When it comes to something like real estate web design, the whole concept can seem daunting and a bit complex. It is true that learning the foundations of real estate web design involves a considerable amount of knowledge but in a certain sense, real estate web design uses a similar approach to that of an artist painting on a canvas. Here are a few things to know about real estate web design if you’re planning on building your first website.

Just like a painting canvas has a certain length and width, real estate web design is also constrained by certain measurements, in this case the amount of viewable space on the web browser the person is using in order to view any particular real estate web design and/or website. This amount of space is also determined by the monitor resolution the person may be using which for most is 1024x768 so your real estate web design should allow the layout to appear properly within your 1028x768 “canvas”.

Strongly consider getting a second opinion when using images and photos in your real estate web design. Your goal here is to find a “harmonious balance” in your real estate web design which effectively uses a mixture of images along with text that makes your real estate web design look cohesive and not like everything was jumbled together.

After you have settled on the size and the amount of images to be used in your real estate web design, decide on the text. Unless your real estate web design is going to consist of a real estate blog or a real estate news website, keep the text concise. Most readers have a short attention span and will leave your website regardless of how nice the actual real estate website design is if it’s stuffed with lengthy text.
