Great news, we've updated the MLS pages to be more beautiful and optimized for viewing on mobile browsers!

We are excited to announce that we have redesigned all the MLS pages so that they have a fresh look that is beautiful and also optimized to look and work great on Mobile devices. There are still the same options to display the properties in a grid, list or map view, and all display beautifully on Mobile devices. And we have added larger photos for MLSs that have HD images, a much nicer slideshow, and many other great enhancements.

Samples

To see a live example of the new designs, visit an MLS list page on the new Alain Pinel Investment Group website in San Francisco or a property details page on the Gullixons website in Menlo Park.

When Will These Updates Happen?

Because we believe this is an improvement for all Realtors, we will automatically upgrade the default MLS pages to this new design in two weeks, on October 2.

But you can opt out if you don't want your MLS pages ...

Responsive Design has become THE biggest buzzword in web design circles this past year, and with good reason because a well designed responsive website allows mobile visitors to view a beautiful version of your site even if they are on their smartphone.

View one of our demos on your smartphone or open the demo on your computer and just resize your browser window to watch how the layout changes automatically to "respond" to the new size. Warning, it's addictive!

Gutensite loves responsive design and we just completely redesigned and rebuilt all our default content type pages to be responsive for you! Browse through the pages of our demos to see what these new pages look like for both desktop and mobile devices, e.g. watch the calendar reformat. Even if you don't care about the mobile audience, the new designs are a huge improvement for desktop computer visitors ...

Over the last few years the internet has trained us to assume that we should be able to get quality online services for free. And there are many companies that have built their business model around providing just that, e.g. free news, social media services like Facebook and Twitter, Google Docs, Google Analytics, Google Maps, free music with Spotify, etc.

Of course we all know that nothing is really free. Those services are either selling your data or your attention to advertisers. But it's a trade most of us are willing to make.

The problem is, these free models have skewed our value systems. We assume the free model should apply to all online businesses. But "free" really only works for automated services that provide generic solutions. That's okay for one-size-fits-all news or productivity tools, but it's a horrible solution if your business needs to stand out from the crowd and communicate your unique value to a specific audience.

So when you need to build a website, you can ...
