Are you still cruising the information highway in that same old clunker?

You know sometimes a website can feel like car.

For example, if you’ve been driving the same old bucket of bolts for the past several years, you’re probably getting tired of it.

It’s getting worn around the edges – coffee stains on the seat, leather cracked on the door handle, air doesn’t blow cold.

The darn thing  just doesn’t seem to have the same pep it had when you bought it.

Then, you see the new cars that are out there. Bluetooth embedded in the dashboard for taking calls in your car. Pre-installed XMSirius radio providing every conceivable type of music on the planet. GPS integrated into the car to guide you around town.

Lots of cool features you don’t have.

If you’ve owned the same website for the past 5-10 years, you should be feeling the same way. Bored with it.

And there’s a real danger that visitors to the site are experiencing the same.

Don’t despair. Now there is incredible, super-user friendly website technology out there that can provide a full range of bells and whistles in a snap.

And the leader in that technology is WordPress.

Sure, you might of heard of it. What’s the big deal?

Consider these stats – there are 74,000,000 WordPress sites. Not bad for a company that started a few years ago.

Consumers like WordPress sites. Every month about 350 million users visit websites built on the WordPress platform. They look at a whopping 2.5 BILLION pages.

People who own WordPress sites apparently like them as well. On an average day, there are approximately 500,000 new blogs posted and 400,000 comments written.  Daily.

Seems to me, with those numbers WordPress just might be offering something worthwhile.

As a real estate professional with or without a website, these numbers should pique your interest.

Home Junction Inc., real estate veterans and creators of the popular IDX and lifestyle search engine, SpatialMatch, saw the incredible benefits that WordPress could provide to those in the real estate business.

The sites are easy to create, easy to update, easy to expand and easy to optimize for search engines. Perfect for real estate.

Since the latest stats indicate 97% of people start their search for an agent or home on the web, you want (need) to use a platform that makes it easy to keep your site current and competitive.

So, on a variation of a famous saying, the Home Junction management team liked it so much they created (not bought) a company that specializes in WordPress sites for real estate.
