About
About GetAuctionWebsite
GetAuctionWebsite builds, hosts and manages websites for auction houses across the United States: estate and moving sale companies, farm and equipment houses, antique and fine art houses, benefit organizers, surplus sellers and liquidators. One monthly fee, and the build fee charged only after the site is live and approved.
01 How we work
Four things that do not change from client to client
One onboarding call
We fill any gaps in your form and agree the launch date together.
A build measured in days
Live in 7 to 15 days depending on plan, not weeks.
Weekly updates after launch
5 revisions a month, turned around within 2 to 5 working days.
Content on a schedule
Researched articles published every week, not written once and forgotten.
Five things
we will not
trade away
02 What we value
What do we stand for?
- 01Plain terms, publishedEvery price and term is on the pricing page. The $697 build fee waits until you approve the site. No fourth tier, no hourly billing.
- 02Speed is built firstA bidder on a phone in a barn is the test. Every page we host is held to 90+ PageSpeed.
- 03Answer firstEvery page answers its question in the first sentence, for bidders, for search engines and for AI assistants.
- 04Your sale is yoursWe never pose as the auctioneer, and never give bidding, licensing or valuation advice. We make your terms clear; we do not write them.
- 05Nothing held hostageYour domain is in your name, and your content comes back to you within 14 days if you leave.
03 Working with us
What can you expect from us?
- 01A reply from a personEmails are answered within one working day by someone who read your message.
- 02Business hours you can plan aroundWe work 9:00 to 17:00 Central Time, Monday to Friday, excluding United States public holidays.
- 03Every request trackedRevisions, support tickets and files go through your client portal, so nothing is lost in an inbox.
- 04Changes on a clockEach revision is completed within 2 to 5 working days of receiving what we need.
- 05Straight answers on limitsIf something is outside what the plan covers, we say so before you rely on it.
04 Where we build
Where do we work?
Yes. We build and manage sites for auction houses in all 50 states, remotely, from onboarding call to launch. Your site is built around the towns and counties YOU hold sales in, with a page for each area worth ranking in.
- TXTexas Ranch, farm and heavy equipment sales across many counties, often with out-of-state bidders.
- FLFlorida Estate and moving sales on a near-weekly rhythm, with many buyers checking listings from a phone.
- CACalifornia Estate, antique and fine art houses where a single significant lot needs its own page.
- OHOhio Farm, equipment and household auctions run by family firms serving several counties.
- PAPennsylvania Farm, antique and estate sales where the sale bill still travels by word of mouth.
- GAGeorgia Equipment, real property and estate auctions spread across rural and metro counties.
States named as examples of where these sale types are common, not a list of clients. We build for houses in every state.
05 Plainly
What we are not
We are not a licensed auctioneer, auction house, appraiser or bonding provider. We build and run the website. We do not run your bidding, set your terms, transfer title, or give bidding, licensing, bonding or valuation advice. Everything your business and its license cover stays entirely with you.
Written in,
not bolted
on later
06 Compliance pages
Which compliance pages do we build for clients?
All of these, on every plan. They help you meet the obligations most US auction houses have online and are built with the relevant rules in mind. They are not legal advice and do not guarantee compliance, so have your own adviser approve anything that carries legal weight for your house.
- 01Privacy policyWhat your forms collect, why, where it goes and how a visitor asks for it to be deleted, written with US state privacy laws in mind.
- 02Website terms of useThe rules for using your website itself, kept separate from the terms of any sale.
- 03Cookie policy and real consentA consent banner that genuinely holds back analytics and marketing scripts until the visitor agrees, and a policy listing what the site sets.
- 04Accessibility statementA WCAG-minded build (keyboard navigation, labelled forms, colour contrast) and a statement of how to report a problem, built with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the WCAG 2.2 guidelines in mind.
- 05Terms of sale pageYour buyer's premium, payment, deposit, removal and pickup rules on one clear page, linked from every catalog and registration page, written from the terms you supply.
- 06Text message consent wordingOn Block and Rostrum, forms that collect a mobile number carry TCPA-style consent wording on any form that collects a mobile number for text messages, and we file A2P 10DLC carrier registration for business text messaging for you.
You stay responsible for the licensing, advertising and sale rules that apply to your own auctions in your state. We publish your terms; we do not draft them.
07 Who writes the articles
The editorial personas behind the blog

09 Client reviews
What clients describe
We expected a prettier website; what we actually use every day is the new form. It collects sale reference, lot number and collection question up front, so the back-and-forth we used to do by reply has largely gone. The first message is usually enough to act on now.
Sophia FarnhamSales administrator, country house and chattels auction team, Salem, ORInquiry form and response workflow for auction collection guidance My first check was simple: open the auction collection guidance page on a mobile and try to get in touch. Everything a visitor needs is up top, and the inquiry button stands out properly. The days of talking customers through the menu are over.
Latifa SaeedAuction administrator, antiques and collectibles auction house, St. Petersburg, FLMobile navigation and page layout for auction collection guidance They built the FAQ from our actual auction collection guidance correspondence. They identified which questions belonged on the site and we checked every answer before launch. I now share a link instead of digging through the outbox.

Questions about GetAuctionWebsite
Who is behind GetAuctionWebsite?
GetAuctionWebsite is a website design and management service for auction houses, run by the team that builds, hosts and updates every site on the plan. We work remotely with houses across the United States, and every client is served by the same people from demo to launch to weekly updates.
Is GetAuctionWebsite an auction company?
No. We are not a licensed auctioneer, auction house, appraiser or bonding provider. We build and run the website that publishes your sales, explains your process and takes enquiries; the auction itself, your terms and your license stay entirely with you.
Where are you based, and which states do you serve?
We serve auction houses in all 50 states, remotely. Our business hours are 9:00 to 17:00 Central Time, Monday to Friday, excluding United States public holidays, and our terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
Who writes the articles on client sites?
Our editorial team researches and writes them, with every figure cited to its source. The two bylines on this site are editorial personas; neither is a licensed auctioneer and nothing they write is bidding or valuation advice.
Why only auction houses?
Because the site an auction house needs is shaped by the sale calendar and the catalog, which change every week. Building for one kind of business means the calendar, catalog, registration and consignment pages are already right before we start on yours.
How do I reach a person?
Email us and a person replies within one working day, or book a 30-minute demo. Existing clients use the client portal for revisions and support tickets.
Where do the photos on this site come from?
The photographs of sale floors, equipment and lots are licensed stock from Pexels, credited at the foot of this page. The infographics and the Tamtam mascot art were generated for this site and show no real client, place or person. Reviewers are shown by their initials only, never with a photo.
Can I see who else you work with?
Yes. The reviews on this site are from real clients, named with their permission, and the case studies page walks through twenty real projects from start to finish. Each client business is described by type and town rather than by name. On a demo we walk through a live build for your sale type.
