5th Birthday Celebration Real Estate Webmasters customer appreciation promo

Awewsome.. looks like some more decisions to be made over the weekend! Assume that we can order blocks of hours to used later as needed and we have the credit on file?

Yeah absolutely if you purchase promo hours they are banked and can be used at any time, they do not expire :)

Happy 5th Birthday to all at REW keep up the good work.

Congratulations! Happy 5th B-Day.

Can I have the CORE IDX setup on my existing site or does it have to be a REW site ?

How much does the CORE IDX SETUP cost ?

Is adding more search capabilities for our users to the IDX considered a Standard IDX Upgrade, for example the "Radius Search" or is that in the custom work section of design and programing?

Congrats!!!!!!! I've been around for three of them, and it seems like yesterday I signed up and was learning the difference between a static page and dynamic page. I look forward to making another post here in a few days.

happy birthday!

I would like to place an order. Please contact me.

I'm not sure what a standard IDX Upgrade is? Vs. what I have? I may be interested in this if it applies to me.

I also want to get an estimate for creating a "community" page template that shows links of price ranges for homes, list of homes, etc., that I can then clone for other communities. I would also perhaps like to put this on my home page as well and maybe with another thing to spice up my home page.

So...I'm not sure how many hours to buy as I need some estimates and the question answered for the idx question above.

Happy B'day REW and thanks for everything... Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday Morgan and the entire REW team!

Nice!

Happy B-day Guys! It seemed like just yesterday I found the seoguy website and had my first phone call with Morgan back in 04. I have been with you guys ever since!!! Keep up the good work.

Can't miss a good promotion . . . Here's my order.

1. Quick Search - Placed on the top of my left side nav (unless you can think of a better place).
2. 1 Hour of Design Time - Need to clean up the first page of my blog. http://www.ulstercountyliving.com/blog/
3. Custom Programming - In the CMS, please add flash file type (swf and flv if possible) to the "Allowed file types" in my file manager. So I can upload flash content.

Again happy 5th, looking forward to the next 5.

- Lou

Happy Birthday REW!

And on a personal note to Morgan...thanks for creating a company that creates the tools that help REALTORS compete out on the internet. If only more people knew that you go far beyond simply building websites, but actually benefitting every REALTOR with your participation in the industry.

Kudos. Here's hoping that your 10th birthday will be twice as nice!

Eric

Tempting Offer

Congrats on 5 years in the business !

do we have to wait til monday?

I didn't realize REW was so young! Great products, great service, great people. Just the right combination for success. Congratulations!

Happy B-day REW!

Morgan- My mls is the NWMLS and you have a download agreement with my broker. Can I set-up a core IDX on my rew site or will I have to be content with the iframe?

Wow 9 AM and already all these comments :) First of all thank you again to everyone for your warm sentiments we truly are blessed.

Now onto some questions, I will try to get to them in order.

Darlene - yes you can order CORE IDX whether you have an REW site or not, but if you don't have an REW site you forego many of the high end benefits such as the intellegence capturing of the lead management and the search engine friendly snippet functionality (both depend on CMS integration) but yes you can order it.

Normal CORE IDX setup is $2500 - 50% off means it's only $1250 (This is the most common order at REW btw and the best investment you can make with the exception of an LEC) There is also standard $360 USD hosting per year that applies per IDX data feed.

Mark Z - standard REW IDX upgrades are outlined here http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/upgrades/idx-enhancements.php and no a custom radius search is not one of them. What you would need to do is purchase programming hours (in blocks of 5) to accomplish that task, you should probably buy 2 blocks at least. So 10 hours - if you don't use them all on the radius search, they are banked for other future projects which as a long time REW customer you know will happen and soon anyways :)

Chris, you should probably go ahead and post a detailed RFP in the work orders forum http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/work-orders.html and the sales team would be happy to get you the estimate you need in order to place your hours order.

As for standard REW IDX upgrades - it refers to common modules that are ordered - you can view them here http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/upgrades/idx-enhancements.php it does not refer to an upgrade to the CORE technology itself.

Lou - quick search, no problem that's on the list of common uprades

As for items 2 and 3, you need both programming and design, they can't be purchased in single hours, they need to be purchased in blocks of 5 per category sorry - sounds like you will only need 1-2 hours on your blog and probably only 1 hour of programming so not sure if that works for you, but you are welcome to buy a 5 hour programming block and a 5 hour design block - once again, the balance would be banked. Thanks

Brett - unfortunately the limitation forcing agents to use iframes in NWMLS is a board impossed restriction that needs to be dealt with by your broker - agents cannot currently receive custom built in IDX at Metroeastside - Sorry.

