We're thrilled to be bringing you the most powerful release of Market Center Sites to date. The reimagined Agent Sites are packed with innovative features built to perform above and beyond the platform you already know, so you can streamline your workflow and boost productivity.

When you are ready to start making edits to your KW Market Center or Business Center Site, it's important to remember that every image, video, testimonial and blog post must be added to the Website Builder Content Library before you can add it to the actual page you want to include it on. There is an easy Create Menu that gives you easy access to create this content:

Before you start customizing your new KW Market Center Site, you first need to ensure you complete your Market Center Marketing Profile and claim your MC Site Subdomain. If you want to customize a Business Center Site, ensure you complete the Business Center Marketing Profile and claim your BC Site subdomain.

Before you start editing the pages of your website, it's recommended to add the individual content elements to the Library (that's what this article is focused on!) and then edit the page. This will make editing each page easier, and you won't have to sidetrack to add the content elements while building out your page. There are 4 types of content you can add:

1. Add Images
2. Add Videos
3. Add Blog Posts
4. Add Testimonials

In this article, let's go through how you can add each of these content elements for use when editing your site:

Access

1. Log in to https://agent.kw.com with your KW login credentials.

2. At the top of the page, click CommandMC.

3. Click to access the Sites Applet, ​, on the left sidebar.

4. Click in the "Choose Your Market Center" drop-down, and select the Market Center you want to work with.

5. At the top of the page, click Edit My Market Center Website.

If your Market Center has any associated Business Centers, you have access to Business Center Sites. To switch to managing one of your Business Center Sites, click your name (or team name/Market Center name), at the top of the page, and you will see the org selector. Select the Business Center you want to manage the site for, and follow along below.

 

Images

1. Click the Plus Sign, +, next to the content search, at the top of the page, then select Image.

2. First, enter an Internal Name for this image. This is important as you will have to search for and select the image when adding the image to a page, blog post, etc., and the Internal Name will be the best way to find it later.

3. In the File field, click Choose and select the image from your device. Once it uploads, you will see some editing options:

• Focus Point - as soon as it uploads, it will tell you to click inside the image to set a Focus Point. We will see resize options, this sets the center point as the system gives you auto-resize options.
• The Edit Icon, - click this icon, at the top right of the image, and you will see options to rotate, flip, adjust the brightness or contrast, as well as some image filters. There are also resize options you can select from, though you will always be able to access the original size.

4. In the Caption field (optional), you have the option to enter a short message which will display underneath the image, once you add it to a page or blog post.

• This is a good way to add image attribution/citation information, if you got permission to use the image, but are required to add this information.

5. Once you are ready, click Save, at the top right of the page. 

Once saved, you can go back to the Dashboard and continue adding content and editing pages.

Videos

1. Click the Plus Sign, +, next to the content search, at the top of the page, then select one of the two Video Options: Video (Vimeo URL) or Video (YouTube URL).

• The videos you want to add to your site will need to be hosted on one of these two platforms.

2. Enter the YouTube/Vimeo URL or ID.

• To locate this, find the video on either platform. Enter either the entire web address, or the ID you will find at the end of the web address.
  

3. Skip the Tags section, and enter an Internal Name for the video. This is important as you will have to search for and select the video when adding it to a page, blog post, etc., and the Internal Name will be the best way to find it later.

4. Below the preview, enter a Title (required) and Description (optional) for the video.

• Title - when the video is added to a page or blog post, the title will be visible to viewers.
• Description - this is an optional field that will not be visible to viewers.

5. At the bottom of the page, click to enter both a Thumbnail Image and Poster Image. If you don't add a custom image here, the first frame of the video will be captured as the default.

• If you added images for this (see the Image section above) previously, use the search and select the image. If you haven't, use the Create section, at the bottom right of the image modal, to add the image.
• Thumbnail Image - this image does not display to viewers, but is used internally when searching for and selecting images in the Agent Website Builder.
• Poster Image - this image is visible to viewers. When you add it to a page or blog post, this is what viewers will see in the video space before they click to play.

6. Once you are ready, you have a few options:

• Save as Draft - this will save what you have added for you to edit later, but you will not be able to add it to a page or blog post until it is published.
• Schedule - use the Calendar & Time widget to select the date and time you want the video published.
• Publish - publish the video immediately, which will make it available for use on a page or blog post.

Once saved, you can go back to the Dashboard and continue adding content and editing pages.

Blog Posts

1. Click the Plus Sign, +, next to the content search, at the top of the page, then select Blog Post.

2. First, enter a Headline (required) and Sub-headline (optional).

• Image - add an image to the top of your blog post.
• Gallery - add multiple images, which will appear as a hero image carousel at the top of your blog post.
• Video - add a video to the top of your blog post.

Once saved, you can go back to the Dashboard and continue adding content and editing pages.

Testimonials

This section is focused on your ability to take reviews from other platforms and manually enter them in the MC Website Builder, where you would then be able to add them to your website homepage, in the Testimonials section. That being said, if someone goes to your MC Site, clicks the "More" tab and selects "Leave a Review," they will be able to leave a review for you. These testimonials will be added to the MC Website Builder Content Library with the name they enter set as the Label (Internal Name). You will be able to find these, along with the testimonials you add, when adding to your website homepage, in the Testimonials section. These will not be visible to the public until you review and add them to the homepage.

1. Click the Plus Sign, +, next to the content search, at the top of the page, then select Testimonial.

2. Click in the Star Rating field and select the rating for the testimonial (1-5 stars).

3. In the Testimonial field, enter the text of the testimonial.

4. Next, enter the First Name and Last Name of the person who added the testimonial.

5. In the Client Since field (optional), use the calendar widget to select how long they have been a client of yours.

6. Next, enter the location of the person who entered the testimonial, including the City, State, Zip/Postal Code, and Country.

7. Finally, use the "Recommended?" toggle to select whether this testimonial recommends you to others.

8. Once you are ready, you have a few options:

• Save as Draft - this will save what you have added for you to edit later, and you will be able to add it to your testimonials list at your convenience.
• Schedule - use the Calendar & Time widget to select the date and time you want the testimonial published. Once published, it will appear in your testimonials list, on the homepage of your website, depending on if you have Dynamic Testimonials set up (see the Edit Your Agent Site article > Homepage > Featured Testimonials).
• Publish - publish the testimonial immediately. Once published, it might appear in your testimonials list, on the homepage of your website, depending on if you have Dynamic Testimonials set up (see the Edit Your Agent Site article > Homepage > Featured Testimonials).

Once saved, you can go back to the Dashboard and continue adding content and editing pages.
