Day 1 - Web Build Day

Finally, the theme websites I had been researching was on sale. All 8 themes plus future themes for $199. This was through Agent Evolution.

Another theme I had purchased was from Pretty Darn Cute Designs. I will use for my personal blog.

I have also decided to purchase quality stock photos of my general area. I will also invest in a good zooming camera to photograph around town for the blog.

A couple of weeks ago I signed up for the MLS IDX-Wordpress real estate theme. The design was too simple for me.

Pauline got us a general real estate website through Property Minder. Lots of useful tools here so I think it is worth holding on to for a while. It will be more of a static website.

Now I am deciding on a webhost. Shared hosting being the more economical but there are hostings specifically for wordpress blogs.

I decided on MT - Media Temple as it is $29/month plus 3 wordpress sites. I registered: EvergreenAalisPlatinumProperties.com
$44 with url and host for the first charge

Some tasks that still need to be done:

Pick out stock photos and email photographer
Play with AE themes and add IDX.
Figure out landing page for Market Snapshot (Top Producer)
Play with Clarus Market Metric and embed into blog.
Research Altos data and embed into blog.
Niche:
     Evergreen Real Estate
     Basking Ridge Real Estate
     Communication Hill Real Estate
     Evergreen Business Owners and Businesses


I also am trying out Market Video from Terradatum. $49/month for 5 area market stats video.

Here is a sample using Santa Clara County.