I'll take the birds eye view and the directions as part of the standard IDX upgrade, assuming the birds eye view is available in my area.

OK, just the Quick Search then. I will do the other two later.

1) Happy Birthday in this economy it is a joy to see businesses thriving!

2) I'll take 5 hours of custom programming

Ben Nicolas

IET Real Estate

Morgan,

Happy birthday. I would like to order 1) Drag & Drop Page Manager, 2) 301 Redirect Tool and 3) 20 hours for future work.

If I add another site (LEC?) can you give a quote on merging the 2 lead managers so that I would only need to work off of one database. (I can post this over in work orders if you wnat me to)

Have Holly invioice me on the first three, I want that drag & drop ASAP.

Thnaks,

Adam

Morgan since both the IDX and CMS 2.0 enhancements are 50% off we can just purchase say a block of 10 hrs ($500) and apply them as needed for any IDX and CMS upgrades now or in the future? Thanks.

Mark Z - your order for birdseye and directions has been submitted.

Ben your order for 5 hours of programming has been submitted.

Lou your order for quick search has been submitted.

Adam - I can submit the first two, but the third I need to know what the 20 hours are (depts are limited) is that 20 of programming? Or 20 design, or half and half? Any writing hours in there?

i'll take 10 hours please

Btw Adam you should probably need at least 5 hours custom programming time to merge 2 lead management systems (not really merge but have one site feed anothers lead manager) but to be safe I would budget 5-10. Yes it's possible, in fact we do it all the time (in one case with almost 30 separate sites feeding into 1)

If I want to buy another 5 hour block of design/writing does that include SEO? If yes than I'd like a 5 hour block of that too.

Sorry for repeating myself. There must have been a delay with the posts showing up or something so I ended up repeating myself. I am looking at an idx page that I can link to from my non rew website. Let me know how this works and what my options are.

I currently use idx pro and it is iframed into my site.

Thanks in advance.

Great Sale! Please sign me up for Drag & Drop Page Manager and Advanced XML Sitemap.

Mike (Trinch) that didn't make any sense at all - IDX modules (products that are not labor based) are 50% off - hours are not 50% off they are 25% off and must be purchased in blocks of 5 - would you like to purchase some?

Greg H - 10 hours of what? Programming / design or writing? Thanks

10 hours of programming.

thanks

Before every one else goes wild and I lose the opportunity, for sure hold 5-hrs design and 10-hrs programming for now. I'Il probably add more next week once I figure out some new ideas needed and what I needed done and never ordered!

Is anyone using the keyword conversion module? Care to share?

where can i find the cms2 standard upgrades

Greg - you can find them here :) http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/upgrades/cms-modules.php

For those of you asking me what LEC's are and how much each costs - they are uber high end pre-built customs with all the most popular features (built in blogs, quick searches, rss feeds, high end IDX, custom level design, control panel and much more)

Here are the standard versions and their pricing

LEC 1 - http://www.bocahome.com (retail $8000 on promo for $6000)
LEC 2 - http://www.lakeandcityhomes.com/ (Retal $10,000 on for $7500)
LEC 3 - http://www.sarasota-waterfront.com (Retail $8000 on for $6000)
LEC 4 - http://www.myhomehouston.com (retail $10,000 on for $7500) << This one is brand new!

*Standard hosting rates apply

Typically the most common upgrade (and the only one you should really ever need if that) is custom color schemes - they are going to average around 10 hours of design for custom colors.

i'll take the drag and drop also

Drew - I submitted your order for 15 hours - thank you so much!

Greg you to bud, drag and drop has been submitted.

Oh yeah and Greg your order for 10 hours programming has been submitted as well. Thanks (PS I thought I was going to talk you into an LEC, what happened there lol)

And Drew - the keyword conversion tool is NOT available during this promo as it has not been priced yet, it is currently only available as a free module to those that purchase an LEC during this promo.

I did install it (without asking hehe) on http://www.jimolenbush.com - he probably hasn't even noticed yet, he would be the only one (other than me) to have one - hit him up I am sure he would be happy to tell you how cool it is once he knows it's there ;-)

Thanks for the deal.

