Depending on the premium website template option you've chosen, you will have either 3, 4, or 7 calls to action available.

While we do have some recommended and popularly used options for you to choose from, there is flexibility around these so please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Representative.

You will notice on the Marketplace tile as well as the Premium Website Template order form that there are additional à la carte options that can be purchased with or without a Premium Website Template.

Whether you are looking for a way to supercharge your default BoldTrail website template or want to enhance your personalized Premium Website Template, custom website widgets can bring a fresh facelift to your online presence and help you capture more leads.

Website widgets include the below options:

You can purchase one or more at a time by logging into your account and clicking on the Marketplace tab from the main navigation on the left-hand side.

There are two types of featured area widgets that are available for purchase:

The most popular widget is the featured area tiles section. This allows you to choose up to 9 individual areas that you specialize in and spotlight them on your website's home page.

The tiles' design can be customized along with the areas, so please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

In order to create these, you must build each area link that the tile redirects a visitor to when clicked on.

To learn more about creating these links please watch this video:

Another easy way to bring attention to an area you specialize in is to feature it by itself on your homepage. This area can be used to feature a specific city, neighborhood, or zip code.

Alternatively, you could feature specific listings in this area like Open Houses and Most or Least Expensive listings, etc..

Please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

This handy little chat widget replaces the default Facebook Messenger chat widget in the bottom right corner of your BoldTrail website, but instead of staying on your home page, it will actually follow visitors around as they click on each web page!

It displays your profile image, contact information, social media links, and common search links along with a few other options.

This is another easy way to capture lead information since it asks visitors to log into their account on your website and if they do not already have one they will be asked to register in order to gain access to further functionality, like saving favorite properties.

The second most popular widget add-on is the calls to action section. While your Professional Services Team Representative will have some default suggestions, these action areas can really consist of anything you would like.

Commonly used calls to action include featuring your mortgage lender, recruiting agents to your team, and seller valuations.

Please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

A mortgage calculator widget is always a good addition to any real estate website and you have two options to choose from with this Marketplace Add-on.

Simple and Elegant

Modern and Compact

The widget will be built into a Custom Page and added to the top navigation bar of your website as an additional tab.

This interactive sliding widget allows you to choose up to six vertically skinny images and link them to another page, commonly used as a listing type spotlight.

Because this can be heavily customized please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

If you have a team and would like to feature all your agents then this nifty slider will offer you a lot of flexibility when doing so.

Please be prepared to discuss your preferences with the Professional Services Team Representative assisting you.

What are Premium Website Templates?

Premium Website Templates are an easy, hands-off way to take your existing BoldTrailwebsite template and apply expert design knowledge to create an attractive home page.

Inside Real Estate's in-house Professional Services team use the website customization tools that are already available to you within BoldTrail and take them above and beyond their functionality, incorporating them into more advanced methods of styling and display.

To schedule a consultation, click here.

What are the differences between the templates?

There are three different website templates to choose from. The main difference is the number of Featured Areas that come with each template.

What does the process look like?

There are 4 different stages to the overall process, from beginning to end.

Purchase

To order a Premium Website Template, simply log into BoldTrail and navigate to the Marketplace tab.

Search for the Premium Templates & Custom Featured Areas tile and click 'Learn More' to view more information and a short video explaining your options and to purchase this add-on.

After clicking Learn More you can click on Buy Now to view the order form.

Confirmation

You will receive an email acknowledging the order and it will include a Getting Started Form.

Once you have completed the Getting Started Form one of our Professional Services Representatives will create a mock-up design for you within 1 to 2 business weeks.

Collaboration

While the Professional Services Website Developer creates the mock-up for you, they may occasionally reach out to work with you on your preferences via email or phone.

You have 2 revisions available once the initial mock-up is completed.

Please Note: It is important that you compile the full list of changes you would like to make for each revision instead of sending them individually to the Professional Services Team.

A revision is used after the Professional Services Team makes the requested change(s), so if you have a list of 5 edits, but send them one-by-one, you would only see the first 2 changed and have no further revisions available. To avoid this, you would need to send all 5 to the Professional Services Team Representative which would count as your first (or second) revision.

Approval

Upon receiving your approval of the final mock-up, the Professional Services Team will publish your newly designed website template on your BoldTrail subdomain and it will be live shortly thereafter to the public online.

Why should I order a Premium Website Template?

There are many reasons why you may want to use a Premium Website Template, but some of the most important are:

How do I create the Featured Area URLs that the Getting Started Form is asking me for?

Can I edit the template myself?

There are two areas you might wish to edit:

Editing Content

To access the editor, click on the 'More' > 'Website Management' tab from the main navigation to the left of your BoldTrail account.

Then, click on the "Go To Site Editor" button to the right.

Editing Images

In the future, you may wish to change some of the initial images you approved during your revisions and you may do so by following the above steps for editing content.

Once you find the string of code for the image you would like to swap out, you can replace it with your new image's link.

Please Note: The new image must be hosted online and its URL should be used to replace the existing image's link.
