Substantial update coming to your XSite
Written by a la mode on December 5, 2014
We're releasing an update to Appraiser XSites that you're going to love. The XSites Admin will now work in all major browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, IE 9, 10, 11). See all the changes below and watch your inbox for the notice when your site has been updated.
Less Flash, more mobile
We've updated the look and feel with gorgeous "adaptive" designs. Two new themes display the same on mobile devices as they do in desktop browsers. So, if a visitor hits your page from a Macbook, Android tablet, iPhone, or iPad, they get a layout that's perfectly tailored to their screen size and can easily order an appraisal too. It's incredibly polished and makes your site look like a million bucks.
Better, faster Contact Management
Contact management is one of those necessary evils. Every appraiser knows they should do a better job of managing contacts, but who has the time to fiddle with slow, complex contact management systems? That’s why we’ve rewritten the entire XSites Contacts interface from the ground up to be faster, easier, and more intuitive. Here are just a few of the impressive new things you’ll get with the new XSites Contacts system:
- A new "marketing activities" menu that lets you kick off XSellerate marketing campaigns to get more new business and referrals.
- Geo-targeting by address, so you can quickly pull up all your contacts in a geographic area.
- New “Quick Details” for each of your contacts quickly shows you e-mail, phone number, and address as you scroll. This way, you don't have to open each one individually.
Best of all, we’ve made dramatic speed improvements to the XSites Contacts system. When the update goes out, make sure you jump in to your Admin area and click the Contacts icon at the top of the screen to check out all of the new features.
Edit web pages from any browser
The page editor has been completely rewritten from the ground up to work in your favorite browser. The look is slightly different, but all your editing tools are still there.
No more IE Compatibility Mode
Because we will no longer require Internet Explorer to log in to your XSite, you no longer have to use Internet Explorer’s Compatibility Mode – in fact, once the update goes live, we encourage you to disable it using instructions found in here.
Get visitor contact information with new professional eBooks
Our marketing pros have put together five impressive eBooks for you to offer site visitors. They'll fill out a form giving you their name, number, and e-mail address, then get a guide on topics you choose (including divorce appraisal, appraisal jargon, challenging taxes, and more). From there it's easy to follow up with your potential new client.
When you get our e-mail saying site's been updated, have a poke around your XSite admin (in whatever browser you prefer)! And be sure to select a new adaptive themes. We know you’ll like what you see.
