How would you like to create a real estate website from scratch in just one hour?
You know you need your own website (as in a website separate from your Broker’s site!) to generate more leads, grow your real estate business, and maybe even create a totally separate stream of income.
But building your own website isn’t easy. You probably don’t:
- have much tech or programming experience
- want to spend countless hours researching different web hosts, content management systems, and design themes
- have time to learn the ins and outs of web design
- want to pay someone else to set it up for you if you can DIY
- have time to wade through the thousands of websites offering advice on how to create a website
- want to pay a fortune for a domain, web hosting, and web design
These hurdles are the reason website developers can charge thousands of dollars for a simple website. Building your own website is terribly overwhelming.
I get it! When I created my first website, I had no programming experience. In fact, my husband (lovingly?) calls me “tech-challenged”. Sadly, I can’t really argue with him on that.
At first I was relieved to find that there are many user-friendly solutions for the tech-challenged. Things like pre-designed web page layouts. And “plugins” to make your website do cool stuff like track the traffic coming to your site, insert forms to collect email addresses from your readers, and even sell ad space on your site.
But that relief was soon replaced with dread as I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of these solutions and the amount of information available online.
I wasted countless hours navigating the “easy” website creation instructions. It took me five days to go from purchasing my domain name to actually having a bare-bones site.
I don’t want you to have that same experience.
That’s why I’ve created The One Hour Real Estate Website.
The One Hour Real Estate Website will show you exactly how to build a real estate website from scratch in just one hour.

FAQs
If you have a question that isn’t addressed in these FAQ’s, please email me at Michelle@realestatesidehustles.com, and I’ll be glad to answer your question directly.
What if I Have Zero Website Management or Programming Experience?
No experience needed. As a non-programmer, I couldn’t talk tech jargon if I wanted to. Instead, I’ll use plain English and screenshots to help you find your way around.
How Much Should I Expect to Pay for a Complete, Professional Website?
A complete, professional website without all the optional add-ons will cost less than $10/month. And most of those options aren’t at all necessary, especially when you’re new to the web game. As your traffic grows, you may want to upgrade but in the early stages, your costs will be minimal. Even if you decide to upgrade you’ll find the cost of website management reasonable. A Pro Package will all the optional upgrades is still under $50/month.
The package of providers I recommend is:
Web hosting through Bluehost: $7.99/month max. But by using Real Estate Side Hustles’ links to purchase your web hosting, you’ll get a discount, especially if you sign up for a 36-month term (your service through this link may be under $4/month!). Just understand that you’ll pay for your entire term up front. You’ll pay once for 12, 24, or 36 months of hosting.
A design theme from WP Residence: $59. This is a one-time fee that covers your use of the design forever.
Content Management through WordPress: FREE!
A domain name through Bluehost: FREE for the first year! $15.99/year after if you continue to use Bluehost for your domain name.
Why Do You Recommend These Providers?
I recommend these providers because I use their services for my websites, and I’ve been very happy with the results.
I have tried other providers for domain names, web-hosting, and content management in the past, but I’ve converted all three of the websites I currently manage to the providers recommended in The One Hour Real Estate Website because they offer the best quality product and service at the best prices.
When my Dad asked for help last year, these were the providers I recommended. And I fully intend to use those same providers for my next website.
Why I use and recommend Bluehost for the domain name and web-hosting
Bluehost securely hosts your website for an exceptionally low fee.
- Affordability. The monthly cost of service could be less than a fancy coffee.
- Ease of use. I am tech-challenged, and I was able to figure it out. I can’t say the same for the other web hosting providers I’ve tried.
- One-click WordPress Installation. You’ll want WordPress to manage all the content on your site, and Bluehost makes it really easy to install.
- A free domain name for a year. If your web hosting is like your lot, your domain name is your situs address. It tells people how to find your site.
- Exceptional customer service. You can actually get a human on the phone if you need them.
Why I use and recommend WP Residence for the design theme
I’ve searched literally hundreds of design themes, and WP Residence is the only one I can fully recommend for real estate professionals. Here’s why:
- Flexibility. 1,000 agents can all have the WP Residence design theme, and all thousand sites can look completely different. The theme looks great as-is (out-of-the-box so to speak), or you can adjust the many, many settings until you have a completely customized website. To show how versatile this theme is, I’m currently using the WP Residence design theme for RealEstateSideHustles.com.
- Track record. WP Residence has nearly 11,000 downloads and 1,000 ratings, with a 4.76 star average. This theme has been tried and tested. All the kinks have long been worked out.
- Affordability. This is one of the most robust themes I’ve found, but you can buy the license to use it forever for just a one-time fee of $59.
- Features and functionality. I said the theme is robust, and I meant it. You can do so much with this site, including advanced property searches, floor plans, user log-ins, and even payment collection systems. As a newbie, this will have way more features than you need, but as your practice grows, you’ll be glad these options are ready and waiting for you.
- Responsiveness. WP Residence won’t take forever to load, and it will look great no matter what device your clients and prospects use to view your site.
Why I use and recommend WordPress for content management
WordPress is reliable, it’s the industry standard, and it’s free! Content management is almost a no-brainer. If you want professional-grade content management, you’ll go with WordPress.
Will it be Easy to Build My Site?
Um, no. No, it won’t. I’ll do everything I can to make it as easy as possible with The One Hour Real Estate Website, but building a new website can be tricky.
You have to rely on technology and programming code created by other people. And they may not always work seamlessly.
I was able to run through the exact steps presented in this guide in 53 minutes without any trouble. But I can’t promise you’ll be able to do the same with your computer, your web browser, and your personal settings.
Luckily, the providers I recommend have exceptional customer service and are happy to help you through any technical issues. And I’m happy to assist if you run into any roadblocks and really need some direction.

Is The One Hour Real Estate Website Comprehensive?
For getting a complete website up and running in an hour? Yes.
For optimizing the website for your branding and monetization? No.
Your One Hour Website will be fully functional and cover all the basics of what your audience would expect to see from a professional website. But you will likely want to spend a more time customizing the site (images, verbiage, color palette, etc) to make it stand out from the crowd. That will take longer than one hour.
The good news is all of that can be adjusted at any time once you’re up and running. I’ll even provide Bonus #3: a post-launch to-do list of ways to easily add more personality and customization to your site until it perfectly represents you and your brand. That way you can have some guidance working through these steps when you’re ready.
In the meantime, you can rest assured that your One Hour Website is making a professional impression on your clients and prospects.
