Day in the Life of a Web Developer at LCS

Company Spotlight

In today’s digital world, a strong online presence is essential for businesses of all sizes across every industry. As of 2023, 71% of businesses have a website, and approximately 29% of all business activity occurs online. However, simply having a website is not enough to guarantee success. A clean, functional website design is even more important—48% of internet users use the visual presentation of a website as a crucial factor in determining a business’s credibility. This is why LCS’ Professional Services Web team is dedicated to creating exceptional websites for business while offering unmatched client support.

Made up of talented Website Designers/Developers, Analysts, and Support Specialists, our team works relentlessly to craft websites tailored to the unique needs of every business. We recently sat down with a few of our web experts to get an inside look at their day-to-day life at LCS.

Building Strong Online Connections

At LCS, our Website Designers/Developers frequently work with customers of our property management software, Rent Manager, to build websites that seamlessly integrate with their Rent Manager databases. This allows property managers to display property and unit availability directly on their sites, enhancing the resident experience.

“Our team works on a variety of projects,” says Website Designer/Developer Marty Beaugard. “We have RM Web Pro, which is themes that our team has built… [and] we have our custom websites, which is custom [built] from the ground up. Generally, we’re assigned a project, work with the client, and once the project is ready to go, we take that website live for them.”

A Typical Day for an LCS Website Designer/Developer

For our employees, every day consists of focused project work alongside communication with clients and team members. “In the morning, we’ll have a team meeting, and then in the afternoon I usually work on custom sites, integrations, [and] whatever the customer needs,” says Web Designer/Developer II Sarah Bode. She also keeps a close eye on her emails throughout the day, ensuring any client questions or website needs are promptly addressed before she digs back into her tasks.

For Beaugard, he says his day-to-day varies, which is “one thing I do like a lot about my role.” He organizes his schedule around client calls and the needs of ongoing projects, often switching between different tasks. “Some days, I’ll work on a project for the entire day; other days, I’ll work on one project in the morning and one project in the afternoon, so it really just kind of varies.”

Web Developers Making a Difference

Through their dedication and expertise, our Website Designers/Developers play a pivotal role in helping customers achieve their business goals. “[Our customers] want to bring as many prospects [as possible] to their properties and units, and one great way to do that is to have a good website,” says Beaugard. “So, if you have a very professional website, you have good photos, you have good information… it’s going to attract more people to your site, which will ultimately help them grow their business.” It’s through the creation of these impactful websites that our team can see their work directly benefiting their clients.

LCS Supports Career Growth

At LCS, we’re not just focused on delivering exceptional websites—we also believe in investing in the growth and development of our team members. Our Professional Services Web team, along with all LCS employees, have access to a variety of professional development opportunities, including career coaches, cross-training programs, and specialized courses through Rent Manager University. This commitment ensures that our team stays at the forefront of web development trends, enhancing the value we provide to our clients.

But it’s not just about professional growth. Sarah Bode shares that one of the reasons she continues to thrive at LCS is the sense of support and appreciation she feels. “I feel like the company genuinely wants to see me succeed and is always there when I need help,” she says. With a work environment that encourages both personal and professional development, LCS offers a place where all employees can truly make a lasting impact on our clients’ businesses.
