Why We Use Wordpress
Wordpress is an open source, hosted blogging software package that powers millions of blogs across the internet — including the sites on PropertyTown.org. It’s highly extensible, reliable, and with a few modifications, capable of serving large amounts of traffic.
By building our platform on the Wordpress core, we’ve built standard blogging services like pinging, trackbacks, and content management into your site. We’ve also opened your site up to using the multitude of functionality plugins available to standard Wordpress installations. That means if you want a feature on your site, and you can find the plugin, then we can make it happen.
Unlike proprietary systems, basing our system on the Wordpress core utilizes the security already provided by Wordpress’ parent development company Automattic, and the open source community.
Already running Wordpress?
If you already have a site running on Wordpress, contact us for discounted rates on moving your site to our system. PropertyTown offers integrated listings and content management that you’ve not experienced on your standard Wordpress installation.
Areas of Expertise
PropertyTown Features
Integrated Blogging - Your blog and sales site are combined in a way that doesn’t exist elsewhere. Stop spending your time publishing quality content on someone else’s site. Consolidate your efforts and leverage the power of blogging and RSS in a way that will help you develop trust and authority by attracting quality organic deep links.
Flexible Content Management System (CMS) - The PropertyTown system is much more than a blogging platform. It’s a feature-rich CMS that allows you to build a site that looks and acts any way you want. After designing your initial theme, you will have plenty of opportunity to customize the look and feel of your website from the admin panel. A drag and drop interface makes changing the layout of your site simple. Built in breadcrumb navigation and pre-configured modules make it possible to create a content rich, easy-to-navigate site structure in just a few minutes.
Streamlined Interface & Tool Tips - If youve been confused by admin panels in the past, you’ll be happy to find PropertyTowns streamlined interface and ubiquitous pop-up tool tips.; If you dont understand something, simply mouse over the embedded question marks and get a detailed explanation.
SEO Optimized Architecture - At the hands of SEO guru Greg Boser, all features on the PropertyTown system have been engineered with SEO in mind from the very start. We provide you with unprecedented control over things like:
- HTML Title & Meta Data
- Page Headers & Internal Anchor Text
- Sitemaps & RSS Feed Integration/Distribution
- Robots.txt, NoFollow Attributes, & Redirection
- URL/Directory Structure
Custom Property Listings - List your properties in a new and unique way optimized to attract search engine bots.; Take complete control of what specific features are displayed, how they are sorted, and where on the page they appear. Easily integrate lead intake forms, mapping/driving directions, and mortgage cost calculations.
Lead Management - Take full control over communications with your clients from one screen.; Send email to prospective buyers and sellers, record an action history, and give your clients access to a private log that will show them whats happening with their property.
Custom Intake Forms - Use our easy to use form builder to create custom submission forms for display on any page on your site. Or enter your own custom form HTML.; Either way, these form submissions are emailed to you and automatically stored in your Lead Management System.
Conversion Tracking - Combine the power of Google Analytics with the ability to generate as many unique Thank You pages as you want to accurately track and identify the referral sources that are actually responsible for generating your leads.
Email Configuration - Easily add, edit or remove email accounts for your domain directly from the PropertyTown Admin panel.
Greater Level of Anonymity - Enjoy the many benefits associated with hosting on a managed platform while at the same time reducing your risk of getting unfairly penalized by search engines because of "Guilt by Association". We provide all our clients with their own unique IP and nameservers, and we NEVER require you to place any type of "Powered By" or "Designed By" links on your site. The degree to which you let the outside world know that you are a member of the PropertyTown community is completely up to you.
PropertyTown Forum - Learn new online marketing strategies in the private setting of our community forum. Our staff will lead you far beyond the traditional link swapping strategies that have caused so many problems in the real estate space. Optimal site architecture, proper ROI tracking, and leveraging the power of social media are just a few of the areas you will become proficient in.
PropertyTown Referral Program - Our referral program is much more than the traditional one month free hosting programs offered by other real estate web hosting companies.; We understand the importance of minimizing costs in a slow market. Thats why we developed a two-tier referral program that gives our community members the ability to earn recurring revenue for the lifetime of all referrals.
Testimonials
"The Property Town website platform is cutting edge, user friendly, and one of the best platforms available for real estate agents on the market today. Not only are the websites completely unique, customizable, and search engine friendly, the support staff provides excellent customer service and excels in internet marketing strategies. Any agent who wants to stay ahead of their competition by obtaining a dominant presence on the the web should look no further than Property Town."
-Roxanne, New Jersey
"One of the reasons it was easy for me to sell SanDiegoHomes with its dominate rankings was because I knew I could duplicate it with another site. I knew it could take me a year under normal circumstances, but with Greg I figured I would do it in half the time.
Well, I was wrong. We did it in 1/4 of the time. Three months and it was #3 for "San Diego real estate", which is where SanDiegoHomes was when I sold it, and last week, 4 months to the day, it went to #1."
-Bob, San Diego
"I had never used WordPress before. But, this version is easy. This multi-user, optimized platform is intuitive in its back end navigation and really easy to use. Yet, it overcame the issues I had with my old template site. Page extensions are expressed in plain English. The Navigation structure is user friendly. Themes are totally individual and unique. IDX and I-frames are fully supported. Featured listings is a great looking, simple format. The system supports video and unlimited photos.
Best of all, the blog is integrated into the website. The blog produces constantly changing content. Static pages and blog posts can interconnect for added usability and ultimately search engine results. RSS feeds are included too."
-Larry, Denver
"Search engine visibility of the site has improved tremendously over the past two months for my main keywords. The morning of August 11th, I had in summary fashion – 15 1st page placements, 11 2nd page placements, and zero 3rd page placements. As of writing this note – 24 1st page placements, 12 2nd page placements, and 4 3rd page placements. In my opinion these results should improve as I make recommended improvements to my site.
Lastly, but very important is the increase in new prospects that I have to work with as a result of the visitor increase. Considering the state of the real estate market, this is wonderful. I should be able to assess the conversion of prospects into closed sales as time progresses.
I look forward to the future enhancements, benefits, and recommendations from PropertyTown in the near future."
