real estate websites: Pingdom: Take a Snapshot of Your Real Estate Website Performance
- 09/24/11 10:51 AM
Been to Pingdom lately? Yes, Pindgom, not the Magic Kingdom. it is another one of those nifty little tools we all need in our real estate website toolbag - because you can use it to catch performance problems and nip them in the bud. Take a quick second and open that site in another tab of your browser, then go to the "Tools" section and run a performance test on your real estate website.

real estate websites: Your Real Estate WordPress Blog: In a Perfect World

So I'm wondering: do most of you DIY for your own websites, hire it out locally, or do you have sites from "big" real estate web site companies like Top Producer or a la mode?
