Which is better? A Top Producer or Go Daddy website?

I went with a independent local person, so if I had issues I can ring his doorbell. My first website was with a huge company, they said they were the 2nd largest in the world. Took almost a year, and 6 different techs, (as they would quit or get fired) to get my website finished.

Also you want to make sure they give you some type of content management system so you can add / delete properties/listings as you want, or you have to put in a work order days or weeks in advance, plus pay whatever their  hourly rate is for their time.

Good Luck, hope this helps.

Todd, I went through a similar decision process. The challenge with GoDaddy is you will have to do a lot of the work yourself and in this business we don't have time to reinvent the wheel. I then purchased and Advanced Access website and was disappointed with the result and the service. I cancelled Advanced Access and now have a Top Producer site. As you consider establishing a website you need to consider the value of support and Top Producer support is stellar. They have excellent staff and were able to customize my site in several areas. The creation of pages is very easy and they have given excellent advice with regard to search engine optimization and the submission of my site to the search engines. I have to called them multiple times and each time I get a very patient and helpful person.  I highly recommend the Top Producer product.

Hello Todd,

     I have bought several domain names from GoDaddy, I did not want to go through the building process and opted to go with Point2.  This is a template site and easy to set up.  Another site with Navica is also inexpensive and includes IDX.  Free sites at Bing and Google are simple one or two pages and re-direct to my IDX site.  If I change in the future it will be to REW.   Good Luck!

I have on in godaddy.  You can check it out at www.maunalaniterracerental.com.  It is pretty basic, but only took me about a hour to put together.  The SEO capabilities are pretty basic, but good enough if you are not planning on putting toget a huge SEO campaign.

 Real Estate Webmasters, best SEO sites that I have run into.  Pricey but good.
