Inman.com's New Site Goes Live

Inman News.com, "is the leading source of independent real estate news, information, advice, research, opinion and commentary for industry professionals and consumers alike." They have been working hard to give the old site a new look and a basket of new features. They were successful and now the new design and platform is live.

As I visited the new site for the first time, I experienced quite a bit of lag, but this was to be expected per the sites owner Joel Burslem. He had posted an announcement on The Future of Real Estate Blog. Once the site loaded, I was extremely interested to see that it had its own community. The thought of having to maintain another profile frightened me at first, but after I calmed down I recognized good networking possibilities by utilizing the social network here.

From a technical perspective the site is very crisp, easy to use and read, and nicely designed. Using Drupal as a CMS engine I think was a great choice. Drupal has a great open source community behind it and is extremely scalable.

I look forward to seeing the new site evolve and see what new features they plan to implement in the future.