A lexus LS430 got in the way of the LEC.

I am thinking of getting the Control Panel also

Morgan,

Is the lead management system live?

is there anyplace i can read up on the not-yet-priced keyword conversion

Coach:

Congrats to you and the crew and a special thank you for putting up with me for the last couple years...seriously.

I can't miss out on the festivities so could you please throw Gretch and I down for 50 hours. If it helps you organize, I could do my best at estimating how that time would be partitioned (mostly programming). Just let me know. Congrats and thanks again for everything...

- Kev

ok, Holly hit me up already. can i go over and put in some work orders?

Sure you can Greg - (You can do that any time really) - have fun and thank you

And Kevin a huge THANK YOU to you as well, largest hours order so far I think - I have sent it into Holly for processing. Be well grasshopper :)

Congratulations to the whole team at REW on a great 5 years! I look forward to many more!!

Morgan, how much to upgrade www.atlantaluxuryhomes.com to CMS2?

I am not all to familiar with any IDX customizations but I would say "max" 10 hours.

So, that would work out ot be a max of $500?

Hi Morgan,

Happy Birthday to you and everyone at REW.

Please put me down and bill me for:

50 hours (25 design and 25 programming)

Google Street View (I'll submit a work order with some design changes later)

301 Redirect - OK to add it now

Keyword Conversion - Not sure of what it is, but it sounds like something I'll want when it comes available

Thanks,

Tina

1) does the writing and design hours available during this promotion include SEO assistance?2) what is the keyword conversion module? any info pages on it?

Thanks,

Morgan, do you have an idea of what the cost would be to upgrade my Dallas site to the CMS 2. Also has REW completed the lead managment system?

Thanks

Congrats REW! I actually just sent you an email Morgan regarding Templates. If you don't get it let me know.

I'll take 5 hours custom work. Let me know how to proceed. Thanks.

I will also take 5 hours of custom work - I'd like to "spice" up my template! Thanks!

I'll take 10 hours of design and 10 hours of programming. Thanks, Todd.

Happy 5th. Glad to be a part of the crew. I remember you had just a handful of sites when you built my original one 5 years ago. Now look at you guys. Good job.

Matt (Scoggins) hours are 25% discount, not 50 so 10 hours would be $750 USD not $500

Tina I have submitted your requests to Holly for 50 hours at 25% discount and streetview + 301 redirect at 50% thanks for your order :)

Ben - although our writers are trained in SEO - the promo only covers writing time - which is the consultation, research and production of on page content. They would not be doing traditional SEO activities such as advanced keyword research, website architecture or analytics work, SEO training / consulting etc. So the "writing time" means the production of on page unique (and search engine friendly) content.

Hope that helps answer your question.

Keyword conversion tool - for those that have asked (and no you can't buy it yet because it doesn't have a price, we need to do a few installs first before we can price it) anyways.

Click on this tool and you will see three sortable columns - keyword phrase, search engine, leads

Keyword phrase is an alphabettical list of all keywords that brought actual conversions (not just traffic) to your website captured via any REW contact form or registration form.

Search Engine - refers to the search engine that brought the keyword phrase.

Leads is the column where the count of how many leads for that particular phrase have been generated.

Each keyword phrase is clickable to give you a detaild view of the leads that were brought by that specific phrase. If you use the lead tagging (such as tagging a lead to "closed" once you have converted them into a deal) it gives you a very nice at a glance look at not only what keywords are performing into lead conversion, but also sale conversion.

Hopefully that helps for those folks that wanted to know what this module does. It's quite handy and really lets you know what your premier keywords are.

Richard - for your conversion (if you are talking www.viprealtyinfo.com) - absolutely no idea brother, sorry - you have so many dang customizations I would hate to have to hazzard a guess - I would say more than 15-20 hours if I had to put some number to you.

As for finishing the lead manager - what lead manager? We aren't working on a new lead manager - you might be thinking about the calendar module (for) our lead manager, and I am currently testing the final version right now and I will probably announce it's availability at the REW Summit (first crack will be given to those who attend the summit)

Paul Cap - I did not get an email from you, my email is morgan @ realestatewebmasters.com - is this where you sent it?

Brian (Talley) would you like design, programming or writing?

Leanne, you said "spice up" should I assume you mean design time?

Todd (covington) your order of 10 hours design and 10 hours programming has been sent to billing for invoicing - thanks for your order.

