| Before you start customizing your new KW Agent Site, you first need to ensure you Upgrade to the New Agent Site Experience. Once you upgrade, you will see a new navigation in the Consumer Applet, in Command, and you will be able to follow along with this article. |
Before you start editing the pages of your website, it's recommended to add the individual content elements to the Library and then edit the page. This will make editing each page easier, and you won't have to sidetrack to add the content elements while building out your pages.
There are five main default pages that you can edit:
To edit the default pages of your KW Agent Site:
Access
1. Log in to https://agent.kw.com with your KW login credentials.
2. Click the Consumer icon, , on the left sidebar.
3. On the My Website tab, click the Edit My Website button, in the middle of the page.
Toward the bottom of the Website Builder Dashboard, you will see the list of default pages you can click on to edit:
The About Me Page
1. When editing this page, you will first see three sections: Agent Profile, Agent Bio, and Agent Details. You have the ability to either Display or Hide each of these sections.
- The information on each of these pages is pulled from your KW Marketing Profile, and you are not able to edit here in the Agent Website Builder.
2. In addition to those three section, you will see a section that allows you to showcase Preferred Vendors on this page as well. First, add vendors to the vendor platform, using the list at the top of the section, then enter a Title & Description. The vendors will display once added, without you having to publish here.
- You can also use the Display or Hide Module field to hide this section from the About Me Page.
- You must have an agent role for vendors to appear. If you have no vendors added, this section still appear, with a link to a contact form.

The Homepage
When editing the homepage of your website, there are four sections to edit:
The Listing Search Module (Homepage)
1. In the Listing Search Module section, first enter a Title (optional). This is the bold text that displays above the search bar, at the top of your homepage.
- If you don't enter anything here, the text will read "Let's find your dream home".
2. Next, select the carousel images you want displayed behind the listing search bar. There are 3 default images added, but you have the ability to add your own custom images.
- As soon as you click to add your own, it will replace the defaults. If you remove all of the images you added, the defaults will take over.
- When adding images, you have the ability to upload images directly, or you can search the Agent Website Builder Content Library and select images you have already added beforehand.
| With regards to the actual hero images you will be uploading, the recommended hero image size is 1728x536 px, but there is flexibility to that when adding other sizes. |
Featured Properties (Homepage)
1. In the Featured Properties section, first select whether you want to display featured properties or not. Use the drop-down and select either Display or Hide.
2. Next, enter a Title and Description for this section. There is default text in place, but you can replace that with your own.
- The Description is like a subtitle for the section, displaying under the Title.
3. Now we need to decide which listings appear. There are two choices for this section: Dynamic or Basic:
Dynamic - select a location and criteria for automatic featured listings to appear on your homepage, with you potentially not having to manage it. The best way to think about this is, you set criteria for which listings could appear, set how you want it sorted, and the system builds a list of listings within that range of criteria, with that sorting. Then, you select how many listings you want displayed in the listing carousel.
- This won't display random listings, that meet the criteria, through the carousel, but will show a consistent list of listings no matter who views the page.
3A. In the Location field, click in the drop-down and use the search to select the location where you want the map pin to be located. This will combine with the Search Radius to determine where you want your dynamic featured listings to pull from.
- Using this location search, you can enter a zip/postal code, city, neighborhood, or specific address. When you select a location, the map pin will be placed at the center of the boundary for that location.
- Entering and selecting a specific address gives you the most accurate location for the map pin.
3B. Select the max number of listings to display, the search radius, and how you want to sort the listings in the list.
3C. In addition to the dynamic settings and filters, you can also add specific listings to the featured properties list. These will always show at the beginning of the list of featured properties, regardless of the sorting or filters set.
- When you add specific featured listings, they will stay on the list until you remove them, regardless of whether the listing has sold or been taken off market.
3D. Set listing filters to control the type of listings you want to display.
- The Keywords field searches the listing description of listings, and looks for a keyword match.
Basic - this gives you full control over this section. Select the listings you want to display using the address search. No automatic changes will be made here until you edit this list later.
- When you add specific featured listings, they will stay on the list until you remove them, regardless of whether the listing has sold or been taken off market.
