Like the updates.

Suggest adding a opt in process for the creating a login or at least an option to do that configurable if wanted. I find many create bogus logins, which defeats the purpose. I had thought that was what “two stage” was about at first.

Check out John Wade at Arizonarealestatenotebook.com he was very helpful to me and helped me get the RSS feed figured out in a post. I downloaded a plugin on my Wordpress blog that deactivates the visual editor and allows you to drop in those feeds with no problem.

@Ryan I think a Wordpress tutorial is an excellent idea. I’ll see what I can do to get that in the blog lineup.

I am very glad to read this post – both for the changes made and the implied awareness of user experience. It is not good enough to be the best real estate search. My IDX solution has to be the best at converting and capturing leads. You just can’t test this enough.

I’m very pleased to see the ‘Register’ text is going bye-bye. Honestly that text almost stopped me from ordering your IDX solution. That was bad. But the solution looks great and I SO glad you folks are thinking about these issues and developing them!!!!!

Suggestion: Please include the user’s login and password in the Welcome email. I want to setup my clients in the system. But the current system makes this impossible.

Suggestion 2: I run a wordpress blog and I could really use a tutorial designed for implementing the IDX solution w/wordpress. I have run into many obstacles, most having to do with the use of javascript in WP pages/posts/and widgets. If you developed a cheat sheet I could read / and or forward to my tech guys it would really help. Or maybe you could have a customer service person knowledgeable with WP. I believe 50% of your users will probably be running your solution on WP in the near future. Wait, I just realized this is WP blog. OK, I rest my case!

I’m glad you’ve been working on the Registration Form. When we used the IDX site to run PPC ads, that was the piece that killed the % of visitors that would register. Speaking of which, did you test different designs to see which would get the highest registration rate? I’m looking forward to testing the site myself this spring. Thanks!
