Why We Built VibeSites: Multifamily's Website Problem
Every multifamily marketer knows the drill. You want to change a headline, swap a hero photo, or add a new floor plan page so you open a ticket.
You wait, but days pass and by the time the change goes live, the special you were promoting is nearly over.
That’s an operating problem that’s been baked into multifamily software for years.
At Repli, we built VibeSites because we got tired of watching it happen to the people we work with every single day.
We Ran Multifamily Marketing on Someone Else's Platform
Repli didn't start as a software company. Since 2018, we've run multifamily marketing by hand, slowly but surely. We’ve done the website builds, SEO strategies, paid search campaigns, and reporting for some of the biggest names in the business.
For years, we did it on a platform we didn't build. But we finally hit a ceiling.
Sites drifted from their own themes. A small structural request could cost three to six weeks. A special offer changed, and three surfaces needed three hand edits, but one was always missed. The roadmap belonged to someone else.
So we built our own platform.
We’d spent years sitting on the other side of that ticket queue, so we didn’t have to guess at what marketing teams actually needed.
A Legacy Landscape Built for Nobody in Particular
Look at where most multifamily websites come from today, and you'll find 2 options:
Large property management systems bundle websites into their software packages. That gets you a site fast. Since it's templated, however, it looks like every other property on the same system, ranks poorly, and takes weeks to update because the change has to route through someone else's queue.
The alternative is a custom build from an agency, which looks and performs better, but costs more and moves just as slowly once it's live.
Multifamily has been choosing between fast-and-generic or good-and-slow for years. We were ready to change that, and that’s how VibeSites came to be.
What We Actually Built
VibeSites is Repli's website product inside MultiHub. Most website tools added AI on top of their pre-existing model.
We built VibeSites around AI from day one.
Describe the change you want in plain language, and VibeSites writes the code and ships it: on brand, accessible, and in sync with the property's PMS and the rest of its marketing stack. And a human still approves what goes live.
Improve one site or improve them all at once. A change made once at the base theme or company level reaches every site that inherits it on its next deployment.
Every edit is also validated against the property's own data before someone approves what launches.
Another thing: we built VibeSites strictly for multifamily. That means multifamily schema, pages built around the searches renters actually run, and llms.txt on every site – out of the box.
Pricing, availability, special offers, and tour times all stay current as well because they're reading from the same place: the property's single system of record behind every site.
Part of Something Bigger
VibeSites doesn't live on its own. It's inside MultiHub, Repli's property marketing platform for multifamily – right alongside search performance, leads, and reporting tools.
A fast website doesn't help much if it's cut off from everything else your marketing team manages. We built VibeSites to be the front door of a platform, not another standalone tool with its own login.
What We're Seeing So Far
In June 2026, VibeSites was named the top website vendor for AI visibility in Peek's AI Discovery Black Book, 2nd edition.
VibeSites is live today for every new Repli customer and it's the default for every new logo we bring on.
Meanwhile, existing customers stay on Repli's legacy platform until a formal migration plan is in place, and we're rolling that out deliberately so nobody's site build gets rushed.
The Point of All of It
We didn't build VibeSites to chase an AI trend. We built it because we spent years watching good marketing teams get stuck waiting on their own website, and we finally had the tools to fix that the right way instead of patching around it.
