Real Estate website creation

**nostoppingnow** · 03-06-2007, 09:44 AM

Hi All,

I am have been assigned to build a web site for a real estate agency and was wondering if someone can propose a good cms to do it with.

I would like one that is real estate specific. I know joomla and things but i want something that is as close as it gets to real estate.

Anyine happened to be in my shoes in the past?

thx

Joomla is good one.

You can use wordpress for an immediate start while you do the research and build a good one.

with word press you can be done in couple of hours.

Feel free to add the site to my signature directories.

Thanks

I strongly recommed wordpress.
You can set it up easily.
Also remember that seo (search engine optimization) is the key in the game for websites.
remember to mod_rewrite your content so instead of hard to read urls
you get clean and humand readable content
so instead of content=property&cat=32&id=24
you get content/property/house_in_panama_city for example
if you need further assitance let me know

Also php nuke and mambo.

I have never completed a site in cms's as I prefer good old file editing one by one, but I have friends that have used these two.

Give it a go.

There are several good commercial components to go with a Joomla/Mambo set up.

Ezrealty is one that I am using, you can find it by searching the joomla.org extensions area.

if you want the site to be successful, make it basic and vast. I would just use PHP

I made one using open-realty .. script is fine if its a single agents listing.

the script is free and if your hosting provides fantastico.. installation is just a click away..

you should probably try it once..

Do you have a link to the site you made with open-realty. And that goes for anyone else that might have done the same.

Open realty isn't a bad base (and it's free) though I found it a bit too basic for my needs. In the end I ended up with Joomla and the Hot Property component.
