NEW! Team Website Overview 8/20

Introduction

Welcome to the Team Website Overview for the new KW Command platform! In this article, we'll walk you through the essential steps to set up and manage your team websites effectively, ensuring that your marketing presence is strong and cohesive.

Getting Started with Team Websites

To utilize the team websites on the KW Command platform, you must first have launched the new website platform. This is a prerequisite for fully accessing the capabilities of the team site. If you haven’t launched your new site yet, this will be your first action item.

User Permissions

Only team members who have enhanced or unlimited permissions will have the ability to edit the team marketing profile. If you find you cannot access your marketing profile, it might be due to your permission level. In such a case, an adjustment may be necessary from the back end through the Rainmaker account.

Logging into Command

Begin by logging in at agent.kw.com using your KW username and password. Remember that while the username is not case sensitive, the password is, so be careful to enter it correctly, including any capitalization.

Setting Up the Marketing Profile

Click on your name in the top right corner.
Switch to your team account if you’re not already there.
Click on your name again and navigate to "Settings."
On the left side, go to "Connect Settings" and select "Marketing Profile."

If your permissions are set correctly, you should see the "Team Marketing Profile" option at the top, indicating you can make edits and add pertinent information about your team.

Key Features of the Marketing Profile

Team Logo: Upload your team logo (recommended size: 360x360 pixels, but not strictly necessary).
Affiliations: Add any military or other relevant affiliations.
Team Bio: Create a team-oriented bio. If you don't have one yet, you can enter just a period or use your personal bio temporarily.
Contact Info: Enter your office phone and email details.
Market Center Information: Note that the Market Center name is fixed and cannot be edited.
Compliance Information: If required, include legal footers or compliance links.
Social Media Links: Add links to your social media accounts.
Google Analytics ID: Insert your Google Analytics tracking number for insights.

Once all required information is filled out, don’t forget to save your changes.

Claiming Your Subdomain

If you have a team domain previously linked to your personal website, log into the Command account that owns that domain to transfer it to your team website.

Accessing the Backend of Your Site

To access the backend of your team website, either:

Click "Edit My Team Sites" within the marketing profile, or
Navigate to the "Websites" tab in Command.

Here, you will find options to edit your team site’s homepage, featured properties, testimonials, and blog sections. Remember to publish any changes you make.

Additional Settings

Under the "Settings" menu, you will find options for your subdomain and app URL settings. You can create a custom registration requirement, determining how many properties a user can view before registering.

Editing Team Pages

In the backend (often called "Expert Mode"), key pages include:

About the Agent: This will pull information from the Rainmaker, so updates need to be made in that account.
Meet the Team: Showcase team members and manage preferred vendors.
Homepage: Customize hero images, featured properties, and testimonials.
Blog Section: Manage blog posts and their display on the website.

Understanding Dynamic vs. Basic Features

When adjusting features like testimonials, the dynamic option allows for filtering by location and newer posts, while the basic option displays specific entries you selectively choose.

Conclusion

The KW Command platform’s team website functionalities are powerful tools for establishing your team's online presence. Following these steps will help ensure your site is well-organized, compliant, and reflective of your branding.
