A New Day - A New Beginning
A much anticipated milestone has been reached. Version 2.0 of Radu’s Toronto Real Estate Blog (www.midtowntoronto.com) has finally come to fruition. When I first began this blog back in June 2006, it was to be more of a supplement to my website than the center piece. Since then, I started to put more time and effort into the articles and the promotion of this blog. As a result, my readership began to grow and visitor traffic started to increase slowly.
Along the way, a few small milestones were reached. My first post to receive any kind of broad attention and a few diggs was Making a Business out of Property ‘Flipping’. This article was quickly followed by £170,000 for a Closet? - Well, Almost.
However, the one article that truly put this website on the map was the Toronto’s Smallest House For Sale. This little house, along with all the press attention it garnered has driven much of the new traffic to this blog. And for that, I thank everyone; the readers, the media, and the darling little house.
The Need For A New Website Design
The initial blog layout was based on the RIN Theme 1.1 and few minor adjustments and modifications to it. But it left much to be desired. Unfortunately, due to my being busy Selling Toronto Real Estate, I could not tend much to its proper configuration and development. Therefore, the website simply hobbled along as best as it could. In short, it was in need of some serious overhauling.
To help me in the Website Design & Development of Version 2.0, I hired a company by the name of Serveris Inc. They are a Toronto Based IT Company that helps small to medium businesses get on the web, provide them with tech support and IT Recruitment services.
I have to say that I am very pleased with their design and development. They integrated a clean looking design very well with the Wordpress back end. Their service was both professional, courteous and their design process fantastic. They are of course still in the process of finishing some sections and migrating the data / content so please bear with us as some sections may not appear completed.
A New Direction
Version 2.0 of the blog will also have a new direction (somewhat). The website up to now focused too heavily on the blog. The new website will be known as Radu’s Home Buying & Selling System as well as Radu’s Toronto Real Estate Blog. The focus will be both on providing an important source of information regarding the Toronto Real Estate Market, focusing on Neighbourhood Profiles, the Toronto Condo & Loft Guide, the First Time Buyers Guide, as well as important information for Buyers, Sellers, and For Sale By Owners.
So, please bear with us while we get back up to speed and please visit with us as we progress towards Version 2.0 of Radu’s Toronto Real Estate Blog. Thank you for being devoted readers.
