The Luxe Guide, a project by our Philippines-based client, envisioned creating the country’s #1 luxury marketplace and directory. They aimed to provide a platform where users could buy, sell, or rent high-end assets, including luxury retreats, experiences, yachts, cars, and real estate. Additionally, The Luxe Guide wished to empower sellers by giving them the ability to create and manage business pages and listings, post news, and even manage events.
Our team designed and developed a robust website powered by Laravel, integrating S3 for media uploads and a detailed database architecture. The site enables users to apply extensive filters to find their desired luxury items and offers sellers an intuitive interface for creating listings and managing their businesses independently. On top of that, Admins were equipped with full control over listing approvals and content moderation.
This feature-packed website addressed The Luxe Guide’s needs to empower sellers, buyers, and the admin staff, setting the foundation for establishing the platform as the premier luxury marketplace in the Philippines.

The client required detailed subpages for Retreats, Yachts, Cars, and Properties to enhance user navigation and site performance. Admins also needed super controls for content moderation.
The design phase took longer than expected, compressing the development timeline into just three months.
The platform required detailed modules for sellers, users, and admins, alongside extensive QA testing for all features and functionalities.
We developed structured subpages for all four categories, enabling smooth navigation. A robust admin panel was integrated to oversee and manage content smoothly across the platform.
Divided the development work among multiple teams to parallelize tasks efficiently while implementing a rigorous QA process across different cycles, with modules rotated among teams for thorough testing.
Adopted the Scrum methodology to ensure transparent communication and iterative progress through daily scrums and sprint tracking on Jira.
The Luxe Guide has four luxury listings; Real Estate, Cars and Motors, Yachting and Watercrafts, and Travel & Experiences. We created beautifully designed pages with a unified structure for each category, emphasizing shared functionality and distinct category-specific features.
Each category integrates four core subpages to enhance user experience. These are: News, Professionals, For Sale, and Events & Agenda.
The Luxury Cars and Motors and the Yachting and Watercraft categories include two additional sub pages; For Rent and Experiences. Just like For Sale, the For Rent page allows users to search rental options in the cars and motors or the yachts and watercraft categories. Comprehensive filters allow users to find their desired automotive easily. For example the car and motor rental categories (e.g., bridal cars, SUVs) have tailored filters for special occasions, overnight stays, and passenger capacity.
The experiences subpage in the Luxury Cars and Motors and the Yachting and Watercraft categories allows users to search for experiences in these categories, such as cruses, jet skiing, racing, etc.
The Travel & Experiences page introduces a unique Luxury Retreats subpage, showcasing exclusive getaways such as private islands, and penthouses, and curated experiences like helicopter rides. This unified approach balances consistent design with expert functionality, specific to the needs of each luxury category.
This functionality enables sellers and service providers to register and create detailed listings for luxury items, such as high-end properties, vehicles, yachts, or travel experiences. Listings include advanced filters for country, city, and price, with options for extensive customization to highlight features like categories (e.g., motor yachts, bridal cars, resort villas) and specialized attributes (e.g., overnight stay capacity or passenger limits for rentals). These tools provide sellers with the flexibility to target niche luxury buyers effectively.
Sellers can establish professional business pages to enhance their brand presence. These pages allow them to post news, deals, and updates, while showcasing their expertise through category-specific offerings, such as yacht building, car restoration, or travel experiences. By integrating premium CTAs and curated features, the business pages serve as a hub for engaging luxury buyers and promoting exclusive products or services.
The Events & Agenda static page lets users discover and explore luxury-focused events across industries. Sellers can create and manage event listings, while users refine searches by category and country. Highlighted events include expos, forums, retreats, and shows, providing streamlined access to exclusive opportunities in real estate, yachting, travel, and luxury motors.
This functionality lets Admins ensure quality and authenticity by verifying all posted listings before approval and maintaining the platform’s luxury standards. Admins also have the authority to edit or update listing information to correct errors or align with platform guidelines, ensuring a premium user experience across all categories, including Real Estate, Luxury Cars & Motors, Yachting, and Travel.
Admins oversee platform integrity by moderating seller activities and content, ensuring compliance with category-specific features. This includes monitoring business pages for accurate news, updates, and deals, as well as enforcing standards for event listings and professional connections across all categories.
The Luxe Guide’s website now offers a sophisticated, feature-rich platform for the Philippines’ luxury market. Combining elegant design with powerful functionality, it supports detailed seller listings, professional business pages, and curated experiences tailored to diverse luxury categories. Unified subpages like News, Professionals, For Sale, and Events & Agenda streamline navigation, while category-specific features such as luxury rentals, curated retreats, and niche filters enhance user engagement. Robust admin tools enable listing verification, content moderation, and platform oversight, ensuring quality and trust. Built on a scalable architecture, the site is ready for future growth. As new features are added, The Luxe Guide is positioned to become the leading luxury marketplace and directory in the Philippines.
