Web Journal #8: Real Estate


Reality By Monica

Reality by Monica is a local Re/Max realtor site that looks to be template based. Initially it looks pretty nicely laid out with plenty of white space, a head-shot of Monica, lots of pictures and a sidebar main navigation. But, if you dare to scroll down... beware...

The first page is 3270 pixels long. Lots of text that no one will ever read--it basically describes all of the features that the navigation will take you to. It also describes what to look for in a Realtor and why you should choose Monica.

Overall, I liked the first impression of the site, but didn't like all the text that followed. The navigation keeps you on the main site, but occasionally takes you to a new site (fortunately it opens in a new window).
