website design

Website design,  functionality and search engines (Google)
In conjunction with our software we have been at the forefront of website design and innovation.  Our software has been updating website property listings, client information pages and web based reporting systems for years.  As such we consider ourselves rather adapt at not only designing great looking sites but sites that have special features and functionality that lift us above the rest.

Even if the look of some of the example sites listed below aren’t to your taste you will see mapping technology designed by Clarks that works in the estate agency environment (something you can’t say for some of the other mapping solutions that are currently being used).

We take note of what every clients wants from their site and will make the site work for them in the way they do business.  One solution does NOT fit all.

Suggestions to be considered for your website design are:

Tidy up your site and making it more friendly.  Use a menu to drive the user to information on an office/department/service/product

Create a “Contact Us” page, a “Register with us” and a “Value my property” page.  These form pages will create electronic data which can then be directed to the right place.  For example, using “Register with us” creates an email that finds it’s way to the correct person or persons in the office to deal with the lead, it can also automatically update the local database ready for emailing/mailing of details.

Use your local systems to generate email traffic to your site.  This will not only reduce your costs with regard to postage and printing but will promote your site on the website search engines such as Google.  Being able to tell clients that your site is higher up the Google listing than a competitors can make the difference between getting and not getting the deal

Use of Flash Animation / Slide shows
Limit the amount of Flash and or picture Slide Shows on your site, they can detract from the message you are trying to deliver

Your Message
Don’t be too wordy.  Limit yourself to putting no more than three messages on your Home page and make them brief.

Web Hosting and Email Management
If at all possible host your website and email with the company who would most benefit from easy access to it and to configuring it.  If you have data that updates to a website, consider moving the hosting to their control. 

ALWAYS KEEP THE USER ON YOUR SITE, NEVER REDIRECT THEM TO LISTINGS ON ANOTHER PROVIDER.
