- High-Quality Images and Videos
The goal of your website should be to expand your reach and make connections with new prospects. Use the following tips to make your real estate website memorable and effective.
1. Easy-To-Use Site Navigation
It's unlikely site visitors will stick around for long if your website is difficult to navigate,. Use a simple menu that's accessible from each page of your site. To keep the site menu clean-cut, you can make child pages that will be hidden under a parent menu topic. When visitors hover over the parent menu item, the links to the additional pages will appear.
2. Lead Capture
If potential sellers or buyers want to work with you, you'll need to get their contact information. This can be achieved using forms or a with a chatbot. Including a contact form will allow people to reach out if they would like to get information about you or one of your listings.
3. Responsive Design
Cater to those who are on-the-go and like to search for real estate agents and listings as they roam. A responsive website design means your site will adjust its width depending on the screen size the visitor is viewing it on. They'll be able to access the website from any device, which greatly improves the user experience.
4. Content and Resources
If you want your site to be found in people's search results, content like blogs and resource pages can improve your website's search engine optimization (SEO). In your content, you can include news and market trends, tips and tricks for home buyers and sellers, and lifestyle blog content.
5. High-Quality Images and Videos
Let's say you're scrolling through Instagram. Would you be more likely to click on a bright, focused image or video, or a dark and blurry one. Photos and videos provide you with the opportunity to share the beauty of your home listings, plus they break up the text on your website. Make sure the area you're shooting is well lit and the subject is in focus. This will ensure you'll have a crisp photo or video.
