Questions
FAQ
Clear answers about property management website design, cost, timeline, AI search, and everything Gateway includes.
Getting started
What does Gateway Website Design do?
Gateway builds high-performing websites for property management companies. Every site is engineered to do two jobs at once: fill vacant units with qualified renter leads, and win new management contracts from property owners.
Who does Gateway work with?
Property management companies only, including single-family, multifamily, HOA, and commercial. Because we specialize in one industry, we already understand your dual audience of renters and owners, your software, and your compliance requirements.
How do I get started with Gateway?
Request a free audit of your current website or book a call. We begin with a discovery step, then move through design, build, and launch, usually within 3 to 7 days.
Pricing and timeline
How much does a property management website cost?
Most property managers invest between 5,000 and 15,000 dollars for a professional website in 2026. Gateway offers three fixed-scope packages, Launch, Perform, and Dominate, so you know exactly what you get with no surprises.
How long does it take to build a property management website?
Most sites go live in 3 to 7 days. Launch ships in 3 days, Perform in 5, and Dominate in 7. The speed comes from specializing in one industry, not from cutting corners.
Is there a monthly fee?
Every plan includes hosting, security, backups, uptime monitoring, the search foundation, and monthly edits. Ongoing care is built in rather than billed as a surprise add-on.
Do I own my website?
Yes. You fully own your site, and we can build on a platform you manage yourself, so you are never locked in to us or to a single tool.
Services and design
What makes a good property management website?
A great property management website clearly states who you serve, loads in under three seconds, has fast image-light listings, gives owners their own dedicated path, uses real photography, shows trust signals up front, captures leads on mobile, and is structured for both search and AI.
Can you redesign my existing property management website?
Yes. We redesign existing property management sites and migrate your content, improving speed, search visibility, accessibility, and lead capture in the process.
Do you offer SEO for property managers?
Yes. Every site includes local SEO, structured data, and on-page optimization so you rank for renters and owners searching in your specific city and neighborhoods.
How do I get more owner leads from my website?
We build a dedicated owner funnel: a separate path with a free rental analysis offer, transparent fee and reporting messaging, and proof you can fill units fast. That is how a website wins management contracts, not just tenants.
Technical and AI search
What is AI search optimization (AEO)?
AI search optimization, sometimes called AEO or GEO, structures your website so AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity cite your properties when renters ask them for recommendations. It is the fastest-growing search channel, and most property managers are currently invisible in it.
Will my site show up in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity?
Yes. Every site includes the structured data and clean, quotable content those engines pull from, so your properties become the answer the AI gives instead of being skipped.
Does Gateway integrate with AppFolio, Buildium, or Yardi?
Yes. We integrate with AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, DoorLoop, and Rent Manager, so your listings and applications sync automatically and nobody updates two places by hand.
Is the website mobile-friendly, fast, and accessible?
Every site is mobile-first, tuned to pass Google Core Web Vitals and load in under three seconds, and built with ADA-aware design and fair-housing-safe language to widen your reach and lower legal risk.
What platforms do you build on?
WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Framer, Shopify, and custom HTML/CSS or React and Next.js. We recommend the best fit for your goals during discovery, and we can build on a platform you already use.
