Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with a Realtor in Fort Mill, South
Carolina who needs a website designed. She’s a fairly new Realtor, her
first closing was to be the day after we met, but she understands the value
of marketing herself on the internet (sales up 73.4%!)and wanted a bright, friendly new website to promote
herself with.
How Do You Get Started?
Like many people starting out in business, she knew how valuable a website
would be in getting her name out. What she didn’t know was how to start or
how the process worked. We had previously reviewed her competitors and
colleague’s websites as well as those pushing the web design edge in other
real estate markets so we had a good basis to start from. Here are a few
questions we covered.
- What does a $600 website look like?
- What does a $1000 website look like?
- Can you put MLS search on my site?
- What pages should I start with?
- What is an About Us Page? Can you show me some examples?
- What are some other things I can started with?
Answer: pretty bad. Like a website a college kid would build for you and 1000 other people.
Kind of like this one. Looks plain, but dominates Search Engine Rankings for Antique Tool Chests.
Why I Love These Questions.
I have built a killer website answering web design and development questions. There
are over 300 articles that have helped hundreds of thousands of people do
everything from how to post a picture on Craigslist to . Whether the answers were one sentence or many pages long,

The next step is to answer those questions on this site. It’s easy. I’ve
answered them a hundred times before and just answered them for a happy new
client. If I write a new article for each question, my site gets that much
better, my business will attract so many new clients, and so many more
people with be helped with their web development questions. Sounds like a
win, win, win!
