I strongly agree on this. Avoiding deep links is a good way to make new visitors click the checkout button. Don't keep them going around in a maze-like layers of pages and links. Keep it simple and straightforward.

Jeff,

I really want to thank you for writing this post. I few months ago I decided to move my site to Thesis and revamp the design, and I got on the calendar wait list with a great web designer. I got the call that they were about ready to start on my site about the same time you posted this. I loved the new design and actually pointed my designer to your home page to explain what I wanted.

My entire site was redesigned to promote the home search, especially on the home page, and to point people towards specific actions that I wanted them to take.

I just launched the new site yesterday and so far the feedback has been great. I have no doubt that it will increase my business.

Thank you!

What about the new trend with live managed chat supporting Real Estate websites? Isn't there a “gap” between web traffic and engagement in conversation between buyer and Realtor?

Laurent, do you have data to support your opinion that more leads means lesser quality?

You have put your point forward very nicely. I too agree that if we provide the users with what they want then we are bound to attract them, this will also increase website traffic. If websites are simple and easy to use then users like to visit it again and again which increases the number of daily visitors.

Searchers varies. The best way to achieve potential customer is convenience. Convenience in the sense that “in a snap”, they gain access to what they are looking for. Pressing so many buttons is a No-no.

I don't like that you have to provide so much informaton (or any at all) to view property details. It's a huge turn off to many people.

The number of people who sign up doesn't matter. It's quality of the leads that matter.

If someone is interested in something you have for sale or your services, they'll contact you on their own free will. Just make sure it's easy to do so and you'll build a list of people who actually want to hear from you instead of people who's arm you had to twist.

Other than that I like the ideas you talk about. A suggestion I may have is that once you click a sub-region on the map it could lead to search results right away without having to click the search button. I didn't realize at first that the map was filling up the form data, I though it was two seperate ways to search.
