A conversation with Melissa Morman & Tim Costello

AI speed.

Homebuilder digital experience — when one builder moves like a team.

The shift — and a confession

I built BeJane.com for BDX — over five years.

5 years an afternoon

This week I rebuilt it from the archive in one afternoon. The craft didn’t get cheaper — the build did.  See it live: wholetech.com/bejane

02  /  The cost collapse
Proof, not promises

One operator. A network the size of a team’s.

194
live sites, built solo
~34K
visitors / month
24/7
self-running engines

Each site carries live content, event-calendar, and lead-capture engines that update themselves — no agency retainer, no dev queue.

03  /  Proof at scale
Your category

You taught 1,300 builders to win the buyer online.

BDX put digital customer acquisition under roughly 60% of the homes in America. That playbook still works.

What changed is the price of execution — a quarter of work is now a week of it.

The next wave — finally here

In 2017, Tim told builders to prepare for AI.

It arrived. Now the buyer brings an agent — and the listing that wins is the one the AI can find, read, and recommend.

Every site I build is Agents First by default. The network already lives there.

What I could build you

Pick a lane. I’ll have it standing in days.

Builder & community microsites

Distinctive, fast, lead-ready — one community or your whole portfolio.

An AI-discoverable listings layer

Homes structured so agents and search models can read and surface them.

A content & SEO engine

Fresh, accurate market pages that publish themselves on a schedule.

Lead-capture & CX flows

Your specialty — the buyer journey, instrumented and automated.

06  /  The menu
The ask

Give me one project.

Not a proposal in months — a working proof in days.

If it isn’t obviously good, you’ve lost a week. If it is, you’ve found a build-team of one.

07  /  Low risk, fast
Let’s build something

I have the time, the tools,
and the track record.
