Hello and welcome to another edition of Tech Tuesday, presented by Delta Media Group, where we feel that Helen Tasker couldn't possibly have had enough time to train properly to become a field agent by the time they had her in the field at the end. You know, maybe the most important thing in a field agent is that they really know how to tango.

Today we are going to take a look at custom pages. We're going to look at a couple of different things here. One is going to be how to create custom pages, a couple of things they can do, and also how to recover those if they're deleted or if you need to pull the history back up on them. So there's a lot of things. Let's jump into the Delta Net and go over as many as we can.

First off, to create and to kind of customize your pages, we'll go down to website and click on pages. Then here we can see on the left, this is the list of all the pages we currently have on our site. If we go down a little bit further, we have our navigation menu. What this is is where the links to each of those pages are oriented in your top navigation. So everything that's indented here is actually in a dropdown menu.

So on the website we'll see that under buyers, you have listings I've shown, a property search are in a dropdown under that. Then this map, search new listings, elegant homes in the Canton, Ohio market pages, are actually nested in a fly out menu under property search.

I'll go ahead and jump over there so that we can take a look. So buyers, and then you can see that dropdown. Then under property search, we've got all the extra pieces there. So there we go. That way you can kind of see how those are set up and how those are oriented.

In order to create a new page, what we'll do is click on new page. Now from here, that loads up our page content editor on the right. You can see we have different page types in these different tabs, and we've kind of gone over those in different videos, and we'll continue to get into those as we add features to those in the future. But for now, we'll just take a look at custom page.

With a custom page, the first thing we can do is we can lock this down so that it's only viewable to people who have registered on your website. So if I check this box, what this is going to do is if someone is not logged into a portfolio account and they tried to go to this page, it's going to present them with this message here and then allow them to create an account. So uncheck that for.

The next thing I can do is I can add a contact form to this page. So if I was creating a landing page and I wanted to put a call to action on it, I would just check this box. I would decide which side of the page I want my contact form to show up on. It is mobile responsive, so when it goes down to mobile I'll actually drop down below your page content.

I could choose contact form type, and you can see the different options we have available there. And each one of these like selling information, buying information, and real estate career are actually specific and they link up to specific auto responders. So if I use selling information, they're going to get a different auto responder from the system than somebody who just fills out the general form. Those can be customized over here under preferences and email messages. That's something to keep in mind when creating these forms.

We'll say contact form title, my form title. You get a thank you URL. If you would like someone who fills out this form to be taken off to another custom page, you can put that URL in here and it'll take them to another spot.

Contact form comments, these are my comments. What this'll do is fill out the comment section on that form with what you put in here. This is actually overrideable by the customer, but this is just the default text that shows up in that comments field.

By default, there will be some check boxes so that the customer can indicate what it is they're interested in with this form. The check boxes are just some default options like buying, selling, property management, that kind of thing. If I want to hide those, I can just check that box.

Next, I can choose the page type I want here. Standard page or page with template means that it's just a regular page and it loads up your entire website template around it. Website template, and all of your branding, and your colors and all that stuff. It's just not going to have any navigation. The idea there is that it'll still have all my branding, but the only thing that they can do is form in order to kind of continue on and navigate off of this page within my site.

Any template at all, the only thing on it will be my copy that I enter into this page content section. So we'll leave it on standard.

[inaudible 00:08:04] editors, [inaudible 00:08:07] processor if I was using Microsoft. Content [inaudible 00:08:15] features here that kind of loads up my little image and click on the browse button there and I can select from my different images and see we've got an image. If I want to turn that image into a link, I could click on that and then click my little link button here and then give it a URL to go to. I click okay and now this has turned into a link and you can see that the image and the links...

Okay, go down. I can say insert media and I would just paste [inaudible 00:08:53]. Click, I would put one in but I don't have one copied over yet. The cool things you can do, custom pages is the little button here with curly braces and the three dots, you have features or special page functionality that we've [inaudible 00:09:18] pages. These are mostly from data, reviews data. You can read through each of these and see [inaudible 00:09:24] there, I would just click that.

If I add a featured listing section, this will look at my regular featured listing sections page or I can go within featured listing and it'll let me define. So I can [inaudible 00:09:50] specific MLS IDs and have it load them up for me. [inaudible 00:10:01]. And you can see, I just click on from that drop. As you can see I've got [inaudible 00:10:09] in there. You can go, instead of going with MLS or specific, so I could say, put North Canton and just have it display how much [inaudible 00:10:34] and to really [inaudible 00:10:40]. Then once you have it set up the way you want, click insert.

Now we'll go down to another one. One of the other things you can do in here is you can do kind of a quick search, just regular listing search. You can add [inaudible 00:11:01], agent roster would be specific pages to company pages. Agent pages, you won't be adding that. A full search result section, which would [inaudible 00:11:17], one of those. We could take a look.

And then lastly, [inaudible 00:11:19]. So that'll [inaudible 00:11:32] you have multiple [inaudible 00:11:40], want to leave it there. And then [inaudible 00:11:43] put it in. So keywords, or just comments that describe your page content. Tech Tuesday, and just type what it will be. So it's going to be my domain image, and put an additional URL. If I didn't put in any particular URL, like what I put here, and read just whatever I put here. So it just allows me, it doesn't force them to all go to the same page. So uncheck, and there we go. So our page is created.
