If you’re looking to launch a dedicated property search engine that is separate from your main corporate website but still seamlessly connected to it, the setup is simple.
Here’s everything you need to know.
How It Works
Think of it as two connected spaces:
- Your corporate website stays exactly where it is (yourcompany.com). It’s your brand’s main home online.
- Your listings site lives on its own address, called a subdomain. For example, listings.yourcompany.com. This creates a dedicated experience for property search, including filters, map views, search results, and individual property pages, without competing for space with your corporate website content.
Your corporate website links directly to the listings site, so visitors can move between the two with a single click.
Because the listings site carries your branding, navigation, and header design, the experience feels seamless to visitors rather than like two separate websites.
What’s a Subdomain?
A subdomain is simply an address that sits in front of your main domain.
If your website is yourcompany.com, your listings site could use a subdomain such as:
It’s still part of your company’s web address, but it points visitors to a dedicated destination built specifically for your property listings.
What We Need From You
Getting started only requires two things on your end:
- Choose your subdomain name.
Pick whichever feels most natural for your brand, such as “listings,” “properties,” “search,” or something else entirely. - Update your DNS settings.
This tells the internet where your new subdomain should point, in this case, to SharpLaunch. It’s a quick change made through your domain or DNS provider, such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or another provider.
Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with DNS settings. We’ll provide a simple, step-by-step guide with the exact information you need.
What We Take Care Of
Once you’ve chosen your subdomain and the DNS is pointed our way, we handle the rest:
- Build your listings site on the new subdomain, fully populated with your properties and property search functionality.
- Match your branding and navigation to your corporate website so the two experiences feel connected.
- Connect the two sites so visitors can move seamlessly from your corporate website to your property listings.
- Maintain the property search experience within SharpLaunch, so your listings, availability, and property information remain centralized and easy to manage.
The End Result
You get a polished, dedicated property search engine hosted on your own branded subdomain and seamlessly connected to your existing corporate website.
Your part is simple:
- Choose your preferred subdomain.
