Q: How can I use my immobel web site?

A: You can use your immobel web site as your primary web site or as to enhance your current web site. If you plan to have immobel web site as your main personal site, make sure you pick an easy-to-remember address for it.

If you already have a web site, you can add a link on it that will direct your foreign language customers to their language version. You can use the Update your Language Bar™ option to show a nice row of flags.

You can also use immobel web site as an IDX search for properties in your area. Pick the Template for frames option and add the search module to your web site.


Q: Do I have to set up immobel web page to display translated IDX listings on my web site?

A: Yes, you do have to set up your immobel web site, even if you plan to use it only as search module for your another web site. If you do not finish the setup wizard, your page will not be available for viewing.


Q: What's my IDX link?

A: Immobel does not provide a separate IDX link. If you want to have a link to IDX search on your other web site, pick Template for frames for your immobel web site, and use a link to your immobel web site as your IDX link.


Q: I want to link to my other web site. What should I do?

A: Immobel does not have access to your other web site, and we cannot modify it to include link to your immobel web site. You need to do this yourself or ask you other web site admin or support to do it for you.

We prepared some HTML code to show a nice set of flags linking to your immobel web site. All you need to do is to log in on your immobel web site, click on Update your Language Bar™ , and follow instructions to copy and paste the code. Not all web site vendors allow custom HTML code, consult you web site support.


Q: My photo will not upload. What can I do?

A: It's probably too big. Try resizing it in a photo editing software or send it to us.


Q: I have added links on “My links page” and they do not work. What should I do?

A: Check if the spelling is correct. All links should have “http://” if front, for example http://www.immobel.com/


Q: I want to know how many visitors view my web site. What should I do?

A: First you need to register to a free hit counter account on separate web site. Do a Google search for “free hit counter” or use one of the following: http://www.statcounter.com

This site will provide you with a piece of code that you need to copy and paste to your immobel web site. You can find the box to paste your code in the immobel control panel, when you click on the following links: Make changes to the site then Modify Advanced Options then Setup hit counter


Q: Can I add custom page, blog, change colors to match my other web site?

A: Yes, your page can be customized. This is not included in IDX web site package price and we charge an additional fee for that. Contact us for specific quote.


Q: After our broker site is completed, how much will it cost for updates to be made to the site?

A: For translations we will need the word count and language list to prepare a quote. On pictures, graphics and any layout changes, we bill at USD $90.00 per hour for the actual time it takes. We can provide an estimate of hours when we know what is to be done.


Q: I already have a website.  What option do I need to choose for my immobel web site address?

A: If you already have a web site and only plan to use immobel as secondary site (linked from the primary), you only need to select "subdomain of www.immobel.com". The subdomain can be anything, it doesn't have to be related to domain name.
Do not select Use domain you already own in this case.


Q: I already have bought a domain from another vendor. Can I use it for my immobel site?

A: Yes, just use the Use domain you already own option. However you still need to update domain settings at your domain vendor to make it work with your immobel site. You will receive e-mail with instructions after purchasing this option.


Q: Can I have multiple domain's pointing to my immobel web site?

A: Yes you can. Just use the Purchase domain or Use domain you already own function again.


Q: I purchased a domain from immobel.com and now I want to use it for another web site. What should I do?

A: Our policy is that we maintain domains only for immobel web sites. Since the domain is registered for you, you can transfer it out to another registrar (like http://godaddy.com) and use it for your other web site. For details contact us.


Q: I don't know what domain name should I choose?

A: As a rule of thumb it's better to choose a domain name indicating the region or location in which you are specializing, because people usually search for location, for example joplinhomes.net or homesinjeffersoncity.com.

A: If you already have a web site and plan to use immobel site as secondary, you don't need to have a separate domain.


Q: Can I add search keywords to <meta> tags of my site?

A: Yes, you can. MRIS agents have this option available under Advanced options. Other agents should contact us. There is additional charge for this option.


Q: Can you add another language to your list?

A: Currently we do not plan to add another language to our translation list. However, we collect all suggestions for a new language and we'll take them into consideration.
