Phoenix Real Estate Search Site Comes to Life

Phoenix Real Estate Search Site Screen Shot

Been toying around some this weekend with a new site dedicated solely to searching for Phoenix area homes.

The URL is a mouthful, PhoenixRealEstateSearchSite.com (affectionately now called PRESS…).

There is no question that it will morph and change over time. Numerous pages and searches still need to be added. Eventually, it will have dedicated pages for home searches for specific neighborhoods, zip codes, price ranges, features, etc.

I’ve been wanting to experiment with a “home search only” site for quite some time, and never had the right MLS / IDX solution to pull it off. That’s no longer a problem — now it boils down to time, and the ability to get a site with minimal text and back links to rank in the search engines. Time I have to find a way to manage, the search results we’ll just have to wait and see…

PRESS is built on the WordPress platform, using the fabulous premium Thesis theme from Chris Pearson. It’s not free, but it’s worth every nickel. Chris is a brilliant, and responsive, designer. I’ve been using his free Neoclassical theme for single-property blogsites — his sense of style and typography is unmatched. And his SEOness is pretty dang great!

Comments

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

I'm a big fan of Diverse Solutions' product and use it on my blog as well. Haven't even begun to scratch its capabilities. What I particularly like about it is the RSS feeds it spits out.

Another website to manage... when will you ever learn. ;-)

We run five and it is so very time consuming to consistently add fresh, relevant and unique content to all of them.

Good luck to you with the new site Jay!
