Window Cards

Window Cards are located in the Collateral Templates section and host a variety of different templates and design options. Due to the level of complexity an agent requires, some of them are easier to utilise than others. This article will walk you through how to create some more advanced window card templates.

To start head to Settings (left side panel) > Branch Settings > Collateral Templates. This section stores both window cards and brochures. For help creating brochure templates, see our Brochure Templates help article.

Click 'New Template' and give it a name. The name you assign here is what will show on the drop-down selection when choosing which window card template to use for a certain property, so use something that will make the choice of design easily identifiable.

From the 'collateral template' drop down, select 'window card' and set the orientation (landscape or portrait) and the size (A4 or A3).

At the top left of the page, click 'template settings' and you can edit the name of the template as well as adjust both the font and font colour.

When the creator opens up you will be able to choose from 10 different layouts on the left hand side. All of these layouts are fixed, so you cannot adjust where the images / text are, but you should be able to find one that suits your agency:

Once you have selected one of the layouts, you can collapse that menu by clicking the small arrow icon opposite 'Layout' and move on to the next section, background:

There will be some set colours to choose from, or you can select from the colour picker or enter a hex code if you have one. This will add a block colour to the background:

Some agencies prefer to have different colours included in their background, like the black, grey and white split design in the example below. This would need to be done by adding a background image into your account, rather than choosing the background colours from within Street itself. Software such as Canva makes it really simple to achieve this, like in the example below:

Once you have your background image file ready, click the 'Add background image' toggle and then click 'upload a background':

Upload the background image from your computer and it will appear in the backgrounds section. Click the image to see how it looks in your window card:

If after adding a background you need to adjust the font colour, head back to 'template settings' in the top left.

When you need something more customisable than stickers, you also have the option to add a foreground image. These work exactly the same as background images, except they will layer in front of the photos and text. Foreground images are used for more custom logos that stickers won't allow for, but you can add whatever you like, the intention being that you will still be able to see a large proportion of the photo, text or background sat behind it.

Stickers allow you to add an overlaying image and these will be freely movable on top of the template.

This section is typically use for logos and QR codes, SSTC or let Agreed slips etc. but you can add whatever stickers you want here by clicking the 'upload image' button:

Once you've uploaded an image, select it from your list of stickers and it will appear on your window card. This sticker can then be moved around, re-sized and deleted if needed:

By default, your stickers section will have QR codes for 'public property page', which directs to the property's public page on Street, and 'book viewing page', which directs to the Street online booking page:

When added to the template, they will appear as generic QR codes however when you generate a QR code from a property page, it will automatically generate a unique QR code for that property.

When you are finished, click the 'save' button at the top right and the template will save to your branch and be available to choose when generating a window card from a property.

If you ever need to edit an existing window card template, head back to Settings (left side panel) > Branch Settings > Collateral Templates > where you can find your window card, click the three dots and click edit. This is also how you would delete a template from your system.

Once saved, your staff can then use this window card template on any properties in the branch the template was create for. For help on creating a window card from a property, see our Generating a Window Card help article.
