A premium platform for
Kenyan real estate agencies.
Msanii Real Estate Agencies (also referenced as MSANII ACG) is a full-featured real estate platform designed for Kenyan agencies to list, manage, and sell properties. The platform features a public-facing property listing site, a private admin panel, and an inbox system for managing client enquiries.
The design system was built around a premium orange brand palette, establishing a cinematic, high-end visual identity that stands apart from the generic property portals common in the Kenyan market. Sora and DM Sans typography, card-based layouts, and a hero-banner-first approach give the platform a hospitality-level polish.

Challenges & Learnings
The inbox system presented an interesting form-submission bug: aggressive button disabling on submit was causing the form value to be lost in certain browsers before the POST was completed. The solution was a deferred disable pattern — the button is disabled only after the form value is captured, using a short timeout to ensure the browser had processed the event.
"The constraint of building for a Kenyan audience — with varied device types and connection speeds — pushed me to optimise aggressively. Every image got lazy-loading treatment, and the admin panel was designed to be usable even on a 3G connection."
Establishing a cohesive design system from scratch — custom CSS variables, consistent spacing scales, and reusable component patterns — was one of the key outcomes of this project. That discipline now carries forward into every project I take on.