Morgan: Kevin is doing the ordering (and paying ), but I did want to add my Congratulations on your 5th Anniversary...Hope you're having a big party...champagne...the works!! You deserve it...Best..Gretchen Koitz

Morgan,

I just sent you another email to the address you mentioned. The first email I sent was through the Contact Me link in this Blog. Hopefully you will get the new one. Thanks.

Interested....please contact me....www.agentjustin.com

Justin, speaking from experience as a past #1E client, you might want to consider an REW-LEC site during this promo. Unless you are getting a huge volume of leads now from your #1 site (yours looks far better than most of them), an REW site set up properly, with custom IDX, should far outperform a #1 site. Your long term ROI should improve as a result. It was a happy day when we dumped our #1 site. And, yes, I am a biased client based on actual results. Even a basic REW template site I set up, do nothing to it and never add any new content gets daily leads.

Morgan,

Increase me to 30 hours - 20 programming and 10 design.

Thanks,

Adam

Morgan- I've sent an email to Ryland with specifics for my template spice up! I think we have it taken care of! Thanks! Leann

Hi Morgan,

I submitted a post yesterday morning, but I'm not seeing it. Let's try again...

Please put me down for Streetview, 15 hours programming (will mostly be IDX), and 5 hours design. And a question...do I already have Advanced XML Sitemapping? If not, please include it as well.

Thanks,

Dave

Congrats and happy 5th birthday.

Put me down for 15 hours, 10 programming and 5 design. I should probably know the answer to this, but how would a template upgrade apply to this promo? Perphaps a better question is would it apply?

Gretch - Thanks so much, it has been great working with you and Kevin since July of 06 How time flies - that was your first order (a template) look how far you have come - I am very proud of you.

Paul - sent you an email, got a response. Thanks

Justin Kiliszek - Also sent you an email, you should have your invoice shortly - thank you! :)

Drew - thanks as always for your awesome recommendations of our service - we will keep doing whatever we can to ensure your bias as a satisfied customer continues.

Adam - Thanks again for your order, I have forwarded your upgrade in hours to Holly.

403 (Liane?) We havne't met yet (you must be new) but thank you for your order I am sure Ryland will take good care of you.

Ok back to processing orders - who was next... Dave and Mike I will submit yours now thanks.

David Ellis - I assume this is for www.davidellisrealtor.com - I have submitted your 20 hour order + streetview and xml sitemapping. Thanks for your order.

Mike I sent your 15 hour order in, thank you very much. In terms of "template upgrade" I am not sure what is meant by that, so hard to respond. However you could either use custom hours to switch to a different template (I think this is what you meant) or you could just order from scratch depending on what made more sense $ wise.

Does that help?

5 hours of SEO consulting to outline onpage and off page strategy for site where we would perform work on backend and off page.

I alos posted to work order forum - http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/thread33905.html

Morgan - How long would it take to get WalkScore added to my site?

One other question, would a mandatory RETS upgrade from my MLS provider count as a CORE IDX SETUP?

Colorado Homefinder - we don't sell "per hour" consulting to teach people how to do SEO, and SEO time is also not being offered during this promo. Sorry

Shane - what do you mean "walkscore added to your site" where and how would you like it added? Do you have an example?

As for RETS upgrades, that would be billable custom programming time and the 25% discount on programming would apply. It doesn't count as CORE IDX setup because you do not have a CORE IDX, yours is completely custom so everything is done hourly.

Thanks Morgan. Regarding the Walk Score, Justin Havre has it as part of the listing details.

Hmmm that seems pretty easy actually I would say "less than" 5 hours combined design and programming. Every one is different of course because you have different layouts for your details pages, some might need more design time than others to look good.

Morgan,

Sign us up for 2 new REW IDX and the related custom programming for each IDX. This will be for our new CBS Home Real Estate and Prudential Real Estate data feed projects.

Thanks!

-David Nelson

Order is through to Administration David, appreciate the business and looking forward to getting these two feeds added to the (now live) site.

Morgan, Place me on th list for the Core IDX with quick search and featured listings module and any other modules you think are a good deal right now. I want a new template, I will let you know which one of the color schemes. I'm off to the world of PayPal to make my deposit. Thanks! Don't be shy, if it's half price and I can use it, pitch it

Ok, put me down for the microsoft birds eye view, drag and drop page manager, 5 hours programing and 5 hours design.

Thanks!

