VTM Berango, eleven price-capped homes and an application you can understand
vtmberango.nerahomes.com · 11 homes · Spanish and Basque At Arana 12, in Berango, Nera Homes is building eleven municipal price-capped rental homes. A one- or two-bedroom flat with a garage, a storage unit, geothermal heating and underfloor heating, for anyone who has been on the town register for at least three years and earns between 15,000 and 50,000 euros a year.
The hard part of an allocation like this is not the flat: it is the procedure. Income bands, scoring criteria, a deadline, an official gazette and an application that has to be signed. They asked us for the page that turns an administrative file into something you can read in five minutes, in Spanish and Basque, and that collects the applications as well.
We treated the development as a public file, not as an estate agent’s campaign. Gazette navy, one render of the building and not a single other photograph: floor plans, two pages of the Bizkaia Official Gazette and icons. Nobody lands here to daydream about a flat; they land here to check whether they qualify.
We put all the money in one table. Eleven homes across five income bands, with the floor area, the terrace and the expected service charge. It is the hardest piece to lay out and the first thing people look for: everyone finds their row and their column without having to ring anyone.
We built the form from scratch, in a plugin of our own. Five steps with a progress bar — applicant, partner, household, home and signature — fields that only appear when they are needed, and validation before sending. Anyone who prefers paper can download the PDF; the short way is here.
Bilingual inside the field itself. The site runs in Spanish and Basque, but on an official application switching language is not enough: every label carries both languages together — “Primer apellido / Lehenengo deitura” — so that nobody has to choose. Design, website and development, all ours, between March and April 2026.
The decision was not about style, it was about tone. A price-capped housing scheme lives or dies on nobody suspecting there is small print, so the site looks like an official gazette: navy blue, one table and a single red, kept for “Inscríbete”. The render and the floor plans are there to place you, not to persuade you.
Underneath there is a WordPress with our own child theme and a colour system declared by hand in the stylesheet: #1B2A4A for the institutional navy, #F8F9FA for the section background, #333333 for the text. The red that actually paints the “Inscríbete / Erregistratu” button is #D30A0A, and it turns up seventy-three times across the whole document: it is the only place where the site raises its voice. One single type family, Montserrat, with headings at 20/30 in caps and body text at 18/27.
The grid is deliberately narrow — 1,140 px of content, with a single wide band at 1,600 — and the reference radius is 6 px, which is what the eighty-one form fields and cards carry. The steps are marked with full circles; the header button, by contrast, is almost square.
The development work is the application plugin. It runs the five steps with their progress bar, shows the “Partner” block only if a spouse has been declared, and validates before letting anyone sign. The rest of the bilingualism runs through WPML, with hreflang declared in Spanish, Basque and x-default.
