Building a Better Mousetrap (Website)

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax

Hey Active Rain Bloggers,

I am very dissatisfied with my current website, and looking at some other agents sites I find very few that grab my attention.  Some are not very user friendly, and some are just plain boring. So this is a call for help.  I am wondering who out there knows someone who can build a decent agent website without costing me thousands.  If you are proud of your website I would love to hear what you like best about it, and would also like to see it.  Thanks for your help.

I know Win Singleton, Associate Broker & Web Designer makes great sites that consistently rank high in the search engines.  I think his prices are pretty reasonable.   There is little point to a cool looking site if it can't be found on the web.

Maureen, you are correct. Being seen and having people call you is the point. I am also looking at famous agents sites as well. it is a bolg and a site. Just google famous agents, being cheap on sies will not get you business. Invest in your future.

I second the suggestion and recommendation for Win Singleton.  He knows what he's doing and has been doing them since 1995.

If I didn't do my own web sites, he'd be doing mine.

I think that you need to give things away for free.  Build a site that matches what your niche is.  I am working on mine now.  Well my friend is. 

I have seen some just look busy, and other look messy.  I want simple, and easy to use.  I want a site that I get the peoples information.  I will make one.  Yea right.  Well my friend will.

you know I swear by the girl that designed my site.  All the look of a custom site with the ability to change my site as I see fit.

As Eric says, invest in your future
