New Premium Website Set-Up

    Hi there,
    I am setting up a premium website with an existing domain address.
    1. Is there any additional costs associated with WordPress hosting this domain /website?
    2. I am looking at the website theme Ovation and wanted to know if that header image could be converted to a slideshow easily?
    3. We are a real estate company and have to display a feed of listings from our real estate board. How do I do this?
    4. In addition to adding this feed, can I create custom ‘search definitions’ pulling from this external listing feed?
    For instance… our feed as a whole pulls all of our offices’ listings for sale. Our current website allows us to customize search definitions like ‘Condos’ or ‘Farms’ or a specific city or neighbourhood. Can I create these within your website template? At what additional costs would this come?

    Thank you,
    Julia

    Hi Julia,

    Happy to help you get started with WordPress.com. All of our plans include hosting so the price you see for the plan (including the free plan) includes hosting.

    Since you are planning to integrate your real estate listing and the listing of various offices including search I would recommend upgrading your site to the WordPress.com Business plan which allows plugins and custom themes to be installed.

    Speaking of themes, you mentioned Ovation, this theme is great for those who make music but customizing it for real estate may be a bit of a stretch. With the use of custom code or a plugin, you could add a slideshow to the front page are but in your case, I may recommend something closer to meeting your needs.

    Let us know if you have other questions.