Ed you are going to pick one of the new dev135.rewtemplates.com templates right? Check out this one http://www.hometoindy.com/ turned out awesome! (has custom colors, suckerfish dropdowns, IDX, and quick search - oh yeah and a blog)

So what would I also add for you? Probably a REW 2.0 blog (not on promo) and maybe some suckerfish navs - other than that, as long as you can live with one of hte available colors you should be good to go.

Btw - I did place your order for the IDX, template upgrade featured listings and quick search - thanks!

Jason Painter, I have submitted your order as well, thanks guys.

Oops that should just read www.hometoindy.com

Hi Ed -- order is through to Administration, watch for the invoice. All recommended upgrades are included on the invoice... don't forget to settle prior to Friday afternoon to take advantage of the promotional pricing.

That website looks really good Morgan. As long as it has something similar to the Blue / Dark Blue color scheme available, I'm very good with it. Ryland - nice to meet you. If someone could draw up something with all of those recommendations Morgan has so I can make sure we're with in budget, I would appreciate it. There is no real financial benefit to paying for the template before Friday, right? If so, let me know. I just want to make sure I pay for all the discounted upgrades first, then if need be - the extra hosting fees for the IDX, etc can get paid next week. (should be able to take care of everything today, just making sure I get what is needed).

P.S. - Morgan, I've grown attached to my balloon, suggestions on where to place it on the new template? Maybe we can size it down just a tad.

Thanks for your time!

Morgan, another thought. Your estimated time it would take to do an SEO check of my home page and set up? How does the transfer work going to the new template? Will I need programming hours, or is it pretty seamless?

Morgan

Please sign me up for the following

LEC 2 site for Chicagoland

Google street view

m/s birdeye view

drag and drop

My other site will still be up and running for Florida

www.tedsoldit.com

Ted - you got it buddy - I can't beleive LEC 2.0 is available still in Chicago, but if you get your payment in - she will be all yours bud. Thanks again!

We would like the core IDX. Please call us asap!

Troy thanks for the chat - order sent to billing. Cheers

Could you point me to examples of the suckerfish navs and the REW 2.0 blog please? I received and paid for the invoice for the Template, Core, Quick search and featured listing modules. Thanks for the quick response Holly!

Ed - try http://dev135.rewtemplates.com/test.php to see an example of the suckerfish navigation (mouse over the top navigation bar).

Please note: the following site is an example of our LEC #2, and therefore the blog appearance is somewhat custom styled. However, the functionality is our V2.0 REW Blog... Blogroll, Categories and Navigation etc. Visit http://www.ryanwardrealestate.com/blog/

Sweet! Can you post the costs here or email them to me please? P.S. - Ryan, your site looks great.

Have Holly get me for 5 program and 5 design.

Thanks

Suckerfish drop-down navigation: http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/upgrades/design-enhancements.php

REW V2.0 Blog: http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/upgrades/rew-blogs.php

Thanks Greg, order is through to Administration. Watch for the invoice in your Inbox....

Add Suckerfish, Drag and Drop and 301 Re-direct please. I will add the REW Blog 2.0 in a week or two since it is not on special.

Thanks for the promo Morgan

Great Ed -- Suckerfish and 301 Re-direct have been added. Drag & Drop is included with your new Template (and all new Template, LEC and Custom site installations), no need to purchase this.

Sorry, I should have slowed down and verified one shoppoing list. I'm going for broke. Please add:

• Advanced XML / IDX Sitemap
• Google street view
• Google directions
• Birds Eye view

I'm going in to PayPPal to make another payment

We are never going to get this invoice out if you keep adding to it Ed! Don't get me wrong -- love the business -- give us a second to get this out. :)

Poor Administration, going to kill me with all of these "Amendment to Order" e-mails...!!!

Morgan,

Are there any standard color packages for LEC 4 other the KW colors on http://www.myhomehouston.com ?

Does LEC 4 include all the standard options? such as...

• Advanced XML / IDX Sitemap
• Google street view
• Google directions
• Drag and Drop
• Birds Eye view
  
  

Ryland I definitely want to get in on a bunch of hours, I sent Morgan some info on upgrading one of my template sites, just waiting to hear back with a quote. Maybe you can confirm with him.

