Can renters see live availability and reserve online?

Yes — live unit availability and pricing plus a full reserve-and-rent flow let customers rent after hours without a call. See reservations for storage facilities.

Can tenants pay and set up autopay online?

Yes — online payments and autopay cut delinquency and remove the manager's collection task, connected to payments.

Can we integrate with our facility management software?

Yes — unit availability, reservations, and payments integrate with your facility management system so the site reflects real inventory. See the platform tier.

Do we need an app for tenant accounts?

No — a logged-in web tenant portal covers reservations, payments, and access without an install; that's the right build over a mobile app. Details on the app page.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Websites, apps & automation for self-storage facilities

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

Nabee Studio builds custom websites, platforms, and automation for self-storage facilities — from $4,500 one-time or $499/mo for 24 months with maintenance and hosting included. One partner replaces the stack of vendors, template subscriptions, and manual work, so working with us saves money, time, or both.

Self-storage is a nearly self-serve business that most facility websites refuse to let be self-serve. A prospect wants to see which unit sizes are available, what they cost, and reserve one — ideally at 9pm when they realize they need space. Instead, many sites show a static size chart and a phone number, forcing a call during office hours for a transaction the customer would happily complete alone.

The cost is direct: rentals lost to the facility down the road that lets you reserve online, and a manager's day spent quoting availability, taking payments, and answering gate-and-access questions by phone.

Where self-storage facilities lose time and money online

Availability and pricing aren't shown live

Renters want to know what's available and what it costs, right now. A static size chart with a phone number loses them to a facility that shows live unit availability and price. Real-time availability turns browsers into reservations.

Online reservation and rental are missing

Self-storage is a transaction a customer will happily complete alone, often after hours. No online reserve-and-rent flow means every rental requires a call during business hours — and the after-hours intent goes to a competitor.

Payments and autopay are handled at the desk

Monthly payments taken by phone or in person create late payments and admin work. Online payment and autopay reduce delinquency and remove a recurring manual task for the manager.

Access, gate, and move-in questions repeat endlessly

Gate hours, access codes, insurance requirements, move-in steps — asked constantly. A clear self-serve FAQ and account area answer them and free the manager from being a phone-based help desk.

What manual work does a custom build remove?

The typical self-storage facility runs on manual touchpoints like these:

Quoting unit availability and pricing over the phone
Taking reservations and rentals by phone during office hours only
Processing monthly payments at the desk or by phone
Chasing late and delinquent payments manually
Answering gate hours, access, and insurance questions repeatedly
Managing move-in paperwork and lease signing in person

Each of those is hours a week that a custom build turns into software:

Live unit availability & pricing — Real-time display of available sizes and prices so a prospect can see what's open and what it costs without calling.
Online reserve & rent — A full reserve-and-rent flow, including lease e-signature, so customers can rent a unit after hours without the office being open.
Online payments & autopay — Monthly payments and autopay handled online to cut delinquency and remove the manager's recurring payment-collection task.
Self-serve access & FAQ — A clear account area and FAQ that answer gate hours, access codes, and insurance questions so the manager isn't a phone help desk.

Integrations that matter for self-storage facilities

Facility management software (unit availability) · Online payments & autopay (Stripe) · E-signature for leases · Gate / access control systems · CRM / lead capture · Email + SMS notifications — built in, not bolted on with extra subscriptions.

What does it cost?

One scoping pass, one fixed number — no hourly billing. Self-storage runs on logged-in tenant accounts for reservations, payments, and access, which is inherently a platform; a very small facility could start with a website plus reservation forms.

Website — from $4,500 one-time (standard from $7,500), or $499/mo for 24 months with the Maintenance Plan and hosting included.
Platform — from $16,000 one-time, or $1,399/mo for 24 months with Website Update + Maintenance included.

The monthly plan totals somewhat more than paying up front — that's the honest trade for spreading the cost and having us operate everything for two years. Details in the payment plan guide and on the pricing page.
