Help > Content Management System > Developments

If you are signed up for the Developments feature, this sub item will be present on the back end of your site under the CMS tab. Here you can control which developments you want to show on your site, and can enter and edit content specific to the development. You can enter as many files as you like for a development. The following information pertains to the developments themselves, not specific units in the developments.

To add a devcelopment to your list:

1. Click “Create New” in the top right of the Developments view
2. Fill in as much information as you have about the development
3. Click “Create” and your development’s listing has been created

You can edit this basic information at any time by clicking “Edit” to the right of the development name. You will also see four other editing links next to each development name: Addresses, Pictures, Floor Plans, and Listing Sheets. You can use any one of these links as shortcuts to view, edit, or add any of the above items.

To enter addresses for a development:

1. Click the “Developments” sub item under the CMS tab
2. Click “Addresses” to the right of the development’s name in the list
3. Click “Create New” in the top right of the address editing view
4. Enter address info and click “Create”

Tip: You can enter as many addresses as you like for the development; the more addresses you enter, the more search results will be generated by MLS. For example, you can enter “Tremont Street”, “Tremont St.”, “Tremont St”, etc. Addresses can be edited or deleted at any time by clicking on “Addresses” next to the development’s name on the list and then clicking either “Edit” or “Delete”.

To add pictures to a development:

1. Click the “Development” sub item under the CMS tab
2. Click “Pictures” next to the appropriate development’s name on the list
3. Click “Create New” on the top right corner of the Pictures view
4. Click “Browse” to find the image on your hard drive
5. Enter a description for the image, if desired
6. Click “Create” to add the image to your development’s page

To add floor plans or listing sheets to a development:

1. Click the “Developments” sub item under the CMS tab
2. Click either “Floor Plans” or “Listing Sheets” next to the appropriate developments’s name on the list
3. Click “Create New” on the top right corner of the view
4. Title the document if desired, and click “Browse” to find the file on your hard drive (NOTE: These files must be in PDF format)
5. Click “Create” to add the document to your development’s page

Tip: Entering unique content about each development, even if you are just rephrasing someone else’s descriptions, is a great way to improve your search engine rankings.
