Creating Your Website
Creating a website on ListHouze takes just a few minutes. The setup wizard walks you through choosing a template, setting your brand colors and fonts, and selecting a theme. Once complete, your website is live immediately on a ListHouze subdomain.
Accessing the Website Builder
Navigate to Website in your dashboard sidebar. You can also reach it from these routes depending on your account type:
- Agents: Agent Dashboard → Website
- Agencies: Owner Dashboard → Website
- Mortgage Brokers: Mortgage Dashboard → Website
- Private Sellers: Seller Dashboard → Website
All paths lead to the same Website Builder portal.
The Setup Wizard
When you first access the Website Builder, the setup wizard appears automatically. It has up to five steps depending on your account type.
Step 1: Who Are You?
Select your website type - Agency, Agent, Mortgage Broker, or Private Seller.

Step 2: Choose a Template
Browse the template marketplace to find a starting point for your website. Each template includes a pre-configured home page layout with sections, default branding colors, and a suggested theme.
Available templates include:
| Template | Best For | Sections Included |
|---|---|---|
| Auckland Pro | Agencies | Hero with search, featured listings, about, team, CTA, contact |
| Sydney Agent | Individual agents | Hero, featured listings, about, testimonials, contact |
| Wellington Classic | Boutique agencies | Hero, featured listings, about, team, contact |
| Melbourne Boutique | Luxury market | Hero with search, featured listings, about, stats, team, CTA |
| Christchurch Modern | Agents | Hero, featured listings, about, CTA, contact |
Templates show live miniature previews so you can see exactly what your site will look like before selecting one. You can fully customize any template after creation.
Step 3: Branding
Set your initial brand identity:
- Primary color - The main color used for buttons, links, and accents

- Logo - Upload your agency or personal logo
- Hero image - The large background image on your home page
You can change all of these later from the Branding editor.
