You know a real estate website will help you market your services, educate your clients and prospects, and build business relationships. You're ready to get your site up and running. You even have a picture in your head of what it should look like.
There's one question...
How Do You Get Started?
My advice at this point is to slow down -- just a little bit. The initial setup stage is where most folks make their biggest and costliest mistakes. In their excitement, they skip the necessary research and sign on with a designer who can't deliver exactly what they're after.
Or they shell out $300 dollars or more for a real estate website template, only to realize later that the design can't support their content plans.
Elements of a Website:
To have a website live on the Internet, you'll need three primary things:
A web host (like Dotster, GoDaddy, or hundreds of others) A domain name (like www.mysite.com) Web pages (HTML files to structure the pages and style sheets to format them)
The Web Host:
A web host is a company that provides web hosting services. These companies own servers (extremely powerful computers) that host and "serve" the files that make up their clients' web pages.
You can create a website on your computer. But you have to put the files onto a web server before anybody can access them over the Internet.
