Sneak peek of the changes coming to your XSite
Written by a la mode on April 17, 2014
Over the last few months, we’ve upgraded our XSites engine in the agent and mortgage markets. We’re wrapping up those changes for Appraiser XSites now. Here's what to expect in just a few weeks — specifically mid-May.
Log into your admin from any browser (not just Internet Explorer)
All major PC and Mac browsers are supported without any extra steps. So, whether you’re using Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or IE, you’ll be able use your site’s admin area. This way you can make changes to your XSites without switching back and forth between browsers. It's been a big request from our customers.
Mobile-friendly themes without Flash
You'll have a few new completely mobile-friendly, flash-free themes available. These simple themes display the same on mobile devices as they do in desktop or laptop browsers. Better still, they represent our first steps to developing a complete library of modern, adaptable, site designs. The navigation moves the right way, content doesn’t need to be zoomed in and out and the images show nicely without taking up the entire screen.
To give you an idea of what they'll look like, here's a screenshot of the Mortgage XSites theme on mobile devices:

More intuitive Contacts Manager
A new Contacts Manager is being introduced too. It's faster and will give you better searching and sorting. Plus, you can add contacts to your XSellerate campaigns right from the new manager just by checking a box. For instance, if you meet a new attorney at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, simply add him to your contacts database (like you normally would), and hit a checkbox to add him to your expert witness e-mail campaign — no extra steps.
Be on the lookout for these changes. We're working quickly to get them in your hands as soon as possible.
And if you'd like to try them out early, let us know. We're going to customize a few Appraiser XSites before we release. That way, we'll have even more example websites to link to in our announcements, so customers can see the new themes in action. These sites will get a great new look and improvements throughout. If you're interested, simply send an e-mail to info@alamode.com.
Stay tuned for even more too. This is just the beginning. We're working on our new Theme Architect that makes the XSites design options truly limitless. The new structure is way ahead of the curve. It will also make every element of the XSites fundamentally mobile-friendly.
Lastly, if you missed the news about the new Fee Quote page, click here to check it out. We released it a few months ago and got excellent feedback. Appraisers started getting new orders right away. If you haven't enabled it, you should do that now. It's a really simple way to get more leads.
