Planning Revisions to the Listings Page
Posted June 20th, 2005 | View Comments
The new homes, duplexes, and condo pages have been working out pretty well — I can see from my web site logs that they generate a lot of interest. I don’t like the fact that they’re manually updated still, however, but as the web site is currently configured it’s the only way to get it done.
The real problem with the manual updates is not that I mind doing them — it doesn’t take that long. The problem is that in the periods in between updates many of the homes are sold, so that users end up clicking on the more details link only to reach a “listing not available” screen.
Because of this, pretty soon I’m going to revise those pages so that clicking through for more details doesn’t bring up dead links, but instead, brings up an offer to get the same information automatically (daily) by email. At the same time, I’ll provide more information at the front end — probably all the home marketing info.
