Squarespace for Student Housing

Squarespace Website for Rentals Targeting Grad Students in Chicago


Why Real Estate Brokers Turn to Squarespace for Marketing


Citing the need for a reliable website that graduate students in the Chicago area could turn for their housing search, StudentSpace fills a niche in the rental marketplace for student housing. Another project for the Chicago Real Estate Broker @Properties, this new website adds to the growing portfolio of Fix8 Media’s Squarespace real estate websites.


Built in the Squarespace Brine template, the student housing website opens with a motion video background of the Chicago skyline. Scrolling down, visitors are met with quick calls to action to start their search, get in touch with StudentSpace, and evaluate all of their options. A sense of trust is established right from the start that students have landed on a vetted website where they can feel confident about finding the most suitable housing for their needs.


A look at the interior pages displays a logical layout that quickly and easily directs the visitor to their school or neighborhood of choice. Using a visual grid layout in Squarespace keeps the design modern and clean, providing an extremely fluid user experience. “When you’re working with as much data and as many options as StudentSpace has to offer its audience, it’s important to organize that information for the visitor as logically as possible,” says Fix8 Media Creative Director and Squarespace Expert Josh Neimark. “Knowing how daunting it can be to look for an apartment while you’re getting ready to start or continue your graduate studies, we wanted the user experience to be as effortless as possible, which is largely informed by the organized and photo-heavy grid layouts you’ll see throughout the StudentSpace Squarespace website.”


After reading the FAQs and testimonials from happy customers, interested parties both here in the U.S. as well as international students are encouraged to complete a simple Squarespace form to start their search for the right space to call home with the experienced team at StudentSpace.
