This week I posted I had a big transition I was going through and gee that seemed to get a lot of attention. I felt bad because I thought, "oh no they are thinking it is going to be something WOW."(or something personal)

I mentioned in the post that once you get through the getting through the getting through it is worth it. It was a hard decision one I had stuggeled with for 3 years but I knew in my gut it was the right thing to do.

Back over a year ago I had my Ann Arbor Real Estate Blog built my Dakno Marketing and have been really happy with the results so I had contracted with them to build my new web-site.

Since I began blogging on Activerain in December of 2006 I had worked really, really hard to get my old web-site with my old domain up in the Search Engines. There was a lot of junk in the source code that I was not aware of until learning about things like that here. I didn't want to let go of all the work to get good SERPS and then just abandon it.

Now the name of my site is MissyCaulk.com.

Looking back, I would never have chosen my name but that was 1999 when that was the thing to do. So I had to stick with it or start completely over.

That is when I looked at Dakno to build my new site with my seasoned domain name...MissyCaulk.com

Brad Carroll and Bobby Carroll suggested keeping the same theme and look of my blog.

I ONLY wanted three main modules on it because I think consumers are really looking for houses, market reports and local information about where they are going to relocate.

The Market Reports link to all of my Altos Reports for Ann Arbor and Saline.

There are several really cool features I am excited about and one of them is the interactive maps where I can link to all the neighborhoods in Ann Arbor and Saline.

That is proving to be a time consuming as I research and add content about each neighborhood with photos of the different styles of homes found in each neighborhood.

There is also an interactive map for all of my listings, where they can schedule an appointment, find out more details or request more information and add in my Real Estate Shows. 

Another feature I as super excited about is that I can build my own content and pages. I was not able to do that on my own static site and had to wait for the web master to make any changes.

Now I can just go in and build a page for Buyer and Sellers and add content. This is where I am been linking to some of my older but still local information posts from Activerain.

For example the History of Ann Arbor and the History of Saline, and Information on Schools.

The back end of the system is called Agent Back Door and this is the power of the site.

From here I can add my Team members, assign leads, add content, neighborhoods, pages, add new listings, manage or change my responses, add testimonials and condo information.

So now do you know why I said: "get through the getting through the getting through it is worth it."

I have barely scratched the surface of what I will add to this new website.

Thankfully the support with Dakno.TV the tutorials on Agent Back Door are incredible. Finally, when I mess up on a weekend by adding the wrong Google Analytics code, Bobby and Brad jump right in and get my site back up and running.

Yea, I really did it deleted the whole thing after 18 hours of working on it.

One big benefit of Twittering with the Dakno boys.

So what do you think?
