Hundreds of thousands of mortgage and real estate professionals each year generate leads using their custom and/or template websites. Millions of new web sites for every possible niche pop up daily. Irrespective of the product and/or service, every site has a good or bad website design.

There is no argument that it is critical for mortgage brokers and agents to get their companies online. Still, most of them find it difficult to get a great website operational right away without costing an arm and a leg. There is a simple solution – get a pre-designed web site, but you should be able to modify the design and look of your new site. It should not look like yet an other cookie cutter template. But what if you get a pre-designed website and a professional designer to customize the chosen template for your exact needs.

The first order of business is to find a company offering ready-2-go real-estate and mortgage web templates. You need to do this to know if they have anything that you might be interested in and suits your specific business requirements. There are plenty of companies to pick from but no one is offering your own designer and a semi-custom solution in the price of a template other than iReadySites.com.

So the answer to the topic of this post is, you should be careful while choosing a design for your website. You should have the option to alter your chosen template to make it appear unique as well as the ability to add/modify default contents with ease.

Two more commercial mortgage web site templates have been updated and they are now available for selection:

Q. I need details on how i could have an commercial loan modification website built.

Q: How long will it take for my reverse mortgage web site to be designed?

Q: Will everyone see my web site the same?

Ans: Your website visitors will see some things differently depending on their browser, version, screen resolution setting and individual computer settings. We design sites with that in mind and preview them in many popular browser types and resolution settings before publishing. But obviously as technology alters then eventually all websites may need reevaluation.

A professional, user and search engine friendly, attractive website design is crucial for any online business including mortgage and real estate. Your web site is your virtual storefront and it is often the first impression that you make on the online loan seeks. iReadySites has the experienced designers and skilled web development staff that can create a perfect custom website for your business.

These interactive, dynamic sites draw in visitors and help businesses grow. A custom website design will make your organization easily accessible online, enhance your brand image and promote your mortgage company online.

There are many things web designers and especially the website owners feel ‘cool’ but they can instantly annoy any users. Below are some annoying web design choices that can put a real negative effect on your valuable traffic:

1. Auto-play: As per independent surveys most of the serious web traffic dislike auto-play on ads and video. But even above theme tunes can be killer.
2. Animated Text and/or Graphics: It was the call of the day a decade or ago, but amazingly still we find websites with animated text and graphics. Scrolling and blinking text also are elements which make a website look cheap and will instantly harm it’s reputation. The people who don’t instantly leave a site with moving text will find it distracting and frustrating to use if you are trying to read the blinking or scrolling content.
3. Pop-ups: Very very annoying. These Flash overlays that float across the page are also pop-ups in the eyes of most online visitors.
4. Drastic changes of font and background colors: Have you ever noticed why the default color for HTML text is pure black, the background is set to white and links are in blue and underlined. Answer is simple these contrasting colors really help people read the content of a web page and quickly spot out links to other pages.Unfortunately many web designers just for the sake of becoming different start changing these colors drastically and ruin usability.

   With little knowledge about CSS, web designers can for example have a black background with white text on top. Not only does this make the website dark and depressing, it’s slightly harder to read. So it’s best to limit your color choices, especially when you factor in the images (and possibly advertisements) that will appear on your website. As a rule of thumb, the fewer colors the better.

5. Unorthodox navigation: Yet again, just to look different, why do we use strange and new navigation styles and techniques? It’s good to be innovative but remember, it’s all about visitors.
6. Slow loading pages: The longer you have used the web for, the more likely your tolerance for slow load times will have dropped below the three second mark. There is a tendency, especially among young designers and newer site owners, to load flash content, scripts, and lots of graphics in new websites, often making it difficult to load pages within a couple seconds.
7. Broken Links: One of the most common website problems is having links on your pages that no longer work. Nothing is more frustrating to users than clicking on a broken link.

Can you upgrade later on and just pay the additional $200?

Yes, you can always upgrade from Professional to Premium by paying the difference.

Which template comes with the professional package?

You can choose any template.

Do I make the changes myself?

Professional websites have .html pages and you would need HTML knowledge along-with some HTML Editor to add/update contents.

Premium websites come with a built-in Content Management System to add/update unlimited website pages using your browser.

FREE Content Update:

We offer a 60 days free content update service (for both packages):

1. We’ll update text on any of the web pages you like (as many times as required). We’ll need the contents (i.e. text)  in digital format
   (i.e typed text in MS word, Text file or text typed in email). Scanned pages or PDFs won’t do.
2. We’ll change or insert images on any of the web page. But we’ll need images in digital format (.jpg, .gif, .png or psd format).
3. We’ll delete existing and/or create upto 10 new web pages. For Premium website there is no limit for new pages.
4. We’ll insert links to your Facebook or Twitter profile (if needed).

Following are not included in Free content update service:

1. Creating/designing new online form or application.
2. Adding or removing fields from existing online forms and applications.
3. Designing new images for the website.
4. Design updates to change overall look/layout of the website.
5. And any other change that is not listed in green above.

What do I actually have to do besides pay for the website?

As we don’t offer hosting, after the signup we’ll need access to your hosting to upload the website. Other than this if you want any changes, please send us the changes in typed format. We’ll do the rest.

What is the best price for a pro. com’l website template? i just need a template.

If the above question means, you already have a website (with contents and forms/applications) and just need a design to implement, then first we’ll need to look at your website before giving a realistic time and cost quote.

But if you need a complete commercial mortgage website then the cost is US $ 197 for Pro and US $ 397 for Premium.

So, i have to host with you?

Whether you purchase a pre-designed website from us or we just give a new look to your existing website, you don’t need to host with us. In fact we don’t offer hosting at all, you’ll need your own hosting and we’ll install the website there.

Do u sell the templates for me to use as I wish?

We sell pre-designed websites not templates like what you see on www.template******.com What we provide to commercial mortgage professionals is shown here ( demo site ): Commercial Mortgage Website Demo

And what you see in the above demo site is available in following designs Commercial Mortgage Website Templates

Is your template usable for dynamic, word press type site?

No they are not word press compatible.

They don’t come in graphic formats like PSD etc, so I am afraid your web co won’t be able to use it for your WordPress website.

When you purchase a template from us, you are actually purchasing a complete website with contents, online forms and applications (not just a design as you get on sites like template*******.com).
