Services › Performance Websites

Your property deserves a website as good as the neighborhood.

Most apartment communities don’t have a real website. They have an ILS listing and maybe a template page that looks like every other property in the portfolio. We build high-performance property websites that rank on Google, get indexed by AI assistants, and give every available unit its own page with photos, pricing, and specials.

What makes a Performance Website different

An ILS listing puts your property on someone else’s platform, next to your competitors, with limited control over presentation and zero SEO equity for you. A template website gives you a presence but does nothing to differentiate your community or rank for the searches that matter.

A Performance Website is something else entirely. It’s a site built specifically for your property—designed to convert prospects, rank in search engines, and be discoverable by the AI assistants that are increasingly how people find apartments.

See it live. Hillcrest Place Apartments in San Diego is built on this platform—individual unit pages, neighborhood content, audience-specific pages, AI indexing, and a 5-star resident experience.

What changes for your leasing operation

Before
After
A prospect finds your ILS listing, sees the same three photos as every other property, and calls to ask basic questions about pricing and availability.
They find your property website, explore the specific unit they’re interested in, see photos and pricing, check the neighborhood map, and schedule a tour—already sold before they arrive.
Someone asks ChatGPT “what are good apartments near [hospital/campus/base]?” Your property doesn’t appear because AI can’t read your ILS listing or template site.
Your property appears with accurate pricing, availability, and the specific landing page for that audience—because the site was built for AI discovery from day one.
You pay per-lead fees to ILS platforms and have no idea which leads are real. Your “web presence” is a page you don’t control on someone else’s domain.
You own the site, the SEO equity, and the analytics. Over time, your organic traffic grows and your dependence on paid listing platforms decreases.

How it connects to your operation

A property website isn’t just marketing. It’s operational infrastructure.

When a prospect can self-serve accurate information—pricing, availability, floor plans, neighborhood details, application instructions—your leasing team spends less time answering the same questions and more time on tours and closings. When unit availability updates flow to the website, your team isn’t fielding calls about apartments that were leased last week. Dynamic number insertion ties every call to the marketing source that drove it, so you know which channels are actually producing.

If you manage multiple properties, we build PMC-level websites that integrate with your property sites—featuring available units across your portfolio, cross-linking between properties and the management company, and creating a consistent brand experience. The architecture is portfolio-ready from the start: a centralized data layer and property-agnostic structure mean adding a new property to your network is configuration, not a rebuild. The cross-linking adds SEO value to both the property and the PMC site.

And if you’re building toward AI-enabled operations, a well-structured property website is foundational. The same structured content that makes your site discoverable by AI search also feeds into internal knowledge systems—your team can reference accurate, current property information because it’s documented in one place.

What’s built into the platform

Every Performance Website runs on a management platform—not a page builder. Your team gets a multi-user admin panel with role-based access, session security, and 11 dedicated management areas. The site itself includes prospect-facing tools and operational features that most property websites don’t have at all.

Multi-user admin panel

Role-based access for managers, admins, and developers—each with the right level of control. Email login, session timeouts, and account lockout protection. Your team manages pricing, availability, photos, specials, content, and property settings across 11 dedicated areas without waiting on a vendor.

Units and availability

Drag-and-drop photo uploads with automatic optimization. Freeform search and group-by filters across your inventory. A structured incentive system with nine types, AND/OR grouping, scheduled start and end dates, and one-click copy between units—no spreadsheets, no tickets.

Lease-term calculator

Prospects compare pricing across lease lengths in real time—no static rate sheets, no phone calls. Every value is pulled from your current data, so the numbers are always accurate and the leasing team isn’t fielding pricing questions.

Fee transparency and cost estimator

An interactive breakdown of deposits, pet fees, utilities, and monthly charges—visible to prospects before they ever contact your office. A fee registry with self-describing metadata auto-syncs to the property page, so your team controls every number from one place.

Move-in and move-out checklists

Secure, resident-facing checklist pages personalized by unit—with file uploads, multi-person entry, and phase-aware task rendering. A built-in template editor gives your team full control over what residents see and when, for move-ins, move-outs, and transfers.

