With the launch of KW Team Sites, we now have a Team Marketing Profile where you can enter team specific information that will populate your KW Team Site. Once you complete your Team Marketing Profile, you can then create the domain name and launch your KW Team Site.
In order to be able to launch and manage your KW Team Site, you must first complete and save your KW Team Marketing Profile.
Only team members with Enhanced or Unlimited permissions are able to edit the Team Marketing Profile and manage the content of the KW Team Site. |
To create your KW Team Site in Command for Teams:
Access
1. Log in to https://agent.kw.com with your KW login credentials.
2. Click your name, at the top right of the page, and ensure that your team is selected, not your personal account.
3. Click to access the Websites Applet, , on the left side of the page.
From here, we need to create the subdomain for your KW Team Site. There are two ways to do this: create a new subdomain or transfer the subdomain of a team member's personal site:
Create a New Subdomain
Using this method, you will enter a new subdomain you want to use for your KW Team Site:
1. On the Update Subdomain tab, enter the part of the domain you want to come before ".kw.com," check the box confirming that you want this subdomain, then click Claim Team Subdomain.
As long as that subdomain has not been claimed by another agent or team, the domain will be saved and your team site will be launched where you can start editing.
Transfer Subdomain
Using this method, you have the ability to transfer a team member's personal site domain to become your KW Team Site domain. The system will then have you choose a new subdomain for that agent's personal site. This is a great option for Rainmakers who have branded their personal site as a team site.
- It is important that the person whose subdomain you want to transfer is the person logging in to the Team Marketing Profile to do this.
- The team member must have either Enhanced or Unlimited permissions to access the Team Marketing Profile.
1. On the Transfer Subdomain tab, you will see the logged in team member's personal site subdomain populated. Click Start Subdomain Transfer.
2. A pop-up will appear, enter the new subdomain for this agent's personal KW Agent Site, then click Transfer and Claim.
As long as that subdomain has not been claimed by another agent or team, the domain will be transferred, and your team site will be launched where you can start editing.
Access Your KW Team Site
1. From the the top of this page, click Edit Team Website.
2. Once you are in the Agent Website Builder, click your name (at the top of the page, next to the content search bar), and select your team from the drop-down.
- This how you switch between your personal and team site, in the Agent Website Builder.
Once you switch, your site will be live and will include the default setup:
- Property Search - this includes a search bar on the homepage and a dedicated search page in the navigation.
- Featured Properties - included on the homepage.
- A Blog - this includes a 4-part First Time Homebuyer's Guide by default.
- A Meet The Team page - this is a customizable page where you can choose team members whose info pulls from their personal Market Profile, or you can enter custom information for each agent.
- A Leave a Review page - this is a form to capture testimonials and reviews.
Custom Domains
- If you have a custom domain you can work with your domain provider and configure your domain to forward to your new agent site. For example: www.jessica.com -> jessica.kw.com
- Please note that the "https" prefix is required for domain forwarding to work accordingly.
- Here are links to these steps for some notable domain providers, if your custom domain provider is not on this list you should be able to easily find the steps for your specific domain provider by going to their direct website.
