TheMoveChannel's new Website Packages, which include everything from site architecture planning to text copywriting and web hosting, is an absolute snip, starting from just £1995 for a fully functioning website...

Having an impressive, slick and streamlined website that attracts users rather than alienating them is a must for any business, but particularly for property agents, where searching and browsing listings is an integral part of the necessary functionality.

Many agents are frightened by the cost of developing a new website, as the costs for this kind of technology often run to tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds. But it doesn't need to blow a huge hole in your annual marketing budget, as you can now harness the systems and platform of TheMoveChannel.com's for a tiny fraction of the cost of setting up your own site from scratch.

Budget Website Package

The first step is to take your existing content and to come up with new design templates based on your existing look and feel for the homepage, menu pages, search results, property details and all other content pages.

The Property Search Engine part of the package will include database structure, interactive search forms, listings results, dynamic reordering and search filters, details pages and an enquiry system complete with data validation.

On the back end, Property Database Hosting offers a full property database hosting, maintenance and management service with full data backups and the Listings Manager allows you to add, edit and remove property listings quickly and easily. Of course, you can automatically add your properties to TheMoveChannel.com with no extra effort!

Enquiry Routing allows you to send property enquiries to your chosen recipient in a simple, effective manner, while all enquiries are visible in the Online Enquiry Manager.

Web Hosting comes as part of the service; the first 12 months are free and then it is charged at £30 per month.

SEO-Ready Website Package

A more involved and enhanced solution, the first step with this package is to come up with a Site Architecture Plan, in which we structure the content of the site and design the navigation system to ensure it works perfectly for search engines.

All the elements of the Budget Website remain in place, but additional copywriting services deliver text content for up to five fixed pages on the site.

Key to this version of the site are the Homepage Links, which provide a fixed, search engine friendly route into the property results for different locations and different product types. The back-end SEO Manager allows you to manage the meta data and on-page elements that play a key part in optimizing your pages for the phrases you target.

This solution dovetails perfectly with our SEO Service, which provides you with a strategic plan for choosing the right phrases, optimizing your site for them and then moving up the rankings as the tactics are implemented. A £1000 discount on the SEO Service applies for customers who take the SEO-Ready Website Package.

Also part of the package is a simple to use online Content Management System, which allows you to add news, blogs or other content to your site, without needing to know any programming code at all.

Last but not least is the Client CRM System, which allows you to allocate and update client enquiries, store and retrieve client profiles, schedule calls, set tasks and view activity reports. This is free for three months, and then charged at £75 per month.

With both packages, additional work can be requested at highly competitive day rates, with our team of experienced developers, designers and copywriters available at short notice.
