wordpress: Do you have full control of your WordPress real estate website? - 10/10/17 08:57 AM

I was reading posts in the Lab Coat Agents Facebook group and came across a discussion about real estate website designers. One company had mentioned their sites were WordPress which is a good thing. So, if I buy their website, and if I was already familiar with WordPress, then I would assume the dashboard would be a typical WP dashboard and I would have full Admin access.

wordpress: Why you do hire website designers who have no IDX Dev experience - 05/03/16 09:16 AM
As an IDX Broker development partner and as the former marketing director for a major real estate web developer, I pay attention to not only the design of Realtor websites but also the IDX integration within the websites themselves.

So let's say you or they … (1 comments)
