Agent Influence Meets Market Demand for Local Knowledge

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:57:04 GMT

LONG BEACH, Calif., Oct. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- After years of managing national interactive marketing campaigns for some of the largest real estate firms in the country, Agent Influence's seasoned management team knew that making tested high end web applications, technologies and tools available to local agents would provide them with an extraordinary advantage in their own communities. Agent Influence has introduced websites designed to provide an effective, affordable, local marketing option for agents and brokers. Their marketing, real estate and technology professionals collaborated to create website templates built on proven marketing principles.

Melissa Rosno, Director of Sales and Marketing explains, "Our website products are not just flash and style, they help agents and brokers reach out to their local communities, enabling home buyers and sellers to access real time information about their local real estate market."

Although there are many website services available today to real estate brokers and agents, Agent Influence distinguishes itself with its feature rich offering uniquely focused on providing real time local market data, trends and community information. This approach is uniquely relevant in today's market where national pronouncements on the state of property values and sales often differ significantly from what is actually happening in a local market. All Agent Influence websites include a subscription to market data reports by county, city or zip code.

Agent Influence websites include a community blog that enables agents to reach out to their clients and develop an ongoing dialogue by posting articles about events in the community, local news or information about the agent's services. Additionally, agents are able to utilize community pages on their website to feature businesses in the local area.

Proprietary content management tools help Agents to create featured property listings, utilize craigslist templates, easily update website content, manage their community blog and post businesses in their community pages.

Agent Influence is the result of a collaboration of experienced marketing professionals, real estate professionals, certified search engine experts, designers and website programmers with nearly a century of combined experience in their respective fields. Team members have completed projects for leading real estate and financial services clients such as Century 21, Coldwell Banker, CB Richard Ellis, and Ameriquest Mortgage.

Agent Influence will be exhibiting their product offerings at the California REALTOR(R) Expo 2008, the state's largest real estate trade show October 14 through October 16 at the Long Beach Convention Center where more than 10,000 attendees are expected.

Artisteer - Web and Blog Design Automation Software Unveiled at BlogWorld Expo

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:02:48 GMT

Ground-breaking Software Instantly Creates Professional Website Designs, Wordpress Themes and CMS Templates

LAS VEGAS, Nev., Sept. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Extensoft announced today the release of Artisteer, its Web design automation software to create professional blog themes and Website templates, at this week's BlogWorld Expo show at the Las Vegas Convention Center - South Hall S-3 (booth number 508). The product eliminates the need to learn Photoshop, Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS or other Web technologies to produce original Website designs. The finished designs can be output as a Wordpress Blog Theme, XHTML+CSS driven Web designs and CMS Templates, Web Application Templates, with planned support for Joomla, Drupal, Blogger, and other CMS and blog systems.

The design automation, variety of design elements, and precision control features wrapped in an intuitive interface enable technology professionals to the average blogger with little or no technical experience to quickly build professional presence based on validated HTML and the smart use of CSS.

"Web designers spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days to create and convert a Photoshop design into a proper Website template in XHTML and CSS format, or even longer to create Wordpress themes," said Leonid Evstafiev, Artisteer product manager. "Artisteer eliminates all these steps and cuts the time to 15 minutes. Start by pressing the 'Suggest Design' button until Artisteer creates a design you like, then adjust a few properties and export your design - it's really that easy."

Artisteer was built using a thorough standards-based approach with support for tableless layouts in XHTML and CSS output, W3C color contrasting and Section 508 standards. The groundbreaking engineering also minimizes page load times by utilizing CSS image fusion that decreases the number of images used for displaying buttons, rounded corners and various effects. Artisteer also solves many Web browser compatibility and technical problems facing professional Web designers, making it an essential Web design tool for professionals and amateurs alike, no matter how simple or complex the project.

Artisteer runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, is priced at $49.95 to $149.95 per user, and is available now at www.artisteer.com.

BlogWorld & New Media Expo is the first and only industry-wide tradeshow, conference and media event dedicated to promoting the dynamic industry of blogging and new media.

IT Response Chooses LiveRepair.com as a Supplier of IT Support, Web and Software Development Solutions

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 18:58:00 GMT

LiveRepair.com's DevTeam division redesigned the company Web site and fully integrated the support service with the online payment processing system and the TekOffice helpdesk suite

THORNWOOD, N.Y. - Sept. 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- IT Response (www.itresponse-uk.com) launches a UK-wide online computer support service for home and business computer users. Striving to provide computer users with high quality online repair and affordable remote helpdesk services regardless of location, IT Response was looking for a long-term, reliable partner who would provide affordable technical assistance. LiveRepair.com was chosen for its high-quality, yet cost-effective and flexible, technical support solutions - TekOffice as a reliable support platform and TekSource as a proven outsourcing solution.

The 24x7 remote PC repair service from IT Response is primarily aimed at home and SOHO (small office / home office) computer users who need ongoing computer assistance yet reluctant to call an onsite technician on every occasion. With IT Response, computer users get their own "virtual computer administrator" for their PCs for a flat annual or monthly fee that covers any number of computer-related questions they might have during the subscription period.

The LiveSource program from IT Response offers flexible IT support and helpdesk solutions to IT companies in the UK and is aimed at businesses willing to outsource IT support side of their business to professionals. The industry is currently working on cutting onsite repair costs and covering the emerging market of low-price remote computer support solutions. The multi-tier architecture of the TekOffice support platform allows building custom-tailored solutions for companies of any size. Powered by TekOffice, IT Response uses advanced technology solutions aimed to provide in-depth diagnostics and quick problem resolution, using the Internet as the main channel. "With high quality remote helpdesk support solutions from LiveRepair.com, through the integration of innovative support technologies, our dream to provide unprecedented remote support services to customers globally has finally become a reality," comments Dan K. Jatau, CEO and Director of Technical Operations of IT Response.

In addition to developing TekOffice, LiveRepair.com's highly professional DevTeam built custom support solutions for over 100 companies worldwide. DevTeam redesigned IT Response's Web site by changing both its graphic elements and functionality. The PayPal (www.paypal.co.uk) online credit card processing system was seamlessly integrated with the site and the TekOffice suite. "We make our online support easily accessible for customers," points out Larry Sheremetyev, Director of Business Development, Marketing and Sales at LiveRepair.com. "Our helpdesk solutions can be integrated with any online payment system to enable instant service and true 24x7 support for service providers and their customers." At IT Response, it takes less than two minutes after the first visit to the company Web site until a person can get access to the actual support service.

Impressed with the quality of DevTeam's development work, IT Response not only decided to use LiveRepair.com for all its in-house Web and software development needs, but now brings cost-effective and reliable IT solutions from LiveRepair.com to UK companies. "Working with DevTeam, IT Response is assured that any project - from developing a simple Web site to building a complex e-commerce system - can be completed within tight budgets and always exceeding customer expectations," concludes Dan K.