Hey Adam,

Actually yes LEC 4 is the first LEC to offer multiple color schemes

There is the default: http://comps.rewdev.com/limited_edition-custom_4/lec-4_mockup_2c.html (the first one we designed)

And 3 alternates - Remax http://comps.rewdev.com/limited_edition-custom_4/Alternate_colors/lec-4_mockup_blue-red.html (this matches up with the new remax that is coming out www.remaxbeta.com) Coldwell Banker http://comps.rewdev.com/limited_edition-custom_4/Alternate_colors/lec-4_mockup_blue-gray.html and of course the KW color scheme that you have seen at myhomehouston.com

As for those other options - no they are not "standard" (They are common add ons) but never standard.

I am not sure if LEC 4 is available in your area, I would have to check, I think it's sold - are you interested?

Sorry Adam, I was wrong - LEC 4 is available in Sarasota, it was sold in Venice which is not considered the same region. So yes it's available :) (Version 2 and 3 are gone for sure there though)

Morgan,

I'm not going to do the switch on my Template but I would put in an order for the Quick Search to be added to paulcaparas . com.

Thanks.

Please put me down for 20 hours of custom work.

Thanks

Paul I sent in your order.

Shane - what did you want in terms of hours, programming, design, writing?

Morgan,
I will take the LEC4 for Sarasota. Also, include all options that are not included standard but are offered at 50% during the promo. Include the foloowing:

• Advanced XML / IDX Sitemap
• Google street view
• Google directions
• Drag and Drop
• Birds Eye view
• RSS Snippet Reader
• Blog ??
• Controll Panel ??
  
  Of course I will have some custom work done, including the merger of the lead managers.
  
  Adam
  

15 hours of design and 5 hours of programming.

Thanks

Happy belated birthday! Sheesh, I'm at the bottom of the barrel here. Anyway, here's my order:

1. IDX - Can a search by address option be added that would take into consideration omitting directional letters (E., W., S., N.) or that would work for someone that actually spelled it out (east, west, etc.)? If this wouldn't work well then I wouldn't want to use it. Just asking at this point.

2. IDX - On the Property Search page I need to add the following two choices:

Garage - yes or no - if yes, how many cars minimum?

Basement - yes or no

3. IDX - On the Search Page I would like to get rid of Min. Square feet and Min. Acres. Square feet is not required in our MLS and most listings do not have this info. If prospects request it they won't get much in return, if anything.

4. Not sure how this fits in here, but I need help reconfiguring my Buyer Form snippet and I can't figure it out. I wanted the price range to be different (instead of a selection of price ranges, I'd like a blank box for their starting price "to" another blank box with their top price.

@Shane - order is in to Administration, watch for an invoice.

Hey Adam -- LEC #4 includes a custom Blog (w/ RSS Blogroll) as well as the intelligent Control Panel, so no need to add these to the order. Drag & Drop is also included with all new CMS installs (Template, LEC or Custom site) and don't expect to see it on the invoice either.

Order will be put through for:

LEC #4
XML/HTML Sitemapping
Google Streetview
Google Directions
Bird's Eye View

We should think about including some bulk programming hours to address the customization of Lead handling. Do you prefer to wait for an estimate or shall we just add 15 hours programming (at 25% off) to the order?

@Judy - recommended that you purchase five (5) programming hours to cover these items. By purchasing five you qualify for the 25% discount... we won't likely require all five, and the balance will remain on your account for future work.

Ready for an invoice?

Ryland, I thought IDX changes were 50% off - most of those changes were to my IDX. Is that search by address feasible? I'm afraid that if it won't work properly (with limited or too much information put in by a prospect), that I don't want to go with it. I'd still like an opinion on that before I decide on it.

Without the address search feature, 5 hours seems high for the rest. Are you sure?

Hi Judy -- custom labour for programming, design or writing is currently priced at 25% off.

Standard IDX upgrades refers to products, such as XML/HTML Sitemapping or Google Streetview. These upgrades/products qualify for the 50% discount.

Regarding the number of hours required: "we won't likely require all five, and the balance will remain on your account for future work" as per my first comment. You must purchase custom labour in multiples of 5 horus to obtain the 25% discount; hence my recommendation for five.

Please sign me up for 5 hours programming. Thanks!

I'll take 5 hours. Probably programming, but maybe some design. I put in an estimate for a community sql snippet (currently estimated at 1 hour of programming) and adding a top-level menu item (not sure if that is design or programming). I also want to get some ideas on what I can do with the remainder hours to perhaps liven up my home page perhaps with another snippet or two?

