Put it all on the level. If you've ever heard the question "Are you sure we're going to make our closing date?" from one of your homebuyers, then you understand the importance of good communication. There is an art to juggling a complicated building schedule, and homebuyers often don't understand that. Now you don't have to call them every time there is a scheduling change. Simply update the online calendar and they can view it at their leisure. You define which events are viewable by the homebuyer and which events are for your eyes only.     Hammer out the details. Miscommunication between you and your homebuyer can be very costly. A change order that didn't get written down, an upgrade that wasn't explained properly. These situations can cost you both dollars and a happy customer. Why not track all change orders and option selections in a central place that is viewable by both you and the homebuyer? No more confusion and finger pointing. And no more surprises at closing time.   Make sure your design measures up. You work hard at designing and building beautiful homes. We work hard at designing and building beautiful web sites. Often times, a web site is the only impression that potential homebuyers will have of your company. A poorly designed web site, or one that is difficult to navigate, may have them headed in the opposite direction. Make sure the quality of your work is reflected in the quality of your web site.   The nuts and bolts. Beyond the visual aspects, a web site can be a very practical tool. Use it to explain your approach to building houses, and differentiate yourself from the other builders out there. Use it to show off your latest projects. Use it to help your homebuyer make their buying decisions. Use it to sing the praises of your past customers. Use it to help those looking for a homebuilder, find YOU!   Your site does not have to put a tight grip on your budget. Unlike the building industry, the old saying "you get what you pay for" isn't necessarily true in web site design. There are many web designers out there that will charge outrageous prices for less-than-average work. If you're looking for a good quality web site with a professional appearance, insist on a designer that will give you the quality of work that you deserve. Take a look at the work that they have done. Talk to the clients that they have worked for. Make sure that you're getting what you pay for.     Call Front Porch Design now to put your your web site to work. 651-430-8056.
