Domains
Why should I use a Domain Name?
Configuring a domain is important because it makes your site more visible and memorable to potential clients. In addition, you can submit it to the major search engines so you get even more exposure. Plus, you can start using it on your business cards, e-mail signature, brochures, flyers, postcards, etc. Today's clients expect their agent to have a great web presence, and your website on its own domain name will give you even more credibility!
I already have a Domain Name - how do I use it with my Agent Site? ...pointing your Domain Name to our web servers
*Important Note* If you already have a domain that is in use, and already have active email accounts on the domain, then contact us before pointing the domain to our servers. (we don't want you to loose any emails!)

In order for a domain name to work with our web servers, the domain's "name servers" must be updated to point to rewebtech's web servers. This way when visitors go to your domain they are forwarded to rewebtech web servers that display your website. Pointing the domain name to our servers is simple - but some feel it is a bit technical. Don't be scared! The company where you purchased your domain will help you and it should only take a phone call of 5-10 minutes to have your domain name configured to point to your website on our server.
Call the company where you purchased the domain name, and talk to tech support. Have them update the "Domain Name Servers" for your domain name, to these values:
     ns1.rewebtech.com
     ns2.rewebtech.com

After submitted, it may take up to 48 hours for the change to propagate throughout the internet.
What if I don't yet have a Domain Name?
Not a problem! No need to wait for a domain name to be configured - we will deploy it on our web servers for you, and you can begin to customize your website while finding your perfect domain name. You can even have it completely customized before it goes "live" on your domain!
Where can I purchase a Domain Name?
Purchasing a domain name can be done through several major domain name companies, and since it requires searching to ensure a unique name, and (most importantly) since it's your website, we always suggest you purchase the domain name yourself so you own it. Here's just a few links for companies that sell domain names:

     Go Daddy       Aplus.net       Network Solutions
Can I have a personalized email on my Domain Name? ...such as name@domain.com
Yes! You can have up to 5 personalized email addresses on your Agent Site domain name. Here's some examples:
  yourname@domain.com   or   contactme@domain.com   or   info@domain.com
And/or you can even have it forwarded to another email, such as a yahoo or hotmail account.

Agent Site Features
What is a Landing Page?
A Landing Page, sometimes known as a lead capture page, is the page your visitor reaches after he/she clicks on your link or ad online, or enters a web page found on a mailer, flyer, business card, etc. It is essential that the landing page works in conjunction to your ad text. If your ad gives a brief offer in a compelling marketing proposition, the landing page must display additional information and begin to answer the visitor's questions so their interest is sustained. The landing page must also have relevant and trustworthy content and offer an easy for the visitor to respond. Click here to see a video on Landing Pages
What can I do with the Background Photos?
You can easily change and upload background photos via the Control Panel. This is a great way to keep your site fresh and continually updated. You can also use photos to showcase your listings, or to highlight a specific property, or to win a listing by uploading photos of the property to your site prior to the listing presentation!

Setting up & Customizing your Agent Site
How do I customize my Agent Site?
When your Agent Site is created a Control Panel account will be generated for you, which you will use to manage you site. You can use it to setup and modify your website settings including: Personal Info, Photos, Fly-in Text, Featured Listings, Testimonials, Name Plate, Home Search options, and much more!
Is there any training to help me get started?
Yes! Once your Agent Site is deployed feel free to request an online training meeting to walk you thru the first-steps of setting up your website. In addition there is absolutely no charge for technical support via email, telephone, fax, or postal mail! ;)

Placing an Order
Is my order safe & secure?
Yes! Your credit card processing is handled by a high-grade shopping cart system that features 128bit SSL encryption for credit card processing. It is processed over a secure connection on secure servers. Secure Socket Layers (SSL) are used to encrypt all credit card information you provide before sending it to their servers. SSL is the industry standard and the best software available for secure online transactions. The VeriSign Secure Site Seal assures you that the web site has been authenticated and that confidential transactions are secured by SSL encryption.
VeriSign Secured
Where do I enter my promo code?
If you have a promo code you'll need to enter it on the Personal Information step, as you customize the setup of your Agent Site. The promo code will be checked/validated can enter that in a few steps, and it confirmation of it will be displayed on the Order Summary as well.
...what if I don't have a promo code? Don't hesitate to contact us and see if we have any specials going on!

Where do I login to the Control Panel?

What if I forgot my Password?
The Control Panel has a built-in function to reset your password if you forgot it. On the login page click the "Forgot Your Password" button, enter your email address, and your password will be reset and sent to you. Since your password will be sent in an email, it's a good ideea to change it after you login to the Control Panel.

Search Engine Optimization
How does Google Search work?
One of the most common questions asked by Agent Site owners is "How do I get good page rankings on Google?"  To answer that question it helps to first understand how Google search works - so you know how your website is examined by search engines, and why it might be chosen to rank for a particular keyword. Google's Matt Cutts has created a very insightful video that will help you understand how search works.
