The Clunky Journey of the PDF
Imagine a prospective buyer sitting on a train, scrolling through property listings on a mobile phone. They find a development they like and click to download the sales brochure.
Instead of an instant experience, their browser freezes. A 50MB desktop formatted PDF begins downloading, consuming mobile data, before rendering text so tiny the user has to pinch and zoom across every page just to read the floor plans.
Even worse is the digital redundancy. The buyer clicks through the developer site, finds a development, picks a house type, downloads a PDF, and then reads the exact same information all over again. Flipbooks felt old fashioned, full websites felt over the top, and traditional PDFs created friction at every step.
In most cases, that prospective buyer closes the tab and moves on.
