Jacksonville, Florida, March 16, 2026 – W.L. Martin Home Designs is excited to announce a major improvement to the customer experience: home plans can now be purchased directly on wlmartinhomes.com through a secure online checkout platform. This update replaces the company’s previous custom order process for most purchases, making it faster and easier for developers, homebuyers, and anyone seeking innovative home designs, including W.L. Martin’s popular Affordable by Design plan options, to access high-quality residential plans without delay.
For years, W.L. Martin Home Designs processed many plan orders through a manual, custom workflow. While customization remains available, the new direct purchase capability gives customers a streamlined path to purchase and receive their plan files quickly, reducing turnaround time and simplifying the buying process.
“This is an important step forward for our customers and our team,” said Bill Martin, president of W.L. Martin Home Designs. “By enabling secure online purchases, we can deliver plan files faster and more efficiently than a fully manual order process. We still offer customization when a project requires it, but this new system saves time for both the buyer and our staff. It also helps us serve a wider range of customers, from developers to individual homebuyers looking for smart, buildable designs.”
The move to direct online purchasing supports W.L. Martin Home Designs’ commitment to practical, build-friendly plans that fit real-world needs and construction budgets. Developers can now select plans quickly for communities and infill projects, while homebuyers gain easier access to designs that balance livability, curb appeal, and efficient use of square footage.
This improvement also strengthens the company’s mission of offering cost-conscious, thoughtfully designed homes through its Affordable by Design approach, helping builders and buyers find plans that maximize function without unnecessary complexity.
Home plans are available now for direct purchase at https://wlmartinhomes.com.

Bill Martin, president of W.L. Martin Home Designs, has been designing homes since 1983. He founded W.L. Martin Home Designs in 1986, originally designing homes for contractors and homeowners in northern Florida, and he also built homes for several years after obtaining his building license. As demand for his plans grew, he returned to designing exclusively. Martin’s work reflects a balance of cost-effective construction methods and architectural creativity, with an emphasis on traditional curb appeal, well-proportioned elevations, and outdoor living spaces such as front and rear porches. His designs prioritize efficient use of square footage, minimizing wasted space and incorporating practical dimensions that help reduce jobsite waste while maximizing livability and perceived spaciousness.