Design and experience details

Time-of-day responsive theming that adapts to sunrise and sunset at your property’s location. Smart typography handling across all admin-editable content. Progressive CTAs that adapt to visitor behavior across sessions. WCAG AA accessibility throughout.

$4,995 setup + $195/mo*

For communities under 100 units

Setup includes: discovery and assessment, site design and development, individual unit page creation, photo optimization, neighborhood content and interactive mapping, audience-specific landing pages, admin panel configuration, SEO configuration, AI indexing (llms.txt, structured data, semantic markup), performance optimization, hosting setup, and launch support.

Monthly includes: hosting, security, performance analysis, SEO monitoring, rich content updates, AI index maintenance, and technical upkeep. Your team manages day-to-day updates (pricing, availability, specials) through a built-in admin panel.

Financing available: $695/mo on a 12-month contract (covers setup and ongoing management), then $195/mo after the contract term.

Larger communities are scoped based on unit count, amenity complexity, and content requirements. More units means more backend setup—but the architecture is portfolio-ready and scales cleanly. Multi-building configurations, CRM integration, and advanced reporting are all supported.

Additional customization beyond the base website—custom integrations, advanced interactive features, or portfolio-level configurations—can be quoted separately.

*Volume pricing is available for property management companies bringing multiple properties. Each site is built individually—not templated—but shared architecture, design systems, and portfolio integration reduce per-property costs as you scale.

How we build it

Every engagement follows the same Assess → Build → Sustain framework we use across all our services.

Assess

We start with a discovery and assessment phase to learn about your community—its character, its competitive advantages, and the audiences most likely to rent from you. We audit your current web presence, review your ILS performance and Google Business profile, assess your competitive landscape, and identify the search queries and audience segments that should drive your content strategy. This gives us the blueprint for a site built around your property, not a template.

Build

We request your assets—photos, floor plans, pricing, property information, and any existing marketing materials—and get to work. From asset handoff to a live website is 21 days. No templates, no page builders, no WordPress themes. Clean HTML, optimized CSS, fast-loading images, self-hosted fonts, structured data on every page. Individual unit pages with photos and pricing. Audience-specific landing pages. Neighborhood content with interactive maps. AI indexing configured from day one. We handle everything—you review and approve.

Sustain

After launch, your team manages the day-to-day through the admin panel—updating availability, adjusting pricing, scheduling specials, managing checklists, and editing property content without waiting on anyone. Progressive CTAs adapt to visitor behavior across sessions, and the site’s AI index updates dynamically as your availability changes. We handle the rest: ongoing performance analysis, SEO monitoring, rich content updates (neighborhood pages, audience-specific landing pages, seasonal refreshes), and the technical upkeep that keeps the site fast, secure, and visible. This ongoing management is what separates a leasing tool from a digital brochure.

Common questions

How long does it take to get a live website?

21 days from asset handoff (photos, floor plans, pricing, property information). Before that, a discovery and assessment phase takes a few days. Most properties go from first conversation to live site in under a month.

What do I need to provide?

Photos of the property and units, floor plans or unit layouts, current pricing and availability, property features and amenities, and any existing marketing materials. We handle design, development, content writing, neighborhood research, SEO configuration, and AI indexing.

Is financing available?

Yes. Instead of the $4,995 setup fee, you can finance at $695/mo on a 12-month contract covering the full build plus ongoing hosting and management. After the contract term, the monthly fee drops to $195/mo.

What does AI-indexed mean?

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are increasingly how people search for apartments. We structure your site so these systems can read, understand, and recommend your property with accurate pricing, availability, and neighborhood context. Most property websites are invisible to AI search.

Do I need to cancel my ILS listings?

No. Your ILS listings continue as-is. The property website gives you a channel you own—one that builds SEO equity over time, converts at higher rates, and doesn’t charge you per lead.

Can you build a website for our management company too?

Yes. We build PMC-level websites that integrate with your property sites—featuring available units across your portfolio, cross-linking for SEO, and a consistent brand experience.

Let’s talk about your property’s web presence.

The discovery call is 20–30 minutes. We’ll ask about your property, your current web presence, and what you’re trying to accomplish. If a Performance Website makes sense, we’ll scope it. If it doesn’t—or if there’s a simpler solution—we’ll tell you that too.
