A brand that had to land in seconds

Switchback Apartments is an apartment community in Lacey, WA. The homepage opens with the identity, the promise, and a clear next step, because most visitors decide whether to keep reading before they scroll. Everything below it is built to carry that first impression through the rest of the site.

Hero section for Switchback Apartments: bold 'Switchback. Trail Home.' text over a residential community with two call-to-action buttons 'See Floor Plans' and 'Schedule Tour'.

Designed and developed end to end

Kihan Marketing developed the website for Switchback Apartments, a newly built rental community in Lacey, Washington. The layout gives each section room to breathe, loads quickly on phones, and keeps the primary action visible as visitors move down the page.

Plans and pricing that are easy to compare

Renters compare layout and price first, so the Switchback Apartments floor plans are presented as scannable cards with the details that actually drive a decision. From here a prospect can move straight into availability and the online application without hunting for a link.

Content that answers the real questions

The supporting pages exist to remove doubt. They answer what people actually ask before they commit, in plain language, so the visitor never has to leave the site to find out whether Switchback Apartments is the right fit.

Why this matters for a community like this

Renters shortlist communities online long before they call or tour. When a site loads fast, shows real floor plans and pricing, and makes applying effortless, it turns a search into a scheduled tour and gives the community a presence Google can rank.

The work behind the website

Switchback Apartments launched with a custom web design built around its brand; a responsive, mobile-first build tested across devices; and fast-loading pages tuned for performance.

The build also covered clear calls to action on every key page and a search-ready structure of headings, titles, and clean URLs.

Live availability, indexed on the community's own domain

Most apartment websites hand renters off to an AppFolio portal, so the listings live on someone else’s domain and the community never gets the search credit for them. Our AppFolio Listing plugin keeps live availability for Switchback Apartments on its own site instead, and gives every unit its own crawlable page.

Availability refreshes automatically, so the website and the property management system never drift apart and nobody has to edit a page when a unit turns. Applications and the resident portal still hand off cleanly to AppFolio, so residents keep the workflow they already know.

Search and AI visibility built into the site itself

Instead of bolting on a heavy third-party plugin, Switchback Apartments runs our purpose-built Kihan SEO Plugin. It is the single source of truth for page titles, meta descriptions, and structured data, which means the site speaks clearly to search engines without the bloat of a general-purpose tool.

Under the hood it publishes proper ApartmentComplex and per-floor-plan schema with real specs and pricing, alongside FAQ, breadcrumb, and organization data in one clean graph. It also opens the door to AI crawlers and generates an llms.txt, so assistants answering questions about places to live in Lacey can read the community’s facts directly.