Ron, I have sent your order through - thank you very much.

Chris (Olsen) you need to specify (in blocks of 5) which hours you would like to purchase - 5 design, 5 programming, 5 writing? You cannot mix and match 2 hours of this, 1 hour or that 2 hours of the other.

Let me know - thanks

Since I'm not sure the total scope, it's still being determined, I'll take 5 design and 5 programming.

When I was reading about XML/HTML Sitemapping the paragraph said especially good for "High Authority REW Sites" Is something my site could benefit from right now by doing, or is my site too pre-mature for this now and this would be good for later on down the line since I am just now about to go live with an LEC 2?

Mark you would not want to add it to your existing site (because it doesn't have REW IDX) but you definitely want to add it to your new LEC 2.

Hey Morgan, give me whatever 5 hours that will cover the bulk of what I specified in my comment above. My charge card is on file.

Okay put me down for that for my LEC 2, also I posted something on the work order forum pertaining to the graphs we talked about with more specifics on what I'm looking to do, per your request. Let me know what we need for hours for that, because I want to put in for some custom hours. Thanks Morgan.

@Chris and @Judy -- orders are through to Administration. Thank you!

@Mark Z -- order for XML/HTML Sitemapping through to Administration.

Will follow up separately on the custom labour and be back in touch later today.

Markz - we have never done what you are asking for (and it looks like just from your forum thread that there is going to be a lot of back and forth) so I honestly have no idea - but I would say "lots" - at least 10 hours design, 20-30 hours programming (this is very rough at this point it could be 50 hours you never know with this kind of unchartered territory)

Btw Mark (and everyone else that has LEC 2) I am also working on a new stats module / tool specific to LEC 2 that will give your area pages some really great pop and have autogenerated stats - check out my mockup here http://comps.rewdev.com/REW-LEC-2/morganscreens/LEC2_StatsMockup.jpg (if you want to discuss, let's do that in the LEC forums, so we don't take away from the promo posts here) thanks

Wow! Genious, by golly! That is so cool, what category would that be in to put some hours on the shelf for that? Also to re-do my area pages similar in style to that mockup and have it set up similar to that mockup would that be in the "content writing" category?

It won't be hours, it will be a module and have a fixed cost (at least that's the plan) I don't have pricing yet because I haven't completed it yet - as I said, let's take the chat about that stats module to the LEC forums please - thanks.

I would like 5 hours of design time for my new lec 2 site

Ted Guarnero

Put me down for 5 programming hours and 5 design hours.

Sharon and Ted - I have forwarded both of your orders to billing. Thanks.

Morgan,

What department should I invest some hours in to re-design each of my community pages? I'm bored with them and want to bring them to life. Would that be content writing or design?

It would be both actually :) Writers would work on the content structure organization - and they would need to solicit assistance from design to visually bring to life thier content once it is organized.

Morgan,

The market stats module mockup looks good. I have something similar on my http://www.allaboutrealestate.com/happyvalley.php page. You can copy it if you like. I plan to put it on all my city pages and it would be awesome if you came up with a way to have it auto populate. I don’t like the thought of having to maintain them all!

Hi Morgan. I'd like to have a different presentation of the information on our listings detail pages - is that design or programming? If if its Programming, I'll take a 15 hr block. If I need Design time on the listing pages, then let's split it up with 5 on Design and 10 on Programming. Happy Birthday to REW and best wishes to your continued growth.

Please add 5 additional hours of programming to my existing quote. Happy belated BTW, and thanks for another great promo!!!

Morgan,

I will take the Birds Eye View for my site as well as a block of 10 hours toward programming, content, design please.

Does the LEC 2 include CMS 2.0 and the control panel? What time zone is the time deadline for this promo. I am central time.

Thanks, Mike

Got that wrpong I meant Lec 3 for those questions. Sorry.

Mike Foate - yes LEC 3 (example www.sarasota-waterfront.com) comes with CMS 2 (all REW sites do) and control panel.

And the deadline for receipt of payment is 5PM pacific standard time - no late payments or orders will be accepted.

Thanks

Derrick - did you want 5 design / 5 programming?

Thanks for a great promotion and Happy Birthday REW! Please bill me for 50 hours. Not sure how I want to split that time in terms of design vs. programming but it will probably be mostly programming.

Also, please let me know if adding Microsoft Bird's Eye View to a site that already has Google Directions and Streetmaps would be redundant.

