New Website Design for Astras Prestige Property!

This week we completed our design for Astras Prestige Property. The design was centered around the idea of elegant functionality, allowing users to choose their own search method quickly and effortlessly.

iDashboard Real Estate Software iProperty

Ease of use was a key point in the design criteria for this office.

In developing this site, iProperty focused on key features to ensure ease of use and intuitive functionality through the following key features!

Interactive Map Search enables users to search by location. Integrated with Google maps, Map Search enables potential buyers to compare listed properties in terms of price, location and features. Clients can view features and compare features and amenities in the area without leaving the page. Click here to try for yourself.

Language Select controls the dialect of the website. Astras has asked us to integrate this feature to reach an international market. With increasing investment from overseas, not to mention the multilingual buyer environment, a language option will offer a premium service to the investors market and increase website accessibility to buyers. Click here to view more website features available through iProperty!

Centralised homepage creates minimum clicks to find that ideal property. We want our sites to be user friendly and intuitive to use. With 19 direct links to key pages, users find what they want quickly.

Feature Property can be selected and updated by the agency as often as required. This is displayed on the homepage and adds premium value to the vendor and increased hits for the property listing.  Astras have chosen a single image to display their prestige property, highlighting the key features of their listing, simply and elegantly. With iProperty website design, spaces can be completely customised. Click here for a style guide on website designs.

Multiple Contact Channels are essential for clients to find you quickly and easily. Astras have chosen an overlaying contact number in the top right hand corner which will display on all pages throughout the site. Homepage contacts also include eMag, automatic email subscription, email contacts and a Contact Us link with street address, maps and all other available revenues of contact.

Up to Date Company Information Keep regular clients coming back with up to date information about your company and staff through new and updated information. Astras are currently using a Company Profile page to add all the local property news into their site, easily managed through the CMS. Other clients of ours are creating regular updates for newsletters, blogs and competitions. Click here for an example of a clients’ blog.

Based in Robina, Queensland Astras Prestigue Property have been running a successful real estate business for over 10 years. Their key design criteria in their website redesign was simple functionality and elegant design. There was an emphasis on quick accessibility and dialect control for overseas investors.

HeyTell – a new way to Instant Message!

Keeping in touch when you’re on the go has never been easier!

HeyTell, the latest iPhone application from Voxilate combines the benefits of SMS without the inconvenience of typing on the move!

HeyTell works by sending instant voice message which can be stored for future reference. Sending an instant message is easy. Simply hold down the button and when you have finished recording, release it. Your message is sent instantly.

Your contact can reply straight away or respond at a later time. HeyTell is a great free app to download and check out – or you can upgrade and use the group function to send a bulk message to work colleagues, friends, family or even clients. Use HeyTell as an alternative to email or text message to make contact without the hassle of text typing.

We’ve found one benefit is you use it and forget about spelling, typing and the ambiguities of written communication.

iProperty is using this system for in-house communication and are looking for ways our clients can benefit from this technology in
the office environment and throughout the business systems.

Evernote keeps you organised - great for busy real estate agents!

Keep track of everything with Evernote!

Yes – it’s been around for years, but we love this app so much that we can’t believe we’ve never written about it!

This time we’re talking about Evernote – a highly advanced bookmarking system that allows you to store notes, attachments, images – pretty much everything you’ll see on a day to day basis on the web using your PC, Mac or Phone.

Featuring an amazingly powerful search function, you can use Evernote to retrieve old notes, saved files and ideas that would normally be forgotten aobut. It means questions like “what was that website I was looking at the other day…” and  “what did that guy say on that blog?” are no longer stumbling blogs as Evernote retrieves it in seconds.

Evernote helps you to organise your favourite recipe, newspaper articles, photos, newspaper articles and that blog post you didn’t
have time to read! You can use Evernote for lists, events, social media or even search for locations in map view. Click on the map icon to display every entry with a location will display on your page. Use the map to zoom in and find more information about the event, friend’s house, or other location information.

Evernote keeps you organised - great for busy real estate agents!

“Evernote for iPhone lets you create notes, snap photos, and record voice memos that you can then access any time from your iPhone,
computer, or the web.”

When typing a note in Evernote, you can also attach a voice note, (up to 90mins audio), photos to this note.

Evernote automatically saves the location of your note! Use Evernote to create folders such as Business Notes or Places to Visit!

It’s great. Why don’t you download it and see how much of a time saver it can be!

Sugar Sync app – stay on top of your files wherever you are!

Presently we’re trialling a new system for online backup and file synchronisation called Sugar Sync.

With so much information to backup, send and retrieve, an efficient file sharing system is absolutely essential to maintain an efficient workflow, personally and professionally. With many of our clients working on location,  iProperty has identified a need and is presently trialling a few cloud-based backup solutions.

With Sugar Sync, it’s been a case of  “so-far, so good”.  Sugar Sync is a web-based file storage system that lets you keep all your files and folders in sync. With all your docs available anywhere, anytime – you’ll never feel held at ransom as your files are stuck at home or in the office again! With all of your data stored in your own Personal Cloud, you can retrieve and sync your files on other PC or Mac computers –  and mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone, Android, and more.

With online backup, it gives you the power to decide which folders you want to backup on any of your computers. And when you update any of your files from any of your computers – the Sugar Sync system keeps a version history of up to the last 5 revisions so you can choose to revert at any stage!

On the mobile, not only can you access your personal or work related files – you can stream rich media such as music and videos. When it comes to team collaboration, you can set any file or folder to be publically accessable or with password access. This can be achieved via your computer or phone. Having files backed up and shared by your whole team on a cloud server is sure to be a life-saver – think of those moments when the design or marketing team are finishing that presentation, and you’re racing off to the venue!

Sugar Sync is also backed by strong reviews globally, a 5 star rating at CNET and has a dedicated app for maximum benefit on smartphones and iPad. Check it out – www.sugarsync.com

Chilcott website – a multiple agency real estate group

iProperty has built a new website for Chilcott Real Estate, a group with 7 offices and an increasing presence in the South Asia Pacific region.

Across Australia the Chilcott group handle land estates, over 55s retirement property, and residential, commercial and rural sales and property management.

The new website has an office finder, agent finder, and property search facility that allows the visitor to switch between regions. Powered by iDashboard and our real estate website platform, visitors will find the website to be brisk, functional and well designed.

Chilcott Real Estate - new website by iProperty

After only one design revision, Matthew Chilcott instructed us to proceed with the striking new artwork. We provided the testing site for them within a few days. We allowed them time to become familiar with the site and come back to us with any questions while the support team provided them a training session on our software.

The Chilcott group are really pleased with the solution, and another happy customer is exactly what makes us pleased!  To the team at Chilcott – we wish you the very best!
