How Property Websites Work

How Spatiko property websites work — single-listing sites built from your shoot media, with branded/unbranded links, custom domains, and built-in inquiries.

Last updated

A property website turns the media from a shoot into a single-listing page you can hand straight to the agent — no separate design work, no re-uploading anything. This section covers how a site gets created and published, the links you share it with, and the lead source it quietly builds for you.

One site, built from the order

Each order can have one property website, and you create it yourself with a single click from the order — Spatiko doesn’t spin one up automatically. It starts out unpublished, so you can fill in listing details and check a private preview link before anyone else can see it. See creating a property website for that flow.

The site’s media — photos, floor plans, video, and tours — is pulled live from the order, so you never upload it twice. What you do control is the listing details, the arrangement of sections, and which template it uses. See editing a property website, and the property websites overview for a preview of the templates themselves.

You also choose which photos the listing shows: hide the ones you’d rather leave out, reorder the rest, and pick the cover. Hidden photos stay in the client’s delivery. See choosing which photos show on a property website.

The order's property website, from the editor header — status, preview, and copy-link — down to the published hero the visitor actually sees.

How it goes live

Property websites go live as part of delivery. When you deliver the order, the property website is published automatically, alongside the client’s gallery. You can untick Publish property website at delivery time and publish later from the editor, and you can unpublish a site whenever a listing comes down. A site can’t be published before its order is delivered — until then, use the private preview link to check it.

Every site comes with a branded link — your studio’s name, contact details, and a “Schedule a Showing” form — and an unbranded link with all of that stripped out for places like the MLS that don’t allow third-party branding. See branded and unbranded links for which to use where.

By default both live on a Spatiko web address. Connect a custom domain on a paid plan that includes it, and every property website — plus your delivery galleries, client portal, and booking pages — moves to your own URL instead. It’s one domain for the whole business, not one per listing.

Both links live in the editor's sidebar, ready to copy — and once a custom domain is connected, it replaces the Spatiko address across every property website, delivery gallery, portal, and booking page at once.

Languages, currency, and units

A property website’s built-in labels — section headings like “Gallery” and “Schedule a Showing”, buttons, and the contact form — appear in your business’s default language, so a studio whose default is French gets French listing pages. Visitors don’t get a language switch on the site. Text you write yourself, like the property description or a heading you’ve renamed, shows exactly as you typed it. Prices and property size use the currency and units of the country the property is in. See languages and translations.

A lead machine for your agents

The branded link’s “Schedule a Showing” form turns the site into a lead source for the agent: each inquiry is emailed straight to the listing agent, with any co-agents shown on the page CC’d, and the visitor gets a confirmation. Every message is also saved to the site’s Inquiries tab in your editor, so you can see the buyer interest your work is generating — a concrete result to point at when an agent wonders what the website did for them. See listing inquiries for what the form collects and how the routing works.

Frequently asked questions

Does Spatiko build a property website for every order automatically?

No — you create it yourself with a single click from the order, and each order can have one. The new site starts out unpublished, so you get room to fill in listing details and check a private preview link before anyone else can reach it.

Do I have to upload my photos again to build the site?

No. The site's media — photos, floor plans, video, and tours — is pulled live from the order, so you never upload it twice. What you control is the listing details, which photos show and in what order, the arrangement of sections, and which template the site uses.

Do I have to publish a property website manually?

Usually not — delivering the order publishes the site automatically, alongside the client's gallery. You can untick that at delivery time and publish later from the editor. A site can't go live before its order is delivered, since property websites go live as part of delivery.
