ApartmentFinder.com is launching its new web 4.0 web site, featuring more interactive content. The one-click access to information about apartments has been showcased even more prominently. Initially, while searching for apartments, users see one main large photo of the property followed by three additional smaller images to provide a comprehensive visual understanding of content about featured property listings. Enter the zip code or city/state and information rich content displays, with featured apartments getting additional exposure.
Quick searches are designated by radius, price range and bedroom requirements or through searches for specific colleges, military bases or particular addresses. A “Virtual Earth” map lets users see exactly where a property is located. Also, strong keyword search tools better justify specific information that is relevant to a search query.
An easy-to-use expanded feature, called faceted browsing, lets consumers chose specific properties to visit by narrowing relevant information about their specific needs. The search facets are positioned in the left side column of the site, and allow users to search by amenities, price, affordable housing options and schools.
