THE OBSERVATION

West Austin Properties was founded in 1980. Laura Duggan is second generation. Her daughter Katy Duggan Rymer is third. Forty-five years of the same family selling the same neighborhoods — Tarrytown, Westlake Hills, Barton Creek, Lost Creek. One hundred percent of their business is word of mouth. The original site was a WordPress build with twelve navigation items, MLS search, preferred lenders, market reports, webinars, neighborhood guides, buyer resources, seller resources, and two separate testimonial pages. A practice that built its entire reputation on discretion and restraint was hiding behind a site that had none of either. We saw it. We fixed it.

THE THINKING

A third-generation family practice with forty-five years of word-of-mouth business didn't need more features. It needed fewer. The new site has three navigation items — Neighborhoods, The People, and Contact. Four neighborhood cards, each with a single evocative line. Four agent profiles, each with a personal quote. Three client testimonials attributed to the neighborhoods they love. One email form. One phone number. The entire site is built around what West Austin Properties actually is — a small, quiet, deeply rooted family practice that has been handing people pieces of Austin for almost half a century. This is not a prettier version of a cluttered WordPress site. This is restraint as a brand strategy.

WHAT WAS BUILT

Three-Item Navigation

Neighborhoods, The People, and Contact. Nothing else. The restraint is the message.

Limestone Estate Hero

Four Neighborhood Cards

Tarrytown — where old Austin lives quietly. Westlake Hills — a skyline of cedar and lake light. Barton Creek — limestone, fairways, and long evenings. Lost Creek — a hidden bend of the hill country. Each with photography and one line. Nothing more.

Four Agent Profiles

Laura Duggan, Broker Owner — second generation, the foundation of it all. Katy Duggan Rymer, Agent — third generation, real estate is in her blood. Kimberly Kohlhaas, Agent — every client and every house, a once in a lifetime combination. Caroline Woods, Agent — white glove service, lasting relationships.

Three Client Testimonials

Attributed to a Tarrytown family, a Westlake Hills client, and a Barton Creek homeowner. Quiet. Specific. Earned.

Email Contact Form

One input. One button — Be in touch. Or call. That is the entire contact experience.

Single Page Architecture

No MLS. No mortgage calculator. No webinar archive. No preferred lender page. Just the practice, presented with the same discretion it has always operated with.

What you're looking at is not a redesign. It's an edit. West Austin Properties has been a family practice since 1980 — three generations, four agents, four neighborhoods, and forty-five years of clients who send their children back when it's time. The original WordPress site had twelve navigation items and buried all of that under features nobody needed. We removed everything that wasn't the practice. Three navigation items. Four neighborhood cards. Four agent profiles. One email form. Restraint as a brand strategy. This is what Curas does. We don't add things. We find what's already there and let it breathe.
