How to create a widget - HomeViews Business Hub

A4 Posters and A5 Leaflets

To create a widget, log in to the Partner Portal and go to the ‘Widget’ tab on the left hand side. Firstly, pick the type of widget you want:

Overall: Display live ratings of your overall scores for an individual development
Reviews Summary: Display live ratings and include selected review snippets to showcase your resident insights
Start a Review: Use this widget to help capture more resident reviews and help promote your developments
Company: Display live ratings of your overall score across your portfolio of developments

Select ‘Create widget’ in the top right corner to go to the next page. Select the development you want to create a widget for in the drop down menu (this option will be greyed out if you’re creating a Company widget), and enter the destination URL. If you want to display a widget on multiple URL sites, you will need to create a separate widget for each one.

Note: if you enter a different UTM whilst generating the widget to the UTM of the page you want the widget to show on, the widget will show a widget not authorised error message.

Choose whether you want a sidebar widget or a full-width widget. You can click ‘Preview widget’ to see what the widget will look like. When you’re happy with the selection, click ‘Generate widget’ in the top right corner.

Copy the code that is generated on the next page into your website code, and your widget will appear on your website with live results from HomeViews.

HomeViews is the only independent review platform for residential developments in the UK. Prospective buyers and tenants use it to make an informed decision on where to live based on insights from carefully verified resident reviews. Part of Rightmove since February 2024, we’re working with developers, house builders, operators, housing associations and the Government to give residents a voice, recognise high performers and to help improve standards across the industry.

We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the development and building management.
