Three jobs a normal business site never has
Most agencies are sold a brochure site by a general web shop that has never seen a settlement statement. It looks fine and fails at the three things that matter in this industry.
It handles nonpublic personal information
Buyer intake, seller intake and document upload carry Social Security numbers, bank details and loan payoffs. Under GLBA and ALTA Best Practices Pillar 3 that data has to be encrypted in transit and at rest, access-controlled, and retained on a policy. A contact form that emails an SSN in plain text is a Pillar 3 failure sitting on your own website.
It is a wire-fraud surface
Business email compromise targets closings because that is where the money is. Your site is where a buyer checks whether wiring instructions are real. Verification language, a callback number they can trust, and an unambiguous “we will never email you wiring changes” belong above the fold, not buried in a blog post.
Its audience is your referral sources
Consumers rarely choose the title company. Realtors and loan officers do. So the site is judged on whether a partner can open a file, pull a net sheet and check a fee at eleven at night without calling anybody. That is what earns the next order.
Everything here earns its place because someone uses it
A Realtor, a lender or a consumer actually uses each of these. Anything that does not is decoration.
Order title and open a file
A partner sends you a contract and opens an order from their phone. Every submission comes back as a PDF in your inbox and to your production system.
Secure document upload
Encrypted upload for contracts, payoffs and ID — so nobody is emailing a driver’s license and a bank statement to a Gmail address.
Rate and closing-cost calculators
Title premium, closing costs, doc stamps and recording on your state’s filed or promulgated schedule. The most-used feature on a title site. See the calculators →
Seller net sheet
Listing agents run net sheets constantly. Put one on your site with your logo on the output and your name travels to every listing appointment.
CPL, payoff and commission forms
Closing protection letters, payoff authorizations and commission disbursement requests, online instead of by fax. See all forms →
Wire-fraud guidance
A dedicated verification page, clear callback instructions, and warnings placed where a buyer will actually read them.
County coverage
The counties you close in, said plainly, with a page for each one that matters. This is what local search is built on.
Realtor and lender sections
Separate paths for your two referral audiences — marketing support on one side, turn times and payoff coordination on the other.
Part of the build, not an add-on
Three exposures on a title website are worth naming, because remediating any of them after the fact costs far more than building correctly.
ALTA Best Practices Pillar 3
Pillar 3 covers protection of nonpublic personal information, and your website is squarely inside it. Encrypted intake, controlled access and a documented retention policy are what an underwriter or a lender expects to see when they review you.
ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA
Title and escrow sites have been named in web-accessibility claims, and lenders increasingly ask about accessibility during vendor review. Keyboard navigation, contrast, form labels and alt text cost almost nothing to build in and a great deal to retrofit. More on ADA compliance →
Secure hosting and backups
SSL everywhere, a firewall in front of the site, daily backups, and no wiring instructions published anywhere. Hosting is inside the monthly price, so nobody has to remember to renew it. About our hosting →
About a week from kickoff to live
Kickoff call
Your brand, your counties, your fee schedule, and how you actually win business — usually two or three referral relationships rather than search.
Design
A real design for your agency, not a template with your logo dropped in. You see it before anything is built.
Build and wire up the tools
Calculators set to your state’s schedule, forms routed to the right inboxes, secure upload configured, wire-fraud pages written.
Review and launch
You walk it, we adjust, it goes live. The domain stays in your name throughout.
Ready to look at your current site?
We will walk it with you, show you what we would change and why, and tell you what it costs. If your existing site is fine, we will say so.
Web design for title companies is a different job
Web design for a title company carries obligations a normal business site never does. The site collects nonpublic personal information, which puts it inside your ALTA Best Practices and GLBA obligations. It is an active wire-fraud target, so how it presents wiring instructions is a risk decision, not a design decision. And its real audience is referral partners, not the general public.
That is why we do not start from a template. We start from what the site has to do — take orders, quote rates, move documents securely, and make a Realtor confident enough to send the next file.
Connecting the site to your production software
An order placed on your website should land in the system your team already works in. We cover how that connection works in connecting your website to Qualia, SoftPro or RamQuest.
Title agent web design: what a good title agent website designer gets right
Title agent web design is a narrower craft than general business web design, and most agencies find that out the expensive way. A designer who has never built for a title agent will give you a beautiful brochure site with a contact form and no idea that the page has regulatory obligations attached to it.
A title agent website designer who knows the work builds for four things at once: the Realtor who needs to open an order without calling, the consumer who wants a number before they commit, the underwriter audit that will ask how you protect nonpublic personal information, and the wire-fraud attempt that will eventually target your closing instructions. Design that ignores any one of those is decoration.
That is why we do not sell a design service separately from the tooling. The calculators, the order forms and the secure document path are the design — the visual layer just makes them credible.
Building in a specific state?
Rate rules, taxes and contract forms differ by state, and the calculators have to follow them. Florida · Texas · California · New York · Ohio · Illinois · Georgia · North Carolina · Arizona. See all 50 states → The rate engine covers every one of them.
