Agent website design referrals?

[Tiffany Plovie]

I am reaching out to the BP community to ask for help, advice and insight!

   I am in the process of building a brand new website. I would like it to convey who I am and what I do in professional manner. It needs to be able to link both to the mls (so that my clients can set up search options), contain links to my listings and contact forms and a link to my blog.

  I would like something that I could customize or have built for me from scratch. I also would like the ability to access and change the text of my website without going through a third-party.

  Whew! I know I am asking for a lot, but surely someone out there has gone through a similar process!!

   What companies did or did not work for you? Are there any build-it-yourself templates that would fit what I am asking?

Thank you in advance!
