Fine Tuning Your Website...What a difference it can make?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Urban Knight Enterprises, Inc.

I went through stomach wrenching knots when I decided to build my on website.  Creating, designing, learning to use words to get notice and formatting were the key factors in building it.  The site was launched in July, 2008 and I experienced many woes of trying to get on all of the lists, using the correct tags, etc. 

What a nightmare? If I had to do it all over again I would. During that time period I learned a great deal about advertisement, how to capture an audience, how to take constructive criticism, what works and what doesn't work.  Learning how people view websites determines in most cases if you are going to capture a customer. 

Laura Vestnan and Lashawn James-Major provided me with excellent advise on how to format my site and the importance of using key words.  Thanks for all of your support ladies.   

Recently, I realized that I wasn't getting traffic that I needed and had a feeling that my site may be scaring away potential clients.  To be honest I was never really happy with my first attempt in building the site, because it just didn't present that come again approach to it.  So, I decided it was time for a makeover.  I must say to be an amateur, my website looks pretty cool.

Well, I must say that I am a firm believer in updating your website on a regular basis.  All the tweaking here and there has really paid off.  I was surprised at how those changes made a difference.  My phone has been ringing off the hook and the revenue has been pouring in. 

So, if you get a chance take a peak at my website and tell me what you think.  Let me know if more tweaking is needed.  I welcome your thoughts.  Thanks!

I use Firefox and the text and pictures on the right side of the page are overlapping. You might want to do a search. There are some sites that show you what your site looks like in various browsers.

Congratulations Pamela.  I have been putting off some tweaking myself.  I guess I just need to get it done!

Hi, Pamela

Your site is terrific.  The only thing I would change is that I would make the phone number HUGE!

That is the most important item on any notary's site.
