In property development, you are often selling a vision before the first brick is laid. Whether you are marketing a luxury high-rise in Canary Wharf or a boutique regeneration project in Peckham, your website is your primary showroom.
For developers, the stakes are incredibly high. A single sale can be worth millions. Consequently, a website that feels cheap, loads slowly, or fails to convey the premium nature of the build can directly impact your Gross Development Value (GDV). At Custom Coded Websites, we build bespoke digital platforms that mirror the architectural excellence of your projects.
The "Off-Plan" Challenge: Selling the Dream
When selling off-plan, your strongest assets are your CGI renders and architectural fly-throughs. You need to immerse the potential buyer or investor in the lifestyle you are creating.
The technical challenge is that high-quality 4K renders and video backgrounds are data-heavy. On a standard template website (like WordPress), loading these assets can result in lagging pages and buffering videos. This destroys the illusion of luxury.
We solve this with custom Python engineering. We build advanced media pipelines that optimize your assets for the web without sacrificing quality. We use "lazy loading" and adaptive streaming to ensure your stunning visuals play instantly, creating a seamless, cinematic user experience that captivates buyers immediately.
Interactive Masterplans and Availability
A static list of "Apartments for Sale" is uninspiring. Modern buyers want context. They want to know where Unit 402 sits in relation to the sunset or the communal gardens.
We build Interactive SVG Masterplans. These allow users to:
- Hover over a building: See pop-up details on completion dates and amenities.
- Click a floor: View specific floorplans and availability in real-time.
- Filter by status: Instantly hide "Sold" units to focus attention on available inventory.
Because we code this from scratch, we can integrate it with your CRM (like Salesforce or HubSpot). When your sales team marks a unit as "Reserved," the website updates instantly, preventing double-bookings and creating a sense of urgency (FOMO) for other buyers.
Investor Portals and Data Rooms
Property development isn't just about selling to residents; it's about securing funding. Institutional investors and stakeholders expect professionalism and security.
We build secure Investor Data Rooms directly into your corporate site. Protected by enterprise-grade encryption, these portals allow authorized partners to download sensitive documents—financial appraisals, planning permissions, and architectural drawings—in a secure environment. This streamlines your fundraising process and demonstrates a high level of corporate governance.
SEO for New Builds
New developments often have zero search history. You need a strategy to put your new brand on the map.
We implement a Project-Based SEO strategy. We ensure your development ranks for its specific name (e.g., "The Quartz Building Shoreditch") but also for broader lifestyle searches like "New build apartments near Crossrail" or "Luxury penthouses South London." By structuring your site correctly from day one, we help you capture interest from the moment the hoarding goes up.
Lead Capture and Registration
The primary goal of a developer website is to build a database. You need a pipeline of interested parties for your launch event.
We design high-converting Registration Funnels. Instead of a generic contact form, we build segmented forms that qualify the lead: "Are you a First Time Buyer or Investor?", "What is your budget range?", "Number of bedrooms required?". This data flows directly into your marketing software, allowing you to nurture leads with personalized email campaigns based on their specific interests.
Scalability for Multiple Projects
As a developer, your portfolio grows. You might have three live sites and two in planning. Our modular Django architecture allows your website to scale with you.
We can build a "Parent" corporate site that showcases your track record, while easily spinning up distinct "Microsites" for each new development. These microsites can have their own unique branding and colour palettes while being managed from the same central Content Management System (CMS), saving you time and development costs.
Build a Digital Legacy
Your buildings are designed to last for generations. Your digital presence should be built with the same level of care.
