IStrategy IDX for San Diego

[Chief Tutor]

Has anyone heard lately about how Istrategy is doing. I like their IDX solution but they weren't at the CAR convention and I have heard rumors they are not doing well. Anybody have any insight.

Just want to do a background check before I get this product for my local client. Any assistance would be great.

Just want to do a background check before I get this product for my local client. Any assistance would be great.I went to their site. Bad, Bad, Bad. First their java crashed my browser, so I turned off java and tried again, they used flash for navigation, so I had to turn flash on to navigate their site. I finally found the MLS wizard which had a brief statement about MLS, no demo or at least I could not easily find one. All the usablity studies I have read say that a site needs to load fast, under 8 seconds, that navagation is suppose to be easy. It must be only people like myself take part in usability studies.

Haven't heard of them. I couldn't find any IDX clients on their site to check their speed and design either.

Is there an IDX usage in particular you're looking for Chief Tutor? I might be able to point you in the right direction [I'm getting calls everyday from developers and possible strategic partners that want to work with Cellit Mobile Marketing...it is possible that I might know of someone for you].

I have learned iStrategy's IDX does not work well with Firefox...for what it's worth. Overall, good product.

You ae right that it does not work that well in firefox, but we have decided to use it anyway. Still have a few tweaks but just launched the site. check it out.

We are going to be fixing the scrolling issue over the weekend, but if you have any other thoughts, would enjoy your input.

Despite its shortcomings with Firefox (it is still functional), it is the best product I know of in our market. Feel free to take a look at my site.

And yes, their site does suck.

G&SOk product, nothing unusal or special. I didn't get to see the listing page becaue it was behind a registration. The downside to the search results is the iframe.

Since usability and accessibility is my primary field I do put a premium on them. Even with my bias I think ignoring a large and growing FF user base is not taking full advantage of the web.

is it firefox or iStrategy that would have to fix the problem to make them compatible?
