A Functional and Professional Website for a Real Estate Organization with a Private Member Area
Cross Canada Referrals represents some of the top independent RE/MAX real estate agents across Canada. Kobayashi Online created the crosscanadareferrals.com website to provide functionality and reflect CCR’s corporate culture.
The website is divided into four main sections: regular pages, agents’ profiles, private sharing area for members, and latest news and events.
Agents are able to securely sign into the site and update their profile information such as their services offered, activity areas, social media profiles, and contact information. Google Maps integration helps show agent location. The Members Only area lets agents share documents and discuss topics in real estate.
Editors can easily post press releases in the Latest News section, adding helpful tags that can make it easier to find the content. The Events section is created dynamically with all the social meetings and activities of the SOS Network. All events can be searched and ordered by day.
