Web Design - Real Estate Websites for Realtors®
Our Real Estate Plan is built around a custom created realtor website package we've worked with and modified for over 2 years. Our Realtor ® solution can handle an unlimited number of properties, an unlimited number of agents, multiple images per property (it even automatically resizes your images when you add them), includes auto-generation of maps via Yahoo Maps (your clients & visitors can click to get a map to any Postal Code or Zip Code in the USA or Canada), and much more! For more details, ask us!
Your Realtor® package will come complete with a
custom layout to differentiate your site from the competition, matching your own branding. Your
unique real estate website will include all the important features that you expect from a real estate website
including a powerful administration back-end where you can add/edit/delete properties, set specific properties
to be "featured" (they appear in various extra areas on the site), your own contact and information page(s),
and much much more! (See a partial list of features below!).
Best of all, your Go Graphical designed Real Estate website costs NOTHING to add properties!
No extra fees, no monthly bills, no per-use charges. You only pay your monthly or yearly webhosting contract
and nothing more! Your entire website, including all of your property listings, resides entirely on your own
website. Why pay for two services (web hosting and property listing) when Go Graphical has the perfect solution
for Realtors? If you're currently paying $29.95 per month or more for a real estate listing service, your own
Go Graphical Designed Realtor Website will pay for itself in no time!

Price
The price for our Real Estate web design package starts at $795.00
We say "starts" because perhaps there are one or two other features you would like included in your package. Examples include anything from our "A" and "B" lists, or any other custom function you request such as a customized forum, or a classified ads section, or a dynamic blog section. In those cases, we are very flexible in providing whatever additional functions and features you want or need. We will do our very best to keep the price as low as possible to fit your budget.
Based on requested features and/or additional capabilities both the development time and the actual price of a
Real Estate website package from
Go Graphical varies from client to client. We do
not sell cookie-cutter websites, there will be no website out there that looks exactly like
your website. Your identity and branding is the most important IP your company posesses, you should promote
and exploit it to the max.
We are also authorized resellers & installers for a large number of high end professional website applications including help desks, knowledge base systems, newsletter managers, and more. We'll recommend the systems best suited for your requirements (for example, if we have an $80 script package that will do everything you require we'll recommend that instead of billing you for 5 hours reinventing the wheel at a higher cost). We will, of course, customize all packages to fit your website style and your brand identity.
There are and never will be any hidden costs. You will know upfront before we start how much it is going to
cost, and you will have a signed contract stating the facts.
Choosing a Domain Name
Your domain name should reflect what your business name is, or what your business does. You should also try to pick something that isn't difficult for customers to type! If your company name is, for example, "Smith Martin Wawchuk and Lowel Real Estate Ltd.", you don't want a long cumbersome domain name of smithmartinwawchuklowelrealestateltd.com. Who can type or remember that? Going with a domain name of smwlrealtors.com or smwlrealestate.com would be a far wiser choice. We can help you identify which domain name choices are available and suitable for your business, and we can also take care of the registraton for you as part of your web design package. (Domain names are $15.00 CDN per year for a .com .net or .org and $20 per year for .ca through Go Graphical's domain name registration service.)
A real-world example. One of our clients, Terry Mason Real Estate, chose a smart and easy to remember domain name of tbmason.com for their website. It's easy to remember, it's simple to type, and their website comes up on many search engines using search terms without tbmason.com mentioned in the search at all. (Matter of fact, if you search for Prince Albert Realtor, Prince Albert Real Estate, Terry Mason, or a wide range of other key word sets you'll see we have the TBMason.com website in the top 5 for many keyword sets!) The content of your website pages is what drives the results of a search, not the domain name in almost all cases. Think smart, your domain name is going to be on all your business cards and in all your print advertising. Keep it short and simple so your clients can get to you without making typing mistakes!
Choosing a webhost
If you do not have a webhost, we can recommend one for you -- we have tried countless different webhosts through the years and know which ones are: #1 reliable, #2 inexpensive and include the features you require and #3 have been in business for a long time and will continue to be in business for many years to come (nothing's worse than having your website suddenly vanish because your host went out of business!). We also do have our own webhosting available to our clients, but it is not our business focus. You are welcome to host with us, we have a 99.9% uptime guarantee and we have very fast servers and multiple redundant telco connections but you're just as welcome to host elsewhere. That's just how honest we are.
SSL Cert is an optional feature for any Professional Real Estate Website package. We can take care of your SSL cert for you if you prefer, we are an authorized GeoTrust and Digicert provider. You do not require an SSL cert for a Realtor website. [SSL Cert: Secure Socket Layer Certificate, 128-256 encryption]
