Commercial Real Estate App

Hi out there,
I am new on this amazing platform and I want to build a Commercial Real Estate App on top force.com. I know there are a couple in the AppExchange but they are too extensive for my needs. 
I know all the functionality I want to include.
My question is if I can use the Lightning to do this or if I need to write code?
Best Regards,
- Jörgen Ekelund

Hello!
Welcome to the Salesforce Platform!  The answer to your question is difficult because you do not give details as to the functionality you are looking for. There are many, many processes that can be developed for Salesforce using 'point and click' functionality (no code). These processes can be put together for a fully functioning app, on both the Salesforce Classic interface and the new Lightning Interface.  It is recommended that you go through the Trailhead tutorials for much more information on how design and use those. Whether or not you have to write code is completely dependent on 'how' you want your App to work.  Before determining whether you 'need to write code', create the Business documentation and Use Cases for your app (describing how its supposed to operate from a high-level).  If you are not sure how to go about writing it, then might I suggest writing it in the format that Salesforce has used to provide 'test cases' that need to be solved using Salesforce.  One such example can be found at the new 'Supebadge' trailheads.  An example is here (https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/en/super_badges/superbadge_apex" target="_blank) (See the 'Use Case' section on that page). After you do that, you will have a much clearer picture of the different 'components' and 'features' your app will have, and then you can do your research into each of these to determine the level of effort and tools on the platform you will need to create such an app.
Hapy trails!

a real estate app can be built with declarative features alone. However u might need to code if u want to put it into a competititve market like appexchange where Extra features would need coding.

Hello Jörgen,
Lightning provides incredible functionality for simple apps developers. You can use it for most modules of your future app. Though there are some aspects of the app that might be difficult to build using Lightning. Mostly it's about databases. If you create a real estate platform, all the data must be segmented using databases and stored somewhere. You should also think of features provided by third-party companies. For example, integrating mapping service, or 3D virtual room tours (which are getting extremely popular now!).
I recommend you reading this guide (https://yalantis.com/blog/rental-search-app/) on creating an app like Zillow. After reading you'll have a clear understanding of what modules you want to implement, what modules can be created with the help of Lightning, and what 3rd-party services you might use.
Creating a real estate app is a really challenging task, so you should take advantage of all information, development platforms, APIs, and SDKs available.
Good luck with your project, and welcome to Salesforce!

Hello Jorgen,

You have not shared the actual functionality you want to add to your real estate apps. The decision regarding coding simply depends on the features you want to add to your app. The app can be built without coding but if you need to add technicality or want to build a robust app to stay ahead of your competitors then you might need coding knowledge. Real estate app development is not an easy task therefore first gain all the required insights and then start your app-building process.

It wasn’t long ago that most investors were using a pager attached to their belts to stay connected to their businesses. Safe to say, the popularity of cell phones has significantly changed the investing world.

While the set of functions the author wanted to add still remains to be explored, we’d like to remind you that it is a viable option to outsource the real estate app development.

The app can be built without coding if it is super simple, but to prosper on the market, one would need coding. Real Estate app development (https://gloriumtech.com/real-estate/) is by no means easy, requires experience and not just from the coding part.

Hello Jörgen Ekelund,
Welcome to the platform! Building a Commercial Real Estate App on top of force.com can be an exciting project. To achieve your desired functionality, you have a couple of options.

Firstly, you can leverage the Lightning platform, which provides a range of declarative tools and components that allow you to build applications with minimal or no code. Using Lightning, you can create a user-friendly interface and configure various functionalities without writing extensive code. However, if the existing apps on the AppExchange are too extensive for your needs, it might be beneficial to consider writing custom code. Hiring remote developers experienced in force.com development could be a valuable solution. They can help you tailor the app precisely to your requirements, ensuring it meets your business objectives while keeping the development process efficient. By hiring remote developers, you can tap into a global talent pool, allowing you to work with skilled professionals who specialize in force.com development. They can help you implement the desired functionality, enhance the user experience, and customize the app according to your unique needs.

So, to summarize, while Lightning offers a range of declarative tools, if you require a more tailored solution, it is recommended to hire remote developers (https://www.aspired.io/blog/hire-remote-developers) who can write custom code for your Commercial Real Estate App on top of force.com. They can provide the expertise and flexibility needed to meet your specific requirements.
Best regards, Kaleem

I'm new to this platform and your question about building a Commercial Real Estate App on force.com caught my attention. It's great to hear that you've already identified your app's functionalities.

I'd recommend checking out the resource at (https://limeup.io/blog/uk-software-companies/) for insights into UK software companies that might be able to help you with your project. They could provide valuable guidance and expertise on using Lightning, minimizing the need for extensive coding, or finding the right balance between customization and coding.

It's always beneficial to tap into the experience of experts in the field to ensure your project's success. Good luck with your app development journey!

When you're looking to develop a Commercial Real Estate App on the force.com platform, it's crucial to note that several options are available on the AppExchange. The capabilities of Lightning components could potentially meet your needs without requiring extensive custom code development. However, I’d also recommend apply to professionals for designing the app or web. Also, think over in advance the way of promotion the app and explaining its features. 
If you intend to market your product via your social networks, website, or news platforms, these channels are indispensable. Specifically, SaaS explainer video (https://bluecarrot.io/marketing/11-saas-videos-examples-marketing-trends/) plays crucial role in effectively communicating with your audience. As you see, online visibility becomes imperative for apps cloud-based digital products. 
In the mentioned article, there are showcases of top-notch SaaS explainer videos and other recent discoveries. Hope it will help you to not only to design the app, but also to outperform all marketing techniques for SaaS.
