Showcasing Community Living: A Modern Website for Frances Estates
Success Story
With a strong online presence that matches the quality of the development itself, Frances Estates now has a digital foundation that supports its growth, enhances credibility, and helps potential homeowners imagine life within its welcoming neighborhood.
Their Story:
Frances Estates was created with a thoughtful vision — to design a community that harmonizes privacy, connection, and convenience. Located in Locust, North Carolina, the development features spacious half-acre lots for family homes and a dedicated age-restricted enclave known as The Village at Frances Estates. This unique concept allows families of all generations to live close together while maintaining their independence and individual lifestyles. Frances Estates stands out as a community built not just with homes, but with intention and heart.
The Challenge:
Although Frances Estates had a strong concept and beautiful location, its online presence did not fully capture the development’s character or appeal. The existing site lacked visual impact and clear storytelling, making it difficult for visitors to understand what made the community special. The client needed a website that could showcase the lifestyle and vision behind Frances Estates while also serving as an informative and user-friendly hub for prospective homeowners.
The Solution:
Next Wave partnered with Frances Estates to design a modern, elegant website that would bring the community’s vision to life online. Our team created a design that reflects the natural beauty, balance, and warmth of Frances Estates. We organized the content to clearly communicate the two key aspects of the development — the family-oriented lots and the age-restricted enclave, The Village — while maintaining a cohesive, inviting brand identity throughout the site.
We emphasized clean visuals, intuitive navigation, and responsive design to ensure the website provides a smooth browsing experience across all devices. The content and layout were structured to guide users seamlessly from learning about the community’s philosophy to exploring available homes and contacting the team for more information.
The Success:
The new Frances Estates website now serves as a digital extension of the community itself — calm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. What was once a simple online presence has evolved into a visually rich, immersive experience that communicates the lifestyle, philosophy, and vision behind the development. Visitors are now able to understand at a glance what makes Frances Estates unique: the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness, modern living and natural beauty, family and independence.
The streamlined structure makes it easy for prospective buyers to explore available lots, learn about The Village at Frances Estates, and envision their lives within the community. With clear messaging, high-quality imagery, and a refined layout, the website builds emotional connection and trust from the very first interaction.
From a functional standpoint, the site performs seamlessly across devices, ensuring that both local and out-of-state buyers enjoy the same smooth experience whether they’re browsing on a phone, tablet, or desktop. The improved SEO structure has also laid the groundwork for better visibility in search results, helping Frances Estates attract more qualified inquiries and strengthen its reputation in the growing Locust area.
Through the collaboration with Next Wave, Frances Estates now has more than a website — it has a powerful marketing tool that reflects its story, supports its sales efforts, and grows alongside the community itself.
