Default Pictures on the page

Here is a link to the listing we are discussing: http://www.cathymeder.com/idx/cms/15/details.html

I have 32 pictures on this listing and the problem is the page must be scrolled so far down to hover over the thumbnail that the "Big Picture" can't be seen. Can this dreadful problem be corrected? Without deleting some of the pictures... 1024X768

Hello,

A couple ideas come to mind - both involve a work order to redesign of the details pages.

- One would be to have us change it so the listings images are on the right of the main image - then the information would fall below the photos.

- One would be to put them into a scrolling div sort of like this details page http://www.marylandhomesandproperty....9/details.html

With the second option it might be possible to leave the images in the location they are currently in - just put them in a scrolling div so only the first 20 images show.

Aaron,

I like the Maryland Homes example best b/c the main picture appears to be larger - is it larger and can it be made even a little bigger?

Do you have a time estimate?

The images that are added to the listings manager are resized to fit the dimensions when uploading so the images you have uploaded are this size .. http://www.cathymeder.com/images/lis...2107062650.jpg we could change that to either not resizethe images or make them resize larger.

The images would remain in the same location - but they would be in the scrolling div and it would take about an hour to change.

How long to create a viewer that will open in a separate pop up to show the pictures in, say, 640 x 480 and a scroll just below. Something like realtor_com uses; see: http://www.realtor.com/realestate/ke...52-1100537766/ and then click the "See all 25 Photos" button. A window pops up that shows all the pics. If you have any ideas/examples that would be great. What is your estimate for a tool like that?

And, would this development be covered under the promo?

For something like they have on realtor.com I would estimate a 8-10hr project would cover it.

This one is a bit simpler http://www.sandiegorealestatebuzz.co...7/details.html - (click the thumbs) it's about a 3hr project to implement that.

Or like this slide show http://www.nutshellrealty.com/mls-de...l-20084925.php ( Click the "Slide Show" link just above the map) - 3hr project to implement that.

No - Only products listed in the blog post http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...rey/6585/show/ are part of the promo.

Thanks, I will hold off on doing this now and save up for a viewer like this one on sandiegorealestatebuzz. I really like that.

Thanks
