Thanks for the feedback. I do like that site, but it's quite limiting in many ways. I plant to move it to WP as soon as I get a WEEK free to work on it.

In the mean time, I've put up a WP to experiment and learn with: http://www.atlantatownhomeinfo.com/ which is running a Thesis theme.

Making WP themes do what you want is a challenge in itself but overall, it's all easier than hand coding sites from scratch.

I would recommend a bigger call to action to search for homes but otherwise it looks outstanding. The color scheme in particular is nicely executed.

Your site looks good, very clean and well designed. I would recommend a bigger call to action to search for homes but otherwise it looks outstanding. The color scheme in particular is nicely executed.

Love the site. The redesign is much better, clean, attractive and to the point.

I also design my own site and thus far have not used WordPress or any CMS and it's a pain. Been thinking about the Thesis WP theme for some time now and how I would move over w/o hosing myself from a SEO perspective.

Check out my site. I also use Diverse for the IDX. I'm making changes at least once a week!
