By default, your website will have homepage widgets. There are multiple styles to choose from including Luxury, Standard, and Modern. To learn more about the homepage widgets, click here.

The Standard widget, by default, will automatically create four images tied to Multi-Family, Houses, Land, and Condos, as well as links matching those types of properties when someone clicks on one of the images on your website. The number shown on the tile equates to the number of listings that are pulled from your specific MLS onto kvCORE for your contacts to view.

Please Note: If you have had custom work done on your website, proceed with caution. Do not overwrite or replace any code or setting unless you're sure you have your code saved externally.

To add the Standard Default Property Type widget first hover over 'Web & IDX' from the main navigation on the left-hand side. Then, select 'Website Content'.

Then, choose 'Widgets' from the top.

Find the Default Property Type widget and select 'Add' from the Widget Library.

This will add the widget to your website.

While this may seem intimidating, after this tutorial, you should be able to feel empowered to make some updates yourself.

Please Note: It's not recommended to make HTML updates to your site without some previous HTML knowledge. InsideRE Support cannot assist with editing HTML for you.

Accessing the HTML/Source Code Information

First, click on the Web & IDX tab from the main navigation on the left-hand side. Then, select 'Go to Site Editor' from the top right.

This will open your website so that it may be edited.

To edit a specific tile, highlight it from the main Site Editor and then select the source code icon '</>'. This will show you the specific HTML related to the tile.

The image below indicates where the tile is located in the code as well as the link for the properties.

Editing the Tile Name

To edit the name replace the tile (ex: 'Multi-Property') with another type (such as Reduced, Income Properties, etc).

TIP: To replace the name, backspace to the first character, and then add your new name. From there, delete the first original letter. This will insure

Example: Changing “Multi-Property” to New Construction would become “MNew Construction” (then you delete that capital M).

Creating the New Link

You can create the link with a Squeeze Page with the registration turned off or by using the search function on your website.
