Estate agent websites with the homes first
We design, build and look after websites for independent estate agents. An agent's website is a shop window, and a cluttered one costs instructions. We built J Lord & Co's site with the properties first and everything else quiet, large photography, restrained type and a valuation route never more than a click away, and we host and manage it so the agency's time goes on selling homes.
In plain English
What we can do for your agency
An estate agent’s website is a shop window. It has to present homes the way a good agent shows them, with care and no clutter, and make it easy for a vendor to ask for a valuation. Marbl Codes designs, builds and looks after websites for independent estate agents who want their site to feel like their agency, not a portal.
What we did for J Lord & Co
J Lord & Co are independent estate agents with two decades in the Cheshire property market. They wanted a site as considered as the homes they represent.
We built it with the properties first and everything else quiet: large photography, restrained type, and a valuation route that is never more than a click away. We host and manage it, and the changes a property market makes to a site through the year, such as new instructions and valuations to promote, are ours to make.
How that helps win instructions
Because vendors judge an agent by how their current listings look. A cluttered page with banners and pop-ups suggests their home will be marketed the same way. A calm, well-photographed page suggests care. For an independent agent competing with larger chains, that first impression is often the whole difference.
How it helps vendors find you
They search for agents in their area, read reviews, and increasingly ask AI assistants for recommendations. A fast site with clear location information, genuine reviews and consistent business details helps on every one of those routes.
How we can do the same for you
With a conversation about your agency, your area and how you win instructions today. From there we write a short plan and a price, before anything is designed or built.

Questions people ask us
Straight answers
Your properties presented properly, a valuation request that is never more than a click away, a clear sense of who you are and how you work, reviews from vendors and buyers, and your contact details on every page. Independent agents win on trust, so the site should feel like the agency.
Usually, yes. Most property software can publish listings to your own site. The details depend on the system you use, so we check it before quoting.
Portals show your stock alongside everyone else's. Your own website is where vendors decide whether to trust you with their home, and where your valuation enquiries come from. It is the part of your marketing you fully own.
We do. Hosting, updates, speed and the changes the property market brings, month to month, so the agency's time goes on selling homes.
