Bernadot Studios and PlugandPress.com have teamed together to launch a new Premium Real Estate Theme for WordPress. The theme has been under development for 4 months and was just launched this weekend. I am incredibly proud to be a part of this project and thank Carlos of PlugandPress.com for all of his work and patience.

Why did this theme take so long to build?

Simply put, we wanted the theme to be easy to use.

We spent considerable time and money investing in the administration portion of the theme to help home sellers list their properties easily while looking professional to their clients. Here are the main features of the new theme:

• Beautiful, elegant themes
• Five colors included: sea blue, red, navy blue, gold and black
• Agent can publish picture with biography
• Top-Level link to add property listing
• Easily publish your home details (including bathrooms, bedrooms, images and lots more)
• “No Custom Fields” to hassle with when posting property details and images
• Images are auto thumbnailed and display full-size with a cool pop-up slideshow
• Featured properties rotate on home page with agent
• Cool Property Search Options - includes dropdowns and search box
• Agents page to display biography and properties for sale
• Payment Calculator
• Ad Banner Management
• 100+ hours into programming, designing and preparing these themes for you.

This is theme is intended for a single agent. We will be releasing the Multi-Agent Theme in December.

Also, all of the WP-Realtor.com licenses are on sale right now, so make sure to check out the Special Pricing.

My design objectives of the site:

Bernadot Studios provided DigiSage with a home page and sub page design, and then Bob and Tim took it from there.

What a fun project this has been. I was approached by Ted Stein, President of Stein Counseling and Consulting Services of Onalaska, WI, to design a site that would better serve the needs of his customers and staff, while also generating passive income through the site. The new site delivers on all marks and is easily manageable by Ted and his staff.

How we did it!

When I say we, I have to give a big thank you to Bob and Tim Lindner from DigiSage. Their knowledge, expertise and professionalism made meeting the challenges of this site a breeze. They developed three additional modules (i.e. Workshop/Event Management, Information Request Form and Request Appointment Form) for the site and together we seamlessly integrated them into the WordPress framework. This helps Ted’s visitors easily sign up for events, classes and workshops right online, as well as quickly making appointments or receiving more information about a topic of interest.

As I mentioned, I built this site within the WordPress framework, giving Ted and his staff the ability to easily manage their site. This includes posting articles, updating pages and images, inserting video, etc.

In addition, I also introduced a banner ad management system, so Ted can sell and place ads throughout the site. The ad management administration is easy and painless and is a great way to attract advertisers and make money though affiliate programs. This was one of the major improvements over the old site, and will surely generate additional revenue for the business.

How does the new site compare to the old one?

• New fresh , professional design that allows visitors to easily locate the information they are looking for
• Site is designed using WordPress for easy site management
• Search Engine Friendly - Each page/post can be optimized
• Visitors can sign-up online for classes, events and workshops online - payment can be made with a credit card
• Secured forms are used to help visitors make appointments or request more information
• A banner ad management system is in place to sell, place and track ads with ease
• Amazon products can easily be added to the site to help people find inexpensive solutions as recommended by professionals
