I am currently building a real estate website. I am curious to see what others view as "must have" on a site. Also, what is the best website you have been to (real estate or other)? Do you think Flash is useful or distracting? Finally, what is the best way to increase traffic to your site? Thanks for the input.

Josh! Good for you I am hoping to be able to build my own by the end of 2008 I am currently with Ihouse and they are good hosting site I have been very happy. www.katiebythesea.com I know enough to change things around but I want to get into all the glitter! Good Luck. I don't like Flash (just my opinion).

Happy Holidays!

A good mix of all of the above is what we're seeing people migrating to. For example, build you site on a blog platform then add a flash header with nice photos, IDX, some static pages and widgets. We call this a hybrid approach...

IDX is an absolute necessity. I can't stand flash. When I go to a website, I want information. I don't want to hear a song and dance. I don't want to have to search for 2 minutes to find what I'm looking for. I want it there and big and obvious.

thank you very much for the informative and interesting post. I get so much out of the active rain network.
