What are Premium Website Templates?
Premium Website Templates are an easy, hands-off way to take your existing btPRO website template and apply expert design knowledge to create an attractive home page.
Inside Real Estate's in-house Professional Services team use the website customization tools that are already available to you within btPRO and take them above and beyond their functionality, incorporating them into more advanced methods of styling and display.

What are the differences between the templates?
There are three different website templates to choose from. The main difference is the number of Featured Areas that come with each template.
What does the process look like?
There are 4 different stages to the overall process, from beginning to end.
Purchase
To order a Premium Website Template, simply log into btPRO and navigate to the Marketplace tab.
Search for the Premium Templates & Custom Featured Areas tile and click 'Learn More' to view more information and a short video explaining your options and to purchase this add-on.
After clicking 'Learn More' you can click on 'Buy Now' to view the order form.
Confirmation
You will receive an email acknowledging the order and it will include a Getting Started Form.
Once you have completed the Getting Started Form one of our Professional Services Representatives will create a mock-up design for you within 1 to 2 business weeks.
Collaboration
While the Professional Services Website Developer creates the mock-up for you, they may occasionally reach out to work with you on your preferences via email or phone.
You have 2 revisions available once the initial mock-up is completed.
Please Note: It is important that you compile the full list of changes you would like to make for each revision instead of sending them individually to the Professional Services Team.
A revision is used after the Professional Services Team makes the requested change(s), so if you have a list of 5 edits, but send them one-by-one, you would only see the first 2 changed and have no further revisions available. To avoid this, you would need to send all 5 to the Professional Services Team Representative which would count as your first (or second) revision.
Approval
Upon receiving your approval of the final mock-up, the Professional Services Team will publish your newly designed website template on your btPRO subdomain and it will be live shortly thereafter to the public online.
Why should I order a Premium Website Template?
There are many reasons why you may want to use a Premium Website Template, but some of the most important are:
Increased website engagement through the Featured Areas
Increase in lead generation through the Calls to Action
Increased SEO via additional home page content that provides Google with more keywords to index
An overall more professional and personalized website that stands out online
How do I create the Featured Area URLs that the Getting Started Form is asking me for?

Can I edit the template myself?
Yes! Because the Professional Services Team uses website editing tools that are already available to you within btPRO, you will retain access to both the tools and the customizations that the team has published for you.
There are two areas you might wish to edit:
The Content
The Images
Editing Content
To access the editor, click on the Web & IDX tab from the main navigation to the left of your btPRO account.
Then, click on the "Go To Site Editor" button to the right.
You will be taken to the website editor which shows your btPRO website's home page with a table of editing options that you can use to view the HTML code the Professional Services Team used to customize your website.
Editing Images
In the future, you may wish to change some of the initial images you approved during your revisions and you may do so by following the above steps for editing content.
Once you find the string of code for the image you would like to swap out, you can replace it with your new image's link.
Please Note: The new image must be hosted online and its URL should be used to replace the existing image's link.
Recommended Image Dimensions

Can I use a custom domain with my Premium Website Template?
Yes! Because Premium Website Templates only affect the home page design of your btPRO website, you will still be able to use a custom domain for your website.

Can I add Custom Pages to the Premium Website Template?
Yes! Because Premium Website Templates only affect the home page design of your btPRO website, you are still able to add Custom Pages to your website and adjust the default navigation in the top menu to display a quick link to the page.

Can I display Exclusive, Coming Soon, or Sold listings on my Premium Website Template?
Yes! Because Premium Website Templates only affect the home page design of your btPRO website, you can add Exclusive, Coming Soon, or Sold listings to the Listings tab in your btPRO account and have them automatically display on your website.
