Knapp Properties Builds Online Success With A Flexible Content Management System

Knapp originally approached Blue Compass in hopes of creating a website with a content management system that offered flexibility and access to make updates at any time, without hidden costs or upgrade fees. The Slate CMS proved to be the solution they were looking for: an all-encompassing solution that offers flexible design modules, called StaX, and the ability for clients to make unlimited updates to their website as they see fit. Slate allows the Knapp team to make quick updates to their property listings through the streamlined interface for ease of use.

Customizing The Knapp Properties Experience With StaX Design Modules

The capabilities of StaX within the Slate CMS helped transform the Knapp website into a fully customizable solution to meet their needs. Our team implemented multiple animations on individual design blocks to increase the visual interactivity of key interior pages. For clients who prefer a more collaborative approach to website development, StaX provides the opportunity to actively engage in the design process, enabling Knapp to craft a truly unique experience for their target audience.

Custom Web Design & Development

The Knapp team needed a website that could keep pace with the rapid changes in the property management industry, where timely property updates are crucial. They were struggling with their previous site’s limitations, particularly when it came to quickly changing property statuses or adding new listings. Slate provided a solution with its user-friendly, customizable design that gave the team full control over their content. Now, Knapp can effortlessly update property details and make real-time changes, reducing downtime and improving efficiency across their operations.

Content Management System Training

It can be overwhelming transitioning to a new content management system, especially one as customizable as Slate. That’s why Blue Compass conducted an in-depth CMS training to teach their internal team how to use Slate effectively. Our team taught Knapp how to navigate within Slate, create pages, add StaX design blocks, add images and much more. The CMS training also included best practices for content optimization, empowering Knapp’s team to confidently manage and update the website on their own. By the end of the session, the team was equipped with the skills and knowledge to maximize the potential of Slate, ensuring long-term success and ease of use.

Custom Applications

A key aspect of the Knapp website design featured several custom applications to improve the functionality of their website. In addition to a team directory app, Blue Compass developed a robust apartments app to help users find and filter properties by number of bedrooms, bathrooms, rent amount, amenities offered and more. This custom-built application not only elevated the website’s functionality but also contributed to higher engagement rates by providing a seamless, intuitive interface for potential renters.

Content Architecture

The Blue Compass team worked to develop a content architecture that met the needs of each business unit, ensuring equal real estate for everyone involved. Our team worked to evaluate data in Google Analytics to determine the top pages that users visited in order to craft a useful navigation that directs users to the pages they’re most interested in. Through a streamlined mega-menu navigation design that includes property images to draw attention, our team was able to blend the highly-visual nature of Knapp’s website while still showcasing many of the important interior pages.
