize performance and clearly organize public and administrative routes.

  2. 2 — Database and validation

    Implementation of Prisma ORM along with strict validation using Zod, ensuring consistent data between the public web and the admin.

  3. 3 — Media optimization

    Integration with Cloudinary for image uploading, including automatic conversion to modern formats like WebP/JPEG for a fast catalog.

  4. 4 — Security and administrative flows

    Configuration of Auth.js and Next.js Middlewares to protect operational routes and administrative flows of the control panel.

Interface & product screens

Optimized design for both public customer navigation and internal operational management.
