Templates Explained: Single Floor Plan

Last Updated:
Table of Contents

Overview

RentPress includes many templates to display data on your website and get started quickly. Each template features customizability and can be extended by adding content. Each template is designed to sit in between your site theme’s header and footer and works best in a 100% width layout.

This article will explore the single floor plan page template.

When added to your theme, this template will automatically display on all floor plan post pages on your site. Each of these will exist at https://yoursite.com/floorplans/your-floor-plan/ and much of this page can also be seen from the single property listing page and floor plan search when modals are enabled.

Starting at the top, under the site header and navigation bar:

Special Banner

The banner displays at the top of the page when the floor plan has special text and there is not an expiration date before today’s date. It will display in the property’s chosen accent color and will navigate visitors to a page link when set. The special will also display on this floor plan’s card in the floor plan search shortcode and template.

Floor Plan Information Section

RentPress will make every effort to pull in one or more images for a floor plan from a connected data feed. Visitors can swipe or tap through each photo either inline, or click to see each photo in a full screen lightbox.

We recommend setting a floor plan featured image, and when set, will display first. Any other images added to the floor plan gallery will display after in the order they were added.

Note that not all feed sources support floor plan images.

Information

The floor plan title will be displayed if the Floor Plan Title Type option is set to “Marketing Name” or alternately will display the name as Beds | Baths if selected.

The floor plan’s Starting at price or range will will display depending on the parent property’s Price Display setting.

If the Floor Plan Title option is set to Marketing name, the beds and baths will display followed by the floor plan’s square footage or square foot range. Then, the amount of a deposit will display. The deposit can display as a single value or a range depending on what is entered in the Floor Plan Pricing Editor. Note that unlike other prices, “$0” is a valid deposit value (and a marketing differentiation factor!) – if would like to not display $0 values, you should choose the “Exclude $0 Deposits” option in the property’s Price Display setting. You can also opt to hide all deposits for floor plans at this property.

If the floor plan has a URL entered in the floor plan’s Virtual Tour field, a “▶️ Virtual Tour” button will display. Visitors who click the button will be pushed down the page to the virtual tour section.

A scrollable carousel will display all units associated to this floor plan that are determined to be available or ready for marketing. In general, having a date is enough for a unit to display. You can adjust the range of units imported to the website in the RentPress settings with the Lookahead and Limit Units settings. Make sure that your use of these settings complies with housing regulations and does not constitute artificial scarcity.

When visitors click on a unit, several things can happen:

  • The CTA and buttons will update their URL targets and parameters (more in the next section).
  • The unit’s features will display. This is great to let visitors see what makes a unit unique. For example: first floor, stainless appliances, garage, etc. These will appear when unit-level amenities are added to the connected data feed.
  • The unit’s available lease terms will display, with the best value highlighted. Visitors will be able to browse other available lease terms for the selected unit. Make sure to select Term Rent in parent property’s Price Display setting.

When no units are available, visitors will see a message instead.

CTA and Buttons

Below the carousel, visitors will find a number of options to continue their journey. RentPress will intelligently display and update these buttons in realtime in response to site settings, unit inventory, and unit selection.

  • Schedule Tour will display as the primary CTA if a URL is added to the Tour Page URL field in the Default URLs settings.
  • Request Info will display using the Contact Page URL field in the Default URLs settings. This can also be configured on a per-property basis in the Contact Form section of the Property Editor.
  • Apply Now will display when an application link for the floor plan is found.
    • When a unit is selected, this will instead link to the unit’s application link, if provided.
    • The link can be added manually in the Default URLs settings.
  • Join Waitlist will display as the primary CTA (and the Apply Now button will not display) when the following conditions are met:

Each button (excluding Apply Now) will append parameters to the URL to help you keep track of how visitors are interacting with the website. When known, URLs can have the following:

  • property_code=
  • property_name=
  • floorplan_code=
  • floorplan_bed=
  • unit_code=

As an example: https://yoursite.com/contact/?property_code=p0303030&property_name=Blue%20Line%20Lofts%20Apartments&floorplan_code=2184799&floorplan_bed=1&unit_code=13579013
