Doorstep Theme Features
The Doorstep theme is a real-estate portal and an editorial magazine in one. Properties, agents and neighbourhoods are real records with registered fields, so the map search, the key-facts strips, the neighbourhood market stats and the market report are computed from the same listings — never typed twice — and every enquiry lands in a private inbox.

$0Map API fees
A map that searches, without an API key.The split-screen map search runs on MapLibre GL and free OpenFreeMap vector tiles: price pins, clustering, draw-to-search and “search as I move the map”, with light and dark styles that follow the site. No Google key, no usage bill — and a MapTiler or Stadia style URL drops in if you ever want one.
01 · Map search
Search the way portals do
A split-screen map with price pins and clustering. Draw a shape to search inside it, or pan and let search-as-you-move refresh the results. Every filter lives in a shareable URL that also powers the hero search form and every archive.
Price pins, clusters and a results list in sync

02 · Listings
Every home gets the full treatment
A mosaic gallery with a full-screen lightbox, a key-facts strip, a features grid, floor plans, video and 3D tour, a neighbourhood map and a mortgage calculator — with a sticky agent card and a schedule-a-tour picker that files straight into the enquiries inbox.
Price, rent period, beds, baths, area, lot, year, HOA, tax, status and labels as post meta

03 · Agents & enquiries
Local experts, with their own inbox
Agent profiles carry photo, bio, phone and listings. Contact, tour and valuation requests are stored under Real Estate → Enquiries and e-mailed to the listing’s agent with a copy to the office, protected by honeypot, nonce and rate limit, and deleted after the retention period you choose.

04 · Neighbourhoods & market
Market stats, computed live
Neighbourhood guides show the median price, price per square foot, homes for sale and days on market, computed from the listings. A market report page rolls the city up with per-area bars, and the valuation page turns “what’s my home worth?” into a lead.

05 · The Site Editor
Click any card, restyle any pixel
The whole front page opens as ordinary blocks. Select a listing card, the hero search or the agent strip in List View and restyle it per breakpoint from the sidebar — Stepfox Looks turns every choice into a block attribute, so there is no child theme and no stylesheet to maintain.
List View reaches every block inside every card
Desktop, tablet and mobile values on each block
Every colour, gap and breakpoint is an attribute, not CSS
06 · The back office
One dashboard runs the agency
The plugin adds a single Real Estate menu: properties, agents, enquiries, the deal, type, neighbourhood and feature taxonomies, and settings for currency, area unit, map position, map styles, mortgage defaults and the enquiry address. Import the Miami demo with one click and remove exactly what was imported.

Prefer Elementor? It’s in the box.
A dedicated Elementor edition ships alongside the block theme: 28 native widgets with full Content and Style tabs, 4 dynamic tags (field, image, link and gallery) and Theme Builder templates when Elementor Pro is active — driven by the same listings plugin and the same records. Without Pro every route keeps a polished PHP fallback.
