Managed platforms

Built on foundations we know properly.

RealMosaic and RealOnline are SD’s established CMS platforms. They cover different kinds of work, but both are designed to reduce unnecessary moving parts and keep responsibility clear.

Two platformsDifferent jobs, shared support

Managed by SDBuild, hosting and ongoing work

Integration-readyAPIs and external data where needed

RealMosaic

Modern websites without a plugin pile.

RealMosaic is the general-purpose platform for business websites, publishing and managed multi-site work. It gives editors the control they need while keeping the system deliberately managed.

It suits organisations that want a flexible site and direct support without being responsible for assembling and maintaining the underlying parts themselves.

RealOnline

For listings that have somewhere else to go.

RealOnline handles specialist property and business-listing requirements, including structured inventory, search, feeds and portal distribution across Australia and New Zealand.

It is used where listings arrive from other systems, need specialised display and search, or need to be sent onwards through established data flows.

Platform selection

Choose around the operating model.

Common questions

The short version.

Can the platforms connect to other systems?

Yes. API and feed work is common, but the sensible approach depends on the source system, data quality and who owns each side of the connection.

Are we locked into one fixed design?

No. The platform is the managed foundation; the public interface is designed around the project and can evolve over time.

Do we manage updates ourselves?

Editors can manage day-to-day content. SD manages the platform, hosting and technical changes as part of the ongoing relationship.

What if neither platform fits?

Then a custom application, an integration with an existing system or another foundation may be more appropriate. The requirement comes first.
