Your XSite just got a major upgrade

Written by on August 30, 2016

Your XSite has always been a powerful website to help you land high-fee, non-lender work. And we’ve made it even better.

Here’s a list of some of the big things that we’ve added lately and what's live for your Appraiser XSite as of today:

7 new designs exude credibility on every device
Switch to one of the seven mobile-friendly layouts. (And more on the way!) From there, customize until you're completely happy with colors, our image library, pre-written appraisal pages, and more. The possibilities are endless.

It all scales perfectly from the largest monitors to the smallest phone screens — like websites that cost thousands. Better still, Google prefers mobile-friendly websites like these, so you'll likely show up higher in search results.

Plus, we've gotten rid of the Flash, so visitors won't see "plugin needed" prompts.

Note: You can bring over the website edits from your classic XSite to a new design or switch to our new mobile and Google optimized content.


Personalizing your homepage is much, much easier
Customizing our pre-built homepages is a breeze with simplified tools. Edit text, add your own images, create tables (for things like fees), and more. Everything is “what you see is what you get.” So no worries about making a mistake.

New “What’s an Appraisal” video on your XSite
Just for you, we produced a one-minute video explaining the work that goes into an appraisal, and why your potential clients need one. It’s a great way to show homeowners why an appraisal is far more complete than an online estimate.

When this page is live on your XSite, this video will play on any device. More videos are on the way too!


Coverage maps for touch screens
Like the new layouts, your service map works great on mobile devices. Visitors can zoom in and out on specific areas by simply pinching the screen. County names show up with a tap, too.


And more…
As with any update, you’ll find a host of performance improvements and tweaks. You’ll notice:

  • The Frequently Asked Questions page has been restyled to be less cluttered and more readable.
  • New, more modern device images are used in the mobile notification widgets.
  • You see your widgets in the home page editor in Step 5, exactly where they’ll be on your website.
  • The SEO sitemap tool now places the meta name data into your XSite.
  • Page titles now display perfectly in every browser tab.

Enough talk. Click here to try a new design and see what's new.

With the slower fall season around the corner, now is the ideal time to freshen up your website. You should even kick off XSellerate campaigns to proactively let them know about your non-mortgage services. After all, when you put your XSite with XSellerate to work, you’ll drum up higher fee orders from attorneys, real estate agents, homeowners, and more.

Or, if you have any questions along the way, hit reply or call us.

As always, thanks your business and for suggestions. Most of these improvements grow from appraiser ideas, so keep them coming.
