Real Estate Website Designs

SiteStakes comes with several customizable designs you can apply to your real estate website. Each one changes your site's colors, fonts, button shapes, and card styles. Your content, forms, and lead data stay the same when you switch.

What real estate website designs come with SiteStakes?

SiteStakes websites ship with several real estate website designs you can apply to your site. Each design changes your site's colors, fonts, button shapes, and card styles. Your pages, forms, listings, and lead data stay the same when you switch designs.

You apply designs from the back office. Go to Design → Designs / Styles. The page has two tabs. The Styles tab shows the gallery of all 12 designs. The Customize Colors tab lets you change individual colors, fonts, and effects after you apply a design.

You may hear these called real estate website themes or real estate website templates — Styles is the term SiteStakes uses.

This article covers what the designs look like, how to preview and apply one, and which designs come with your plan.

What do the designs look like?

The gallery shows each design as a tile with its primary and accent colors. The italic line under each name is the design's tagline. The gray line tells you who the design is best for.

Contemporary confidence that converts.

For house buyers and wholesalers who want a professional, trustworthy look without flashy design.

Trust Blue

Authority runs deep.

How do you preview and apply a design?

Every design has a live preview. The preview opens in a new tab and shows your actual site with the new design applied, so you can see how it looks on your real content before committing.

Open the Styles page (Back office → Design → Styles).
On a design, click the Preview button. The preview opens in a new modal.
Click Apply This Style at the top of the preview to switch your live site to the new design.
To try another, close the preview and click a different tile.

You can switch designs as often as you want. Each switch only changes colors, fonts, and component styles. Your pages, forms, listings, and lead data stay the same. To roll back color or font changes you made on top of a design, go to the Customize Colors tab and click Reset to Defaults.

Which designs come with your plan?

Plan access works like this:

Basic plan stays on the default design. You can't switch to a different one.
Grow plan can switch to any basic design. Premium designs stay locked.
Pro plan can switch to any of the designs, basic or premium.

A Premium Styles Add-on unlocks premium designs on a single site without a full plan upgrade. This is useful when only one of your sites needs a premium look.

Locked designs show a lock icon in the gallery. Click one and you see an upgrade prompt that links to pricing. Your Styles page shows which designs are unlocked for your current plan.

Tips for picking a design

Pick a design that matches who you sell to. A cash-buyer site looks different from a luxury agent site.
Check the preview on a phone. Most of your visitors will see your site on mobile, not desktop.
Apply a design and live with it for a week before changing colors or fonts.
Take a screenshot of your current site before switching. The platform doesn't keep a history of past designs.

All the real estate website designs work on the same content and lead data, so picking the best real estate website design for your business is a low-risk decision — you can always switch later.

For deeper customization — colors, fonts, and effects — see Customize your real estate website design. For navigation editing, see Website menu builder.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch designs as often as I want?+

Yes. There's no limit.

Will my forms or listings break if I switch designs?+

No. Switching only changes colors, fonts, and component styles. Your content stays the same.

Can I build my own design from scratch?+

Not as a saved design. You can change colors, fonts, and effects on any of the 12 designs through the Customize Colors tab. The result still starts from one of the 12.

What happens to my customizations if I switch designs?+

Color overrides and font overrides reset to the new design's defaults. Take a screenshot first if you want to keep a reference.

Is the design saved per site or per tenant?+

Per site. Each site you own has its own design selection.
