In the competitive property sector, making your mark online has become an absolute necessity for modern estate agents. Creating an estate agent website is not just about displaying property listings – it is a virtual extension of your agency, reflecting your identity, values and professionalism. A well-designed and functional website can be a powerful tool for attracting new customers, generating leads and offering useful services that set your agency apart from the competition.
Here is a more detailed exploration of the different types of property websites that can help you choose the right one for your business:
Agency showcase sites
These websites are your agency’s digital storefront, perfect for telling your brand’s story, sharing your core values and introducing the team behind your success. A showcase site should be welcoming, informative, and reflect your agency’s unique culture, encouraging visitors to contact you for their estate agent needs.
Property portals

5 steps to creating an estate agent website
Building an estate agent website may seem complicated, but by following the right steps, you can simplify the creation process and achieve great results. Simply follow these five key steps.
1. Outline your estate agency website project
Before you focus on the technical aspects, take the time to clearly define the objectives of your estate agent website by asking yourself these fundamental questions:
- Who is the target audience for your website? (buyers, sellers, tenants, etc.)
- What types of property would you like to showcase? (residential, commercial, land, etc.)
- What brand image do you want to convey through your website?
Answering these questions will help guide the design, content, and functionality of your website to best meet your users’ needs and your agency’s goals.
2. Choose the right platform
The WordPress content management system is often recommended for its flexibility and ease of use, but there are other options depending on your specific needs. OVHcloud offers optimised hosting solutions for different platforms, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your project.
3. Select a domain name and a hosting plan
Choosing a relevant and memorable domain name is crucial for your agency’s online identity. OVHcloud offers a wide range of domain name and hosting options, ensuring you find the perfect combination for your estate agent website. Remember to choose a domain name that faithfully reflects your brand image and industry.
4. Design and develop your website
Now is the time to bring your website to life. Start by selecting a design that best represents your brand. With thousands of themes available on WordPress, you are sure to find one that suits your style. Then customise your website by adding pages dedicated to listing properties, an “About” page to introduce your agency, and a contact page to facilitate viewings. Add advanced features like internal search engines, contact forms, and interactive maps to enhance the user experience.
5. Launch, test and improve
Once you have finished creating your website, it's time to launch it. However, the work does not stop there. Test all your features to make sure they work as expected. Ask for user feedback and be ready to make changes to improve the customer experience. Also, remember to continually optimise your website for search engines to improve your online visibility.
By following these steps, you lay a solid foundation for building an estate agent website that not only effectively showcases your properties, but also serves as a powerful marketing tool for your business. With OVHcloud, you get a scalable platform that can scale with the growth of your estate agency, allowing you to add extra features as and when you need them.

Why create an estate agent website?
First, a website provides a 24/7 “shop window”, allowing prospects to discover your estate agents at any time, increasing your sales or rental opportunities. What’s more, a personalised estate agent website greatly enhances your credibility and professionalism in the eyes of customers, establishing a strong and positive first impression. This creates a platform where you can not only present your properties in an appealing way with high resolution photos and detailed descriptions, but also share customer testimonials and successful case studies, boosting visitor trust and engagement.
Furthermore, a estate agent website is a powerful digital marketing tool. It allows you to leverage SEO to increase your visibility in search results, effectively targeting potential customers looking for properties in your region. With the right content and optimisation strategies, you can position yourself as an industry thought leader, offering advice, estate agent news, and market analyses that draw qualified traffic to your website. Finally, a estate agent website makes it easier to integrate advanced features, such as online appointment booking, virtual tours and contact forms, all of which simplify customer communication and speed up the sales process.
