Chris McMillan’s website, HomeTeamChris.com, is another real estate website that uses the IDX feed from the MLS to display real estate listings. Chris’s home page displays a selection a recently listed homes in the Punta Gorda area, and a simply search form appears in the sidebar to encourage visitors to engage with the site immediately. The sidebar search form links to the Advanced Search that offers more search criteria options, including price range, size, property type, and whether or not to include foreclosed and bank-owned properties.

This site offers recent sales reports so that visitors can see the average recent selling prices of homes, condos and lots in the local area. Chris is using WordPress’s built-in blogging capabilities to enhance his “brand” and attract more visitors to the site.

Everyone knows about the Honor Flight chapters around the country that honor WWII veterans (as well as other vets) by transporting them to Washington, D.C., to visit the veterans memorial. Not everyone has an opportunity to help these chapters, but Tropical Web Works jumped at the chance to build the local Southwest Florida Honor Flight chapter a new web site, pro bono.

This is a small site with only a handful of pages, but since it’s built using WordPress, it’s ready whenever the chapter is ready to start blogging about their activities.
