Website Development for Property Developers

A developer's website is often first opened on a phone right outside the site, so the opening screen shows which flats are still free, their floor plans and how to book a visit.

Buyers forward the page to whoever shares the decision, often a parent helping with the deposit, so every flat needs an address of its own.

Online challenges for property developers

Most problems come from one site structure trying to handle early research, active comparison and enquiries as if they were the same decision.

Off-plan sales and finished homes need separate paths

Buyers search differently depending on the stage of the project and how sure they are of their financing.

  • Mixed pages make it harder to tell investors from people buying a home to live in, and serve neither well.
  • A path for each stage brings enquiries that fit better and sales that move faster.

A launch site nobody in the sales office can update

Many project sites are made once for the launch, and every later change waits for the agency that built them.

  • A new price list goes online days after it reached the office, and buyers ring to check which one is right.
  • Photos of the build stop at the foundations, although the roof is already on.

Web Design and Development approach for property developers

For property developers, we design the site around the stages of the decision, return visits and clear next steps, so the stages do not merge into one vague structure.

What a buyer sees first on a phone

A first visit to the website is very often made on a phone, often from someone standing at the hoarding with the name of the development in front of them.

  • The first screen says where the building stands, what stage it has reached, when handover is planned and how many flats are still free.
  • Right below comes the flat finder: a choice of rooms, floor and price that ends in a list of flats, each with its plan, its area and its status.

A build diary and the documents in one place

Buyers come back to a developer's website many times before signing, and each time they look for what has changed.

  • The build diary shows dated photos taken from the same spots, so progress can be compared from one visit to the next.
  • A documents page holds the permit, the specification of the finish and the draft contract, each with a short summary in plain words above the file.

Heavy pictures made light, and a launch before the board

Renderings and plans are the heaviest files a website can carry, and they are the reason a developer's pages open slowly.

  • We need the renderings in full quality, the plans as drawings and not scans, and photos of finished schemes, then prepare lighter versions that open quickly on mobile data.
  • The website goes live before the site board is printed, because the address on that board has to lead somewhere from the day it goes up.

Web Design and Development process for property developers

01

Brief and material

We agree what the site has to do and collect what we need from you: photos, facts and the questions customers ask.

02

Structure and design

We plan the pages in the order a visitor decides and design the phone screen first. For a developer, we agree who in the sales office may change a flat's status, so the site never offers a home that was reserved that morning.

03

Build and launch

We build a fast site, redirect old addresses so nothing is lost and test every form and call button before launch.

04

After launch

We watch which pages lead to enquiries and fix whatever slows visitors down.

Price: a website for property developers with 1–3 pages starts at €650, and a company website with 5–7 pages at €1,300, plus VAT.

How we measure results for property developers

We count viewing requests, reservation enquiries and document downloads, and check that the heavy visualisations still open quickly on a phone.

Questions about Web Design and Development for property developers

Plain answers about Web Design and Development, written for property developers.

A standard website is built in 4–8 weeks, and one with a flat finder linked to your sales system belongs at the longer end.

  • Begin when the renderings and the plans are approved, not when the hoarding is already up.
  • A single page with the name, the location and a sign-up for the launch list can go live earlier.

Yes, if the system can export them, and many can.

  • The website then reads the status of every flat from that one source, so a reservation made in the sales office shows online without anyone typing it again.
  • Where there is no such system, a shared spreadsheet kept by the sales office does the same job.

The site manager or someone from the sales office, with a phone.

  • We set up a short form: a date, a sentence and a few photos taken from agreed spots, and the entry appears on the project page.
  • It takes minutes, and it is the part of the website that returning buyers come for.

By what reaches the sales office.

  • We count booked visits, calls and requests for a price, and note which flats they concerned and whether the person came through the flat finder.
  • Those counts are set against what the sales staff hear in conversations, since a buyer often says what the website left unanswered.
