Real Estate Web Design is What We Do"Your web site should be a revenue generating asset to your business."Most real estate web design companies can lose track of that most important factor by treating their website production like an assembly line, their customers as a head count and only providing a basic "brochure" web site where you do all the work. The McCreith Team realized their websites need to be more than just a brochure; they need a tool that will make them more productive and help generate more sales.You'll find that one of the major reasons that real estate professionals hire us is due to the way our web sites impact their bottom line. The benefits are two-fold: You'll get new ways to optimize your business and sales process by streamlining your lead collection and qualification. You'll generate more leads and retain more web site visitors' interest by providing easy ways for your visitors to use your site for all of their real estate needs. The results are client proven."You can prepare yourself for success in an area where a large number of Realtors® tend to fail." Creating a real estate website that generates results is a difficult undertaking that starts with a "master blueprint" and ends up with a content-rich site that both captures and converts site visitors into sales. This guide exposes the challenges, reveals common pitfalls and examines the path you can take on your road to success. Review the challenges below on the way to implementing a successful real estate Web solution.Will your website free up your time or create more work for you?The real determining factor is almost never the "template" or design portion of a site. It is what your site does for you that you no longer have to do. To further explain, a comparative analogy of how we're different than most our assumed competition. Let's say you want to buy 10,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space to store your products and ship them out. You are presented with two choices:1.) Buy a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse that contains your shelving, includes a delivery system to keep your inventory organized and up-to-date, stocks your shelves, sorts and organizes your customers' orders and automatically delivers them information about new products when they become available. It also allows your customers to search your inventory in the way you define.2.) Buy a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse that contains your needed shelving. You do the rest of the work.The first example relates to how our solutions work for you. The second relates to most real estate web design providers. iDream Media Group produces the most thorough combination of user experience, site management, tracking and contact management tools which appeal to multi-agent/multi-branch offices and top notch agents alike. Do you know how to avoid the common pitfalls of real estate web design?Common PitfallsiDream Media Group SolutionsResultsYou're losing business because your property detail pages have someone else's contact information on them. (Common with "framed" IDX sites).Our sites allow you to control what information is displayed on your pages. You can specify how your property pages will be formatted, sorted, paginated, and displayed.Any lead coming to your site is going to be your lead. And since it's all on your site, you can know exactly how visitors are using your site.You're losing web site traffic because your property listings are not indexable by the search engines or on your domain name. (Common with "framed" solutions)Search engines see lots of listings on *your site*, not www.your_mlsidx_provider.com. Once we have control over the listing data this allows the search engines to associate every listing on your site to your site.Your site looks more active, bigger, more important and fresher to the search engines making it more relevant and ranking higher.Great looking site, but you have no idea how anybody is using it or what those detailed traffic reports mean.Our Site reports tell you what people are looking at on your site, how long they were there, and what they looked at so you can decide which are the best prospects for a sale.Your agents and/or yourself can work faster and more efficiently.The server your web site was hosted on crashed, now all of your site and lead data is gone. But they said they had a backup?Our self-healing servers and remote backup facilities protect your data and your livelihood.You stay in business for the long term.You started your real estate web site with no marketing plan. Now you have a great site but no traffic.We can get you started in the right direction to make your site successful.Your web site pays for itself.You're losing visitors because your property search is difficult to useOur sites do not limit you to a set search method. You have the flexibility of making the search operate the way you and more importantly, your site's visitors, want.People who visit your site find the information they need.Will your website let you focus on selling real estate? Your real estate web site needs its own resources to operate properly. One of those resources we call "hosting". For those of you not familiar with the term, it can be narrowed down to "who, what, where and how?": Who runs the actual computer that your web site is on? What type of equipment do they use? Where is it located? And how does it let me focus on selling real estate? When you host with iDream Media Group, we use the latest business level equipment to run your web site at our data center. We put in place specific technical features to service our business level clients that you will not find at bargain hosting companies.
