Website development

In my task three, I had to come up with new reassures to develop and enhance Harbor real estate website and Harbor communications by research other competitors’ websites like, Provident real estate, better homes and Sherwood's. In the beginning, I found out that researching for reassures or tools easier than looking for information because information has to be specific and reliable, but in my opinion searching for tools it’s more interesting the reason is that tools are clear and easier to understand. While I am working in this task there are many tools that I liked and I find them excellent. For example, Adding Harbor social media accounts in the website because it very important for Harbor to be connected with their visitors or their targets to allow people to be updates with the latest news without visiting the website all of the time, but in interested way like twitter, face book and blogs. Added to that, I find the latest news tool helpful because If the company target is bringing back the visitors or increasing the viewers to Harbor website we have to afford them the easiest way to get information and the latest news not to search for them, Latest news link offers the chance for people to save their time and get what they want at the same time. What I learned from this task is websites appearance or how they are organized it’s very important for the company to get more viewers than loosening them. Also, it’s important to deliver information to people in clear and simple way. Tools are important because they are the only way to make the website easy to navigate.

My space and linked in

To start with this two social media services are new for me and I don’t have any experience how it works. First I created two accounts in both services I wasn’t very interested working on them because they where complicated to me and I couldn’t understand them in the begging which was a challenging for me. However, I had fun working in twitter by adding more people also, to talk to them and see their tweets. Added to that I updated the blog and I have one new follower.

Twitter and Blogger

To have an interested social media pages we have to create a creative page with professional layouts and organized, clear information. Moreover, when I continued working in task two I created today the Harbor real estate blog and twitter accounts, I had to follow some other real estate companies so I can optimize the Harbor accounts. Added to that, the thing which was very interested that when I created twitter and I added other real estate twitters I was afraid that I won’t have any followers to Harbor, but I had four followers In the first day and I had the chance to talk to them by receiving emails from them to me that they are very glad to be in touch with our company.

Social media


 


In this day I started working in my second task which is social media relation like web blogs, twitter, face book, my space and other social media networks. I was very happy and interested in working on these kinds of social media recourses because I have an experience of using some of them, but the challenging part that when you create a blog how you will be able to promote or customize it in specific places. For example, before I start creating Harbor real estate blog I needed to know which followers we will be targeting so we increase our social media in real estate, but it was very hard to me because there are very limited blogs that talking about real estate. However, I managed myself to find some of the important blogs about real estate in Dubai and I had the chance to create a twitter account for myself.

In the first day I had a several meetings with my colleges in the company to know the people who work there and to get the idea of the work environment.
