8 practical guides for property developers and WordPress site owners who don't know a plugin exists yet.
How to create an HTML image map with clickable areas
An image map gives different parts of one image their own links. Native HTML uses an img element with usemap, a named map, and an area for each clickable region. It works well for a simple diagram with a few links. Here is a small example and what to change when the image needs to resize.
How to show apartment availability on your WordPress website
Most property developers start with a PDF floor plan or a static image on their site. Buyers have to call or email to find out which apartments are still available — and by then half of them have moved on. This guide shows you how to publish a live availability map on WordPress without any custom development.
How to add an interactive floor plan to WordPress
A static floor plan image answers 'what does the layout look like?' but nothing else. An interactive floor plan lets buyers click on each room or unit to see its size, price, and availability — turning a passive image into a decision-making tool. Here is how to create one in WordPress without writing any code.
How to create a clickable building map in WordPress
A clickable building map lets buyers explore your development unit by unit directly on your website — without calling your sales team. This guide walks through the full setup using Interactive Real Estate, from uploading your building render to embedding the finished map on a page.
How to display property units on your WordPress website
Displaying property units effectively on WordPress means more than a list of rooms. Buyers want to see which units are available, compare sizes and prices, and make enquiries about specific units — without back-and-forth emails. This guide shows two complementary ways to display units: a visual building map and a filterable flat list.
How to make a floor plan clickable in WordPress
If you have a floor plan image and want visitors to click on individual rooms or units to see details, you have a few options — inline SVG, image map HTML, or a dedicated plugin. This guide explains the tradeoffs and shows you the fastest way to make a floor plan clickable using the Interactive Real Estate plugin.
How to create an interactive map from an image in WordPress
Use a floor plan, building render or site plan you already own to create a clickable image map in WordPress. You draw the regions yourself, attach unit information, then publish a shortcode. This workflow is for image-based maps; it does not generate geographic map tiles or automatically detect buildings in a photo.
How to embed an interactive floor plan on your website
Most sites embed a floor plan as a flat image or a PDF download, which tells visitors nothing about price or availability. An embedded interactive floor plan lets them click each room or unit right on the page. Here's how to embed one on a WordPress website with a single shortcode — no iframe, no external hosting, and no code.
