FAQs

When should I start thinking about technology for my business?

"Corporations that do not embrace the Internet as a core element in their competitive strategy could be risking their very existence." Bill Gates 1999

Agents - If you are an agent, you should think about it starting today if you have not already implemented anything. The landscape is constantly shifting. The traditional way of doing business is still effective, however, you have a new breed of clients surfing the Internet who are either looking for products and services to buy or agents to represent them. Unlike ten or even five years ago, now there are three-entry points for buyers and sellers that include telephone inquiries, walk-ins, and the Internet.

Brokers or Small Business Owners - If you are a broker, you should think about technology integration today if you have not already implemented anything. Brokers and Small Business are in a highly competitive environment with competition from other Competitors, Real Estate brokers, banks and Insurance companies. The Internet has created a borderless environment for all avenues. This environment has developed a different business models. With auction sites, fee base services and salary base agents, the brokers and small business owners must transform and adopt technology more rapidly and aggressively than Agents. Brokers and small business owners must evolve and develop a full service (one-stop service) business model to keep current clients and attract new clients. The value chain business model must be the integral part of the business operation.

Why should I have a web site or web page?
If you are a real estate professional or and small business owners you need an online presence. Although, there is a difference between a web page and a website, ( a page is like a desk in the broker office while a site is a broker office) a web page is nothing more than a flyer while a website is an entity that communicates your products and services, business goals, visions, strategy and action plane. A website is an extension of your store front in cyberspace. It needs deployment, managed and evolves.

I want a web site, but I don't know much about design. How do I go about knowing what is best for my business?
Designing a website is just one aspect of the process of building a website (cyber store). As in the real traditional world, to build something, you need an architect, carpenter, roofer, electrician, etc. When we think of design, it's easy to think of the glitz, the graphics. But the truth is that although they are important, they are not the most important aspect of the site. Interface design is responsible for radically important things like the stability of your surfer's web site experience. For example, how a surfer navigates around your web site, finding and/or not finding the products, services and information they seek is part of that. How information is structured, relates to one another, is organized, is also interface design. In the long run, interface design is much more important than graphic design. Web developers who have interface design skills can provide graphic design, but this is not true in reverse. Remember, a web site doesn't need to be completely graphic dependent to be well designed. Resources center for more information It is usually advisable to contract a professional web developer and designer firm to handle design, implementation, and maintenance of your website. Monitoring, maintaining and evaluating a web site is a full time job and the majority of real estate professionals and small business owners do not have the time or skills to dedicate to this task. Find a group who understands your needs and can help develop the best web site for your budget and needs. Contact an Uwel.com representative for more information on our web site development services.
