UI/UX Design for property management businesses

UI/UX design works out how people move through your website or product to complete a task, then designs screens that make each step obvious. For property management businesses, that means getting rental listings, landlord services and tenant forms right, because landlords choosing a manager and tenants want to request a rental appraisal or apply for a property without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Landlords choosing a manager and tenants want to request a rental appraisal or apply for a property.

A property management business website usually has to handle current rental listings, rental appraisal requests and owner and tenant portals.

Current rental listings: tenants search listings first and apply from them.

Rental appraisal requests: appraisals are how new landlords start.

Owner and tenant portals: statements and maintenance requests are easier in one place.

What to have ready

Analytics or support data showing where people struggle.

Access to a few real users or customers for short sessions.

Brand guidelines, if you have them.
