Easy-to-use site management by market, community, model, elevation, and floor plan.
Integrated data from builder back-end accounting or project management systems, such as Timberline, BuilderMT, and many others.

“Working with Customer Velocity, we were able to create a platform that will make it easier for us to optimize our site for search and blends in sophisticated web services that will help us optimize our leads and conversions. We saw an immediate lift of more than one minute for the average visit, and we feel that the improved look, feel, and navigation helped us see a 20% reduction in the number of visits that last less than sixty seconds,” said David Weekley. “In addition, we’ve seen an improvement in the percentage of visits drilling deeper into our site, know that more visitors are making it to the floor plan pages to learn about our product, and more are making it to our corporate content to learn about what makes David Weekley Homes unique.”
“Over eighty percent of new home buyers use the web at some point during their new home search. In recognition of that, David Weekley Homes has optimized its site to attract and hold the interest of new home buyers,” said Ron Neumann, Customer Velocity’s CEO. “We are proud to count this exemplary home builder as one of our customers.”
