Continuing with my discussion<\/a> of the bribe\/gifts proffered to the contributors to Agent Blunderbuss<\/a>, here’s a quick look at MyMarketWare.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I looked at this product when it was introduced and was not all that impressed. I like it better on second glance.<\/p>\n

What is it? YASPWSS: Yet Another Single Property Web Site Solution. Like many of these services, the offering is pretty light-weight. And like seemingly all of them, it inflicts treacly music upon the end user. But, to be fair, the price for a site, hosted for a year, ain’t bad.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, as you read, that my frame of reference is our own engenu<\/em> sites<\/a>. I can do anything I want, to any level of detail or depth that I want, and I can reorganize an entire, huge web site on a whim. There is no YASPWSS on the market that is going to impress me.<\/p>\n

MyMarketWare works to one level deep. That is, from a site’s “home” page, you go one level down, no deeper. Given that architecture, I would have loved to have seen at least the on-site links done within an iframe on the index page — pseudo AJAX.<\/p>\n

You can link to off-site pages, which is a bonus, since it makes the sites effectively infinitely extensible.<\/p>\n

The pages of the sites themselves are built in ASP, with a huge block of obfuscated code near the top of each one. Positioning on the pages is effected with both CSS and<\/em> HTML tables, which seemed odd to me. MyMarketWare promises decent SEO from these pages, but they seemed very verbose, to my eyes.<\/p>\n

I personally want a lot<\/em> more photos than MyMarketWare makes available, and I want to be able to sort and organize them by category. The slide show software, apparently available on one page only, was fairly robust.<\/p>\n

There are decent contact and scheduling forms, and MyMarketWare promises to feed your site’s details to various Realty.bots — which is probably also being done by other vendors you are using.<\/p>\n

My overall rating of MyMarketWare’s demo single-property web site<\/a> was “eh” but not inadequate. It does a decent job at what it does, but Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
