Account Setup

Welcome to the initial phase of setting up your account on the Little Hinges platform! This section is dedicated to establishing the foundation of your profile, ensuring that your virtual property tours are not only professional but also echo the unique branding of your agency. By customizing your account to reflect your agency’s identity, you’ll create a more cohesive and recognizable experience for your clients.

Branding Section

Agency Logo Upload: Begin by uploading your agency’s logo. For the best visual results, we recommend using a transparent .png file. This step is crucial, as your logo represents your brand’s identity and will be prominently displayed in your virtual tours.

Color Customization: Next, you have the freedom to select your agency’s primary and secondary colors. You can do this easily using our intuitive color picker tool. If you have specific brand colors, you can also enter their HEX codes for precise matching. This personalization ensures that the color scheme of your tours aligns with your agency’s branding.

Previewing Your Tour Overlay: After setting up your logo and color scheme, our platform provides a live preview of what your tour overlay will look like. This allows you to see in real-time how your branding elements will integrate with the virtual tour, ensuring everything looks exactly as you want it before going live.

Overlay Customisation

The Overlay Customisation section allows you to tailor the presentation of your Matterport virtual tours, enhancing the user experience and engagement. By customising the overlay, you create a more interactive and informative tour that aligns with your agency’s objectives and branding.

Features for Customization

Highlight Reel Addition: Elevate your virtual tours by adding a highlight reel. This feature showcases key areas of the property in a sleek, easily navigable format. It’s an excellent tool for emphasizing the best features and ensuring potential clients don’t miss any highlights.

360-Degree Dollhouse View with Tags: Enhance the 360-degree dollhouse view by incorporating informative tags. These tags can provide additional details about specific areas or features within the property, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the space.

360-Degree Tags Inside the Tour: Apart from the dollhouse view, you can also include 360-degree tags within the tour itself. These tags can be strategically placed to give more context or information about particular aspects of the property, enriching the overall viewing experience.

Guided Tour with Play Button: Implement a guided walkthrough feature by adding a play button. This allows viewers to experience a curated tour, guiding them through the property in a logical, story-like progression. It’s a fantastic way to engage viewers and provide a structured viewing experience.

Custom Call-to-Action Buttons: Create and integrate custom call-to-action (CTA) buttons within your tour overlay. These buttons can be used to encourage viewers to take specific actions, like contacting your agency, scheduling a visit, or accessing more information about the property. Customisable in both design and function, these buttons are a powerful tool for converting viewers into potential clients.

Analytics & Insights

Our analytics and insights system offers you a deep dive into the digital footprint of your property tours. You can now track:

• Where viewers are inspecting from
• Number of unique, engaged, and repeat visitors
• Identify the most popular rooms in each tour using heatmaps

This system doesn’t just provide data; it offers a comprehensive timeline of your tour’s performance, allowing you to understand and adapt to viewer behaviors and preferences. Additionally, these insights are compiled into detailed reports, which agents can share with their vendors, showcasing the digital success and reach of their properties.
