It's as simple as that, you can now manage and maintain your property sales and rentals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere in the world over the internet.
Taking photos of your property is relatively easy, especial as most people now have access to a digital camera. Generally we would not recommend using photos taken with a mobile phone camera unless it has a high resolution.
Set the camera to the highest pixel level that is available, 3 mega pixels or greater should be ideal to achieve good quality pictures. Take the photos in good light and from different angles. Obviously the most important photos are the front of the property and those showing the size and condition of the rooms.
Once you have sufficient pictures you then need to load them on to your computer, you should be able to do this using a USB connection and in some cases with software provided by the camera manufacture. Currently there is a limit of 5 photos per property, so select the best 5 pictures that show your property's fullest potential.
Your chosen photos may need to be resized, the optimum size is 320 (w) x 240 (h) pixels or slightly larger, of the same or very similar ratio 4:3, maximum 1 Mb.
This is because the 320 x 240 pixels size and 4:3 ratio is used to display all photos on this site. However your photos do not have to be the exact size, as our system will automatically resize the photos while maintaining their prospective, but it is import that the photo(s) are not less than 320 x 240 as this could stretch the photo(s) making them more difficult to view. The other criteria is that the file size must be 1024 Kb (1 Mb) or below, this is to save space and to reduce the time taken to upload your photos to our system.
Thumb nail photos will appear automatically and will swap and enlarger on the details page viewed by potential buyers.
We can only accept photos in JPG (JPEG) format, however this should not be a problem as JPG is generally the format used my digital cameras.
After resizing your pictures the process of uploading is straight forward, sign in to Post Your Property, from the Control Panel once you have added the property that your wish to sell or to rent your will see the property appears in the Control Panel, on the right of the property details you will see the highlighted word "Photo" by clicking on this word you will be taken to the Add Photo(s) page for that particular property.
