Google today made the formal announcement that its new Web indexing system called Caffeine is now complete.

Aloha!

Did you know that custom websites on Word Press can look like this Big Island Ocean Front?

Word Press is the most incredible product for real estate. Gone are the web hosting plans that commit you into their proprietary code and you simply rent space for the life of your site. The Word Press platform allows us to bend the designs to our will, and just as important, you own your site lock, stock and barrel. There are hundreds of plugins made just for real estate and Word Press. Every single page can have something unique in a sidebar, no more boring repetitive links.

The search engines love Word Press. Word Press is not just for blogs, although you can have your website and your blog in the same place. You can deep nest hundreds of pages and everything is neat and tidy for you to find in the administration panel. Your visitors don’t get lost in messy navigation that goes everywhere. How about changing slideshows on every single page? Or unique graphics on every page if you like? We code your Word Press site so that it is easy to manage. No themes that are difficult to figure out, it’s simple Word Press the way it’s meant to be. Love newsletters, creating forms on the fly, stats on the first page, deep seo tools, verifying your site with Google, Yahoo and Bing within 15 minutes total? Easy.

You probably guessed that I simply love what has happened for the real estate industry. I don’t have to tell our clients that they cannot have their code. If I croak, their site may have to RIP. Not at all. You own your site, your design, your online marketing. Every single week we receive calls from agents who have had bad experiences with companies that lock them into their code and they have to start over. Those days are gone.

You will not see our Word Press designs in my portfolio yet, so I wanted to get the word out. I am happy to answer questions.

Sincerely,

If you love our custom web site designs, and want to start with a custom Word Press blog, you have hit pay dirt. We have done so many custom blogs this past year, that I have completely lost track, more than 40 for sure. Our custom web site designs cost $5K and up, they are going up in price in the next 30 days to $7,500.

But you can still have the same great quality on a custom blog, which gives you all the swell features of Word Press and one of our award winning designs. The price is $2,500 for a limited time. That is a great introductory price.

Check out this design below. It is for Joe Pryor’s Breaking News blog with Domus Consulting. It has all the bells and whistles that you need and makes a statement about your online business.

Contact me immediately, I will only offer this price of $2,500 for a short time.

We have just gone live on a new custom design for an Advanced Access client.

www.TurnKeyHomesandLoans.com.

We have several exquisite designs in process for Advanced Access. This is only a design on Kim’s mockup, no coding yet. The latin will be replaced by regular text. We always set designs in latin and then the regular text goes in, once we go into programming.

We have loved working with Advanced Access in the past and so thrilled to work with this platform. Their customer support is the BEST in the template industry.

If you are thinking about one of our custom maps, the price will be going up in the next couple of weeks. The current price for custom maps is $3,000 + $50 for each point of interest. www.BeautifulCustomMaps.com.

The price for custom website designs starts at $5,000.

I just received a response back from the David Suzuki Foundation and they are interested in a custom map for Grizzly bears. How exciting!!!

I have found the Eco Broker course to be extremely valuable, and not just “another course” we have to take. One of the lessons that was in the last set of marketing materials, was talking about reaching out to affiliates.

I had an idea to reach out to environmentalists and discovered the there is a beautiful rain forest in British Columbia called the Great Bear Forest. It has white bears that are amazing. What was interesting was this forest is the last of its kind in the world. It brought me to a website from the David Suzuki Foundation, and a paper on the Great White Bear -

The reason I mention this is it made me think of other ways to work with people who are making a difference.

As Eco Brokers we have a voice in the industry that speaks directly to homeowners. It’s not just about saving money on appliances and getting green loans. The bigger picture is keeping our forests, which are called the lungs of earth. If we all do a small part to conserve, we make a difference.

Sometimes it only takes one person to start a domino effect. Taking a few moments out of our busy day to see what eco minded people are doing to make a difference. Reach out to them, make friends, help them in a small way.

I have offered to create a custom map of the Great Bear forest for the Suzuki Foundation. This was inspired by one of the lessons in our Eco Broker Marketing class.

I’m going to visit Vancouver later this month and perhaps take a tour of this forest aboard Great Bear Tours. I’ll give a full report with photos soon.

Have a nice Thanksgiving.
