Liveo — one site per building, one codebase

Liveo rents new, all-inclusive condos across Greater Montréal. Its portal, liveo.ca, lists six buildings: Mascouche, Châteauguay, Kirkland, Bois-Franc, Pointe-Claire, and Repentigny. Each one opens on its own date, with its own floor plans, prices, and available units.

I designed and coded the portal, the Mascouche and Châteauguay sites, and the Kirkland pre-launch page. The other buildings follow. Here are the decisions that mattered, and why they were made.

The problem

A new rental building has an opening date and units to fill before it. Three constraints made an ordinary brochure site the wrong tool.

• Prices and availability change often. If every edit goes through a developer, the site is behind reality by the second month.
• Renters search by city. Nobody types the name of a brand they have not heard of yet. They look for a condo for rent in Mascouche, or in Châteauguay.
• Six buildings, one team. Building a site from scratch six times costs six times the price and produces six sites that do not look related.

The decisions

One site per building, on its own domain

Each building has its own address: liveomascouche.com, liveochateauguay.com, liveokirkland.com. A site about one building in one city answers exactly what the person searched for, without sending them through a menu of six projects.

One base, reused from site to site

The first site, Mascouche, defined everything: the structure (lifestyle, units, common spaces, contact), the components, the path to a visit. The sites that follow reuse that base and change what belongs to the building: photos, plans, figures, copy. A fix made once reaches every site.

Listings are edited without a developer

Units, their floor plans, and their availability are managed in a content management system. The leasing team updates a listing themselves, on the day the information changes.

Two real versions, French and English

Every page exists in French and in English, written in each language. On the West Island as on the South Shore, part of the rental market searches in English; a one-language site shuts those renters out.

A pre-launch page before the full site

Kirkland is planned for occupancy in 2027. Instead of waiting for the full site, the building first gets a short page: what is coming, where, and how to book a visit. Inquiries can come in before the building is ready.

A portal that sorts by region

liveo.ca shows every building and filters them by area: Montréal, North Shore, South Shore, West Island. Someone who knows the brand but not yet the building finds theirs in one click.

Every page leads to a visit

A rental site is not there to be read; it is there to fill a calendar of visits. The "Book a visit" button is on every page, and the contact form is never more than one action away.

What the sites measure

The sites track rental inquiries and call clicks, with analytics the client owns instead of an ad platform. I do not publish those numbers here: they are theirs.

Where the project stands

As of October 2026, the portal, Mascouche, and Châteauguay are live, and Kirkland is in pre-launch. The code, content, domains, and data belong to Liveo.

If you have more than one location

Clinics, residences, restaurants, franchises: as soon as a business has more than one address, the same question comes up. One site per address, built on a shared base, costs less with each new location, and answers what someone in that city is searching for better than a single site trying to speak for everywhere. Pricing is public, and a review of your current site is free.
