Foundation Sites
A premium agency website. We build it, you approve it.
Not a template to fill in on a wet Sunday. We put your words, your photographs and your patch into it. It starts with a call: your patch, the towns you want to be found in, your photographs and your words, and the site is built around that, and it is live within 72 hours of the call at the outside. You sign it off before it goes anywhere. £499 for the build, £350 with a year of the CRM up front, then £10 a month hosting from the day it goes live.
What the build includes
- Homepage, listings, property pages, about, contact
- A page for every town you cover, and the local SEO to go with it
- Your own domain, certificate and renewals handled
- The HM Land Registry valuation tool as your lead magnet
- Buyer and tenant register, feeding a lead dashboard
- Somewhere to add your properties and publish them
- £10 a month hosting, from the day it goes live
Your homepage, your listings, your voice.
And the window, filled from the CRM.
Nobody re-types a listing. Instruct a property in the CRM and it appears here, with its photographs, its floor area and its status badge, and it comes off the market the moment you mark it sold.
Built to feel like it was designed for you.
It starts with a call
We talk through your patch, your photographs, the words you want on it and how you actually work, and we build the site around that. Live within 72 hours of that call at the outside, and usually sooner. You are not handed an empty template and wished luck on a wet Sunday.
Local SEO for your towns
A page for each town you tell us you want to be found in, written for the searches people in that town actually make, and the whole site rendered for search engines rather than left for them to guess at. Your towns, chosen on the call, not a generic list.
Your own domain
Point youragency.co.uk, or any domain you own, straight at it. We handle the record, the certificate and the renewal.
Your listings, published when you say so
Somewhere to put your houses and a publish button. Nothing reaches the site until you press it, and if you buy the CRM later the listings are already there.
The valuation tool and buyer register
The homepage's main call to action is the HM Land Registry-backed valuation tool, on your own pages, and buyers register their search criteria on the site. Both are in the build. Neither needs a plan.
Your regulatory badges
The Property Ombudsman, Client Money Protect, and any other badge your agency holds. Shown correctly, not a generic placeholder.
Your website and your CRM were always two different systems. With Foundation they are the same one.
Before
A property goes Under Offer in the CRM. Someone remembers to update the website, eventually.
Now
The status changes once, in the CRM. The website reflects it immediately, because it's the same record.
The questions we're usually asked over the phone.
Is this a website builder, or a finished site?
A finished site, and we are the ones who finish it. There is no drag-and-drop editor to fight with: we take your logo, your photographs, your copy and the areas you cover, build the site around them, and you approve it before it goes live. Changing it afterwards is one settings screen, not a developer.
Do I need a Foundation plan to have one?
No. The build carries the valuation tool, the buyer and tenant register and somewhere to put your properties, so it stands up on its own with no subscription behind it. Add the CRM later and the listings you have already published are there waiting.
What does it cost?
£499 for the build, once. £350 if you buy it alongside a year of the CRM paid up front. Then £10 a month for hosting, added the day the site actually goes live and not a day before.
How long does it take?
We get in touch as soon as you have paid and book a call to go through your patch, the towns you want to rank in, your photographs and your words. From that call it is 72 hours at the outside to a working, live site, and it is often quicker. You tell us what to change, and it goes live when you are happy with it.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, and we would recommend it. Point youragency.co.uk at us, or a subdomain if you would rather leave your existing site where it is, and we handle the record, the certificate and the renewal.
Where do new listings come from?
From wherever you add them. With the CRM, a property you publish appears with its photographs, its floor area and its status badge, and comes off the market the moment you mark it sold. Without the CRM, you get a back end to add and publish them yourself.
I already have a website. Can I keep it?
Keep it. The valuation tool, the calculators and the live listings plugin each embed into a site you already run in one line, and that is where most agencies start. The build is for when the site itself is the problem.
Stop paying a web developer to update a listing.
£499 one-off · £350 with an annual CRM · £10 a month hosting
Buy the site on its own, or add the CRM and hosting to it. Either way we book a call first, and go through your patch, the towns you want to be found in, your photographs and your words before anybody builds anything.
