======  Real Geeks Website Content/Site Development  ======


- Notes, Ideas, and Examples

* Use a free HTML content manager such as Seamonkey Composer - package includes a browser, email, address book etc - just ignore them and use the Composer which is accessed from the middle icon in the menu in the LOWER LEFT bottom of the application.

(Allows you to have info and content ready to paste into Real Geeks Content Editor)

  * One method is to pick latest listings sort on property display tool - display 3-6 (less is better in smaller areas/subdivisions). Make sure you are not duplicating other sites in your area.
  * Build Sidebars First (keep track of your links), then build area & content pages
  * Look to cluster sidebar links around regions/communities/areas
  * Build pages of same type together - then move on to next category of page development (e.g. all regional pages, all community/city pages, all subdivision pages for a given community, etc)
  * Don't miss opportunities to build multiple pages for same area (regional/community page, foreclosure page, starter home page, luxury home page, homes with pools, golf course homes, etc - many opportunities)
  * Setup a link from bottom navigation menu to a page or additional pages of information (more for Search engines vs. human navigation).  Landing page from these links would then have general content & sidebar with links to all other subpages (e.g. Luxury Homes in Austin landing page linking to luxury home pages for each community)
  * Override picture and customize the area & content pages for better conversion.