Built for independent title agencies, not national brands
An independent title agency competes on a different footing from a national brand, and the website has to reflect that. You are not trying to out-advertise Fidelity or First American — you are trying to be the obvious choice in four or five counties where the Realtors already half-know your name.
That is a solvable problem, and it is mostly a website problem. A title insurance agency that shows up in local search, quotes accurately, and lets a Realtor open an order in under a minute wins that comparison against a national brand almost every time, because the national brand cannot be local in your county the way you already are.
Title insurance website development, start to finish
We handle title insurance website design and development end to end — design, build, the rate engine, hosting and ongoing changes — for residential and commercial title agencies and for escrow companies. There is no handoff to a separate developer and no separate development invoice; the monthly price covers the build and the maintenance.
Agencies usually arrive here after searching for a web design company for title companies near me and finding general-purpose local agencies who have never built a rate calculator or handled nonpublic personal information. Proximity is worth very little on this kind of build. What matters is whether the developer has shipped a site that quotes your state’s filed or promulgated rates correctly, and most local shops never have.
If you want to see examples of title company websites before deciding, ask and we will walk you through builds comparable to your market and size — residential, commercial, escrow-side, and attorney-conducted closings all look different, and the right reference is the one that matches how you actually close.
Calculators configured to your state
Every site we build carries calculators set to the client’s own state — promulgated, bureau or filed rates, the transfer taxes on the correct side, the county’s recording fees — branded to the agency and placed in its own layout. These six are the most used; there are fourteen.
Title Insurance Calculator
Owner's & lender's premiums at your state's promulgated, bureau or filed rates.
Open calculator →Closing Cost Calculator
Full buyer/seller breakdown — title, taxes, recording, and settlement fees.
Open calculator →Seller Net Sheet
What the seller walks away with after commission, payoff & closing costs.
Open calculator →Buyer Cash-to-Close
Everything a buyer needs at the table — down payment, prepaids, and closing costs.
Open calculator →Contract Deadline Calculator
Every contract deadline as calendar dates from the effective date — Florida FAR/BAR or your state's form.
Open calculator →Transfer Tax Calculator
State & county transfer taxes and stamps, by location.
Open calculator →Forms that do the back-and-forth for you
Agents, lenders, buyers and sellers submit everything online, and each submission returns to the agency as a completed PDF ready for the file — no email tag, no retyping. Branded to the agency and mobile-friendly. These six are the most used of the eleven we build.
Submit a Contract
Clients upload a signed purchase contract and any addenda — you open the file and start title work right away.
Open form →Buyer Information Sheet
Buyers complete intake online and you receive it as a PDF — or they download it to fill out by hand.
Open form →Seller Information Sheet
Sellers complete intake online and you receive a PDF — or download it to complete on paper.
Open form →Payoff Authorization
Sellers and refinancers e-sign to authorize a payoff request — so net sheets are accurate and prior liens clear at closing.
Open form →Open a Title Order
Agents and lenders open a new file in one step — property, parties, lender, and closing date. No back-and-forth emails.
Open form →Secure Document Upload
Clients upload IDs, payoffs, and sensitive documents through an encrypted portal.
Open form →One flat monthly fee, no contracts

Frequently asked questions
What makes a title company website different from a normal business website?
Three things a generic site never has to handle: it collects nonpublic personal information, so intake has to be encrypted end to end under GLBA and ALTA Best Practices Pillar 3; it is a wire-fraud target, so wiring language and verification steps have to be prominent and unambiguous; and its real audience is Realtors and loan officers, not consumers, so the site has to make ordering title and pulling a net sheet faster than picking up the phone.
Is a title company website subject to ALTA Best Practices?
Pillar 3 covers the protection of nonpublic personal information, and that includes anything your website collects. A contact form that emails a Social Security number or a bank account in plain text is a Pillar 3 failure. Secure upload, encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and a retention policy all belong in the build, not bolted on later.
Does a title company website need to be ADA compliant?
Title and escrow sites have been named in ADA web-accessibility suits, and lenders increasingly ask about it during vendor review. WCAG 2.1 AA is the working standard — keyboard navigation, contrast ratios, form labels, alt text. It is far cheaper to build to it than to remediate after a demand letter.
What should a title company website actually include?
At minimum: online title order and file-open intake, secure document upload, a rate and closing-cost calculator, a seller net sheet, CPL and payoff request forms, wire-fraud verification guidance, your county coverage, and a Realtor and lender section. Everything else is decoration.
How long does a title company website take to build?
About a week for a standard build once we have your logo, your counties and your fee schedule. Rate calculators for a filed or promulgated state take longer only if the state's schedule has to be sourced and verified first.
Do I own the website, or am I renting it?
You own it. The domain stays in your name, the content is yours, and if you ever leave you take the site with you. A title agency should never be in a position where its own web presence is hostage to a vendor relationship.
Will a new website actually bring in more orders?
A website does not generate orders on its own — Realtors and loan officers do. What a good one does is remove friction from the referral: a partner who can open a file, pull a net sheet and check a fee at eleven at night sends you the next file too. That is the mechanism, and it is worth being honest about it.
