Update Horizon template (KYSelectProperties.com) to new Pro Site for Remax-Mammoth.com #263

Closed Battler45 closed 4 years ago

Battler45 commented 4 years ago

Vihang,

For our next Pro Site, we will be converting an existing design (http://www.kyselectproperties.com) to a new Pro Site for http://www.remax-mammoth.com.

I've set up a new website here:

Which is accessible via FTP at:

67.199.110.220 remax-mammoth_dev

using the normal password. Once you FTP into the site, you'll see that I have already copied over the site files from the KYSelectProperties.com version of the site. If you go to the default page for this site:

You'll see that there are still some formatting issues in the HTML / CSS of this and the other site pages. Arthur (new programmer) has FTP access to this site and is curently working on fixing those (should be done by tomorrow or Friday).

In the meantime, can you get started updating the constants_client.asp and constants_client_specific.asp files for this site, and then also create the default pages (Home, Contact, About RE/MAX of Mammoth, Meet Our Team, About Mammoth, Careers, Privacy Policy) and a blog with default blog post?

We don't need a "Community Info" page for this site.

For the neighborhood / community pages, the site will have the following sections:

  • Mammoth Lakes Subdivisions (/mammoth-homes/)
  • Mammoth Lakes Condos (/mammoth-condos/)
  • Mammoth Lakes Project Areas (/mammoth-lakes-real-estate/)
  • Mono County Communities (/)
  • Inyo County Communities (/)

Then, for the Condos and Subdivisions sections, the client has prepared a content template for each type (attached). In this document, there are two templates -- one for the Subdivisions pages, and one for the Condos pages. Upon reviewing this document, I believe you'll be able to make sense of what the client is looking for, and it requires a bit more flexibility than our current tools allow for. Do you think there would be a way to automate this type of content creation? If so, it would be good to somehow build that added flexibility into our system for future use in situations such as this.

In creating the condos and subdivisions pages, please use the attached spreadsheet (also prepared by client) as a point of reference. The subdivisions will be those listed in the "Mammoth Lakes Subdivisions" column, and the condos will be those listed in the "Mammoth Condo Complexes" column. I believe the Saved Searches for all of these should already be created. Any Saved Searches which are not already created can be dis-regarded for the time being, because I don't believe there are active MLS listings for those areas at the moment.

Last, one issue for this site is that this site is an upgrade for an existing customer who is currently using IDX Search Tools only. The URL of their search tools is: http://mammothmls.sierrainteractivemls.com/

One problem we may encounter in developing this site is that the Site Domain for the existing site is different from what it will be for the new site. I'm not sure what the best way would be to get around this, other than to hard code a temporary change into the /res/includes/session_mgr.asp file that would recognize the remax-mammoth.sierrainteractivedev.com domain and automatically change it to mammothmls.sierrainteractivemls.com before passing it into the Session functions. (Basically, a hack to get it to work until the site goes live.)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Ben,

I have updated the site-map page to display Featured Searches by content labels. I have also applied the "Mammoth Lakes Featured Searches" label to saved-searched on the "What Are You Looking For?" box. So, these saved (like Luxury Homes, Mammoth Crash Pads etc) would be displayed under the "Mammoth Featured Searches" label on the site-map and community pages.

Vihang,

The client on this site is, unfortunately, being very demanding, and has requested some additional changes to the content & saved searches on this site.

Is there a way for you to programmatically make the following changes:

1 - In the Saved Search names (and, so, also in the names of the corresponding Content Pages, and in the Title, Description, Keywords and Content of those pages), some of the names are abbreviated, due to their having been included that way in the IDX data.

For example, the Saved Search "Mmth Vista I" actually represents "Mammoth Vista I", and "Mmth VIew Vlls" actually represents "Mammoth View Villas".

Is there a way for you to iterate through the names of the Saved Searches and make the following replacements?

Then, the same updates would need to be made in all fields of the content pages, as well.

Also, the client has requested that the Roman numerals be replaced with normal numbers in all Saved Searches and content pages, meaning:

The only exception to this last request (Roman numerals) is the Snowcreek pages -- these should remain Snowcreek I, Snowcreek II, etc., and so should the corresponding Saved Searches.

If it's not possible to get this done in an automated way, please let me know, and I will find another way to go about it.

If it is possible, can you save the programming you create to do this, as I am sure we will have further use for it in the future?

Thanks.

Ben,

I have fixed the quick search issue reported in #56. The issue was due to the default Area option value was set to "0" as a result no matching listings were found when list-type or any other criteria was selected first.

Ben,

I have adjusted the padding on the left side of the new details page for this site and added Mammoth Sales Data sections and pages. I have added styling for these pages in the global.css of the front-end site and in the content manager stylesheet.

Please check these pages and let me know your feedback.

Thanks

RE: #44

1 - Yes, please do hard-code the links in the Home community box. Also, please change the label from "Ski-In / Ski-Out Condos and Homes" to just "Ski-In / Ski-Out"

2 - Yes, that looks good

3 - These also look good

4 - Good question. I do think we need to add a new section, "/mammoth-lakes-commercial-real-estate/" and then place both of the pages you mentioned within that section.

Ben,

I have added community pages for each sections and created main community page per your suggestions. Please note that I have added Mammoth Lakes, Crowley Lake, June Lake, North Mono and South Mono featured searches in the Communities section.

Please check these pages and let me know your feedback.

Vihang,

When you have time, can you please add three new pages to the Main section of the Remax-Mammoth.com site?

The content for each is attached.

Then, the client would like links for these placed into the footer of all pages on the site. I'm not sure the best place for this, but I think centered and directly under the white "page" content area / drop-shadow, in the same text color as the "325 old mammoth road..." text. Can you give this a try?

Vihang,

One more thing on the remax-mammoth.com site -- can you also please remove the drop-down menu below Featured Listings? We don't need a drop-down menu under that navigation item.
