I audited 25 Atlanta apartment websites. Zero were original. Then I made the mistake of running my own through the same test. Lower scores than I expected. Not exactly a proud moment for the guy doing the auditing. 23 of the 25 properties run the same six templates. So I pulled the worst offenders into Google's mobile speed test. Cortland Phipps Plaza, a luxury Atlanta operator: 28 out of 100. 6.3 MB. 7.5 seconds to show the hero photo. Every Atlanta site I tested failed Google's 2.5-second threshold. Every one. The best site I found wasn't even in Atlanta. UNCOMMON is student housing in Auburn, Alabama. I stumbled on it while scrolling through property after property that looked identical, and it was the one that actually looked different. It scored 65 on a third of Cortland's page weight. The websites are not the only problem. It is a symptom. The customer experience starts the moment someone sees your ad. It carries through the website, the phone call, the tour, the lease signing, move-in day, and the first maintenance request. Every touchpoint either builds the case or bleeds it. Most of the industry just copies whoever is nearby and calls it good enough. Website design is no different. You pick a template, add your logo, upload the same standard photos, and wonder why the phone rings so little. The site that wins loads fast on a phone, answers the question before they have to ask, and is still in their head the next morning.
