Making a Real Estate Website

[Mike Guenther]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a URL and am looking to create a new real estate website. I was hoping for some advice from more experienced investors on best practices to use!

- I know I first need to find a website hosting service. I was looking at using Bluehost as their price is pretty low ($2.75/month) for their basic package and it looks like it offers everything I need. Totally open to recommendations though!

- I was planning to use WordPress for the actual designing of the website as most websites recommend using it. Again open to suggestions.

- Lastly, I am looking for inspiration from other great sites. If you have a great site, or know of one that is the gold standard, throw the link in the comments for me to check out!

Thanks in advance!

@Mike Guenther There are a lot of real estate website developers out there if you choose to go that route, Carrot is a popular choice. If you are trying to be more hands on, it sounds like you are on the right track as far as getting setup. BlueHost is pretty solid for hosting and is relatively cheap. You will likely need a wordpress theme designed for real estate, that has some sort of CRM built into it. I would recommend looking at themeforest for a variety of real estate themes. Additionally optimizing the site for SEO, I would recommend starting with a plugin like Yoast.
