A well-designed and functional real estate website is the cornerstone of success in the digital age. Here, we will take you through the process, from the initial idea to a fully functional website. At Realty-Pixel.com, our expert team follows these structured steps to create a dynamic online presence for your real estate business:

1. Initial Contact

The initial contact is where your journey begins. We conduct a thorough consultation to understand your business, its objectives, and what you aim to achieve through your website. This is the foundation upon which the entire project is built. You can write us an email or use our contact form.

2. Discussion of Goals

Understanding your goals is crucial for shaping the website’s direction. We explore the objectives behind your website, whether it’s lead generation, brand awareness, or client engagement. This step forms the blueprint for the project. It is also helpful if you create a list of the subpages you need, so we can quickly get an idea of the scope of your project.

3. Desired Design and Layout

We assist in defining the look and feel of your website. This includes color schemes, branding, the user interface, and navigation. From sleek and modern to more traditional designs, we tailor it to match your vision. If you have a specific design in mind, you can also send us the link to these websites and we will recreate your website in a similar look.

4. Domain and Hosting Registration

This phase involves the technical setup of the website, including domain registration and securing hosting services. This establishes the virtual space where your site will reside. We will also install WordPress on your hosting, so we can start working on your new website. If you already have a domain name and hosting, great, we can use that and install the needed software on your hosting account.

If you don’t have a domain name and/or hosting, you have to buy the domain name and hosting. A domain name and hosting costs you about 3-10 dollars per month. If you don’t know which domain name is free or which domain name you should take, you can visit this website and find some inspiration and check if your desired website name is available.

The best place to buy a domain name and hosting is A2Hosting. If you have already a website and need a redesign, but your website currently is on a platform like Wix, Squarespace, or any other online website builder platform, you have to cancel your subscription and move your domain name to a real hosting company like A2Hosting, GoDaddy, Ionos, etc.

5. Submission of Content

We collect and curate the content that will populate your site, including text, images, logos, videos, or any other pertinent information you want to showcase. If you don’t have text or images for your new website, we can help you with our content service. We also can help you with logo design, if you don’t have a logo right now.

6. Website Design Implementation

Our expert team takes the provided content and begins the process of building the site. This stage integrates the design elements with the website’s structure, focusing on usability and responsiveness. This phase may take a little longer, as we develop your new website completely from scratch and adapt the layout and design of your website to your wishes and specifications.

7. First Customer Corrections

Your input matters. We encourage your feedback at this stage, allowing room for initial adjustments. Your insights help in refining the design to ensure it’s aligned with your expectations.

8. Creation of Subpages

Building upon the main framework, we develop essential subpages, optimizing them to align seamlessly with your primary content and site structure.

9. Integration of Functions and Plugins

Specific functions or plugins are integrated to enhance the user experience, such as property search functions, contact forms, live chat, mapping features, etc. If you want special features on your new website, you can always discuss these with us and we will integrate these features into your website.

In general, all conceivable functions can be integrated, as we can also program special functions ourselves and integrate them into your new website.

10. Website Optimization

To improve visibility and performance, we implement basic on-page SEO tactics, ensuring that your website is easily discoverable on search engines. If you want to have a professional monthly SEO service for your new website, in order to rank high in the organic search results and generate more leads and sales this way, we offer different search engine optimization packages.

11. Final Customer Corrections

Further feedback is gathered to ensure the site is finely tuned. We integrate your final inputs, refining the site for a perfect finish. Of course, you also have the opportunity to make any corrections here. We will of course implement these corrections in the design of your new website.

12. Implement Desired Corrections

This stage executes the final revisions, incorporating any remaining adjustments and modifications to deliver a polished website. Your new website is now fully functional and represents your business!

13. Customer Training in the Backend

Before the website is launched, we provide training on how to manage and update the backend. We ensure you’re equipped to make future updates and maintain your website. Care and maintenance of the website is very important. If you don’t want to manage your new website yourself, we also offer various services to help you even after the website has been completed. For example, we offer website maintenance packages or monthly search engine optimization packages for websites. If you choose these services, we will continue to look after your website and ensure that your website is secure and that your website appears at the top of the organic search results on various search engines.

14. Potential Follow-Up Costs

Many of our customers ask us whether we have any follow-up costs. We would like to explain this to you very quickly. Once your website is completed, there will be no follow-up costs on our part. You only have to pay the monthly fees to your hosting company (around 3-10 dollars). If you have not opted for any of our other services such as SEO, Website Maintenance, or Content Marketing, you will not incur any additional costs. However, you can view the prices of our services on this page. The website software, WordPress, is also completely free (as it is open-source software). So you don’t have to pay anything for it. So you only have to pay the monthly fees of the hosting company you have chosen.