Jackie Fewell, I have forwarded your order of 5 design, 10 programming to Holly, thank you.

Shane (SCP) I have added your additional 5 hours to the billing queue. thanks

Jolenta, I have forwarded your 50 hour order to Holly - thanks so much! As for birds eye - is it redundant? That's really up to you - I don't think so as iti s completely different technology (others order all 3 quite often)

Holly should charge my card (which is on file) since I'll be out on showings all day. Do you have a link to an example of Bird's Eye? I thought it was essentially the same thing as StreetView so there must be something I'm missing. I think I'm going to add WalkScore to my Details page, too. People are wild about it here.

Definitely not the same

Example streetview - http://www.mckinneyhomerebate.com/idx/residential/11129807/map.html?map_type=street (down on the street level and it moves)

Example birdseye http://www.mckinneyhomerebate.com/idx/residential/11129807/map.html?map_type=microsoft (from the air)

btw if you could send an email to billing@realestatewebmasters.com just providing verified authorization of a 1 time charge on the card for $3750 USD for 50 promo hours at $75 per that would be awesome (then holly can bill it)

thanks

Hi Morgan - Please sign me up for 8 hrs of design/writing time. Do I have to let you know now how I would like the time split? I'm pretty sure you have a credit card on file.

Congrats Morgan!!

You guys are building me a custom site with IDX and I was wondering what is a must have for the IDX? I believe that we already have the Bird's eye view with the local board but what about street view? Would I be better off buying some design/programming hours as it looks like some of the mapping tools that I'd like would be custom and if so would I need design or programme hours? what about the XML/HTML? not sure what that is. My budget is limited so what would be the best bang for my buck?

Thanks!

Happy Birthday Morgan. You have built a business that is so superior in the industry. The future is endless for you. You have not heard from me because I have been on vacation. As you know I need help on my home page. How much time do you think it will take? I have a charge card on file.

Hi Morgan, I'd also like to add the birdseye to my site. OK for Holly to bill my card. Thanks,

Tina your order has been submitted thank you!

Larry Hann - I understand you have spoken to Ryland on the phone already.

Erika - as far as I know, you only have CORE IDX so any / all of the common IDX upgrades would be $ well spent as far as i'm concerned. Was just looking at what I (think) is your final mockup at http://comps.rewdev.com/mccann-erika/comp4c.jpg and it appears you already have a quick search, so no need to add that to your list. But if you like any of the cool advanced mapping tools, I don't think they will ever be more than 50% off, so now is a good time time buy.

Thanks Morgan. Where can I find what out what the mapping tools are and if my local board alraedy has some items like the birds eye view, would that automatically be added to the IDX or would that be a custom feature that REW would have to do?

Erika, what your local board has is not relevant, as we are talking a "built in" IDX that I have given you, which means unless you order the upgrade features, you won't have them by default. Your boards IDX platform / website is mutually exclusive from your REW IDX site.

Hope that helps.

Morgan,

Put me down for 10 in writing, 10 in design, 10 Programming = 30 hours Total

Morgan, thanks for those links. I understand the difference between Streetmaps & Birdseye now!

@Mark -- order through for invoicing, thank you.

$1100 total, charge my card on file, thanks.

5 hours design please

I'd like to have MS Bird's Eye View added at $150.

Wow, where have I been... Happy Bithday REW.

A Big thanks going out to Morgan & REW Staff for everything you've done over the years.

Ok guys - that's it - Promo is closed no more orders can be processed.

Mike Trinch - Bnic and Albert Bor all of your orders have been sent to processing - please remit payment immediately.

Thank you to everyone for making this our most successful promotion ever!

Thank you Morgan!

I am not sure if this was every brought up but how do we track our work orders? Since the hours/upgrades we purchased were on this blog and not on a new work order thread, what is the next step here to speak with our assigned designer/programmer?

Thanks.

How do you track them? Orders will be assigned in order of when they were received - as a member gets a new project assigned, they send an email to the customer stating who they are and what portion of thier project they are responsible for. When complete the member should also notify you that they are signing off.

At any time (this goes for any customer at any time and any REW project) you can always email production @ realestatewebmasters.com and request a status update. You need to include your name, URL and the details of the project requesting updates on (many times customers have many concurrent projects so we need to know which one you are inquiring about)

Yours specifically Mike should be quite far back in the queue as your orders was processed near the end of the promo.

i missed!
