Customize Your WordPress Site for FREE!

Friday, January 13

Creating an interesting, interactive website used to cost thousands of dollars a year.  Even if you went the "do-it-yourself" route, you ran the risk of looking like many other real estate sites out there by using the same old limited freebie themes.  However, websites have come a long way, baby.  Most real estate professionals are ditching their old expensive websites for a hosted WordPress site.  They are much more affordable, offer a wide variety of plugins and widgets to completely customize your site, and, most importantly, they are completely user-friendly.  Even computer novices can look like geniuses with WordPress.

Theme Shock is a great program I have found to help my real estate clients create a truly impressive WordPress site.  Through Theme Shock, you can download your own free bundle of WordPress themes to use on your hosted site.  Each free bundle includes your choice of 99 different WordPress themes (you can use 10 different ones at a time for free), 750 free high quality icons and more.  For a fee, you can download the premium Shock Bundle.  This includes 102 Premium WordPress themes, icons for Android and iPhone, credit card icons, social media icons, logo templates and so much more.  The following are just a few examples of Word Press sites using Theme Shock my clients are currently using:

Don't delay.  Stop spending thousands of dollars on your real estate website.  Get Theme Shock now and make a true impression on future clients.  Just let me know if you need any help getting started.

   Some of the sites look good and some not so much. I think if you really want a great site you still have to spend a lot of money. If you are selling commercial RE or if you are working with fancy clients you should probably still spend the bucks.

   Hi Jeffrey - Every client is different with their own set of needs and goals. I agree that some agents require more "fluff" than others. But, I have to respectfully disagree that you have to spend big bucks. With the popularity of Wordpress, many companies related to the real estate industry are jumping on board with widgets and plugins that offer great features to the site. It's also easy to add your IDX feed. Another awesome part of Wordpress is that you pay annually for our hosting and URL and you are done at a fraction of the cost.

   Thanks for you comments. Enjoy a great day.
