Selecting A Theme: To theme a property description page simply login to your account and click on the “Listing Theme” icon. Once this is done you will be presented with a visual screenshot and example of the 7 themes that may be used. You can click the theme to preview it in your browser before deciding on which best suits your property. For instance, if your a property owner with a cabin the obvious theme to use would be a cabin theme. If you are a property owner on a lake you may decide to use this as well. Themes can be replaced at anytime by selecting the appropriate theme that you want displayed on your property description page.
Saving Your Theme: Once you have decided on which theme to use and you have selected the theme that best fits your needs simply scroll to the lower portion of your screen and click save. Once you have saved a message will appear confirming that your listing theme was activated. Once this is complete it may take up to 5 minutes for you to visibly see this effect on your property description page. Our system uses a method referred to as ‘caching’ to minimize the stress on our database. It is also a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access.
