Step 4:
Frame an External Link Only: You can frame a separate website to provide the content for any of your pages if you would like. To do so, enter the complete URL in this box (beginning with http://). For example, this could link to your MLS or IDX solution.  You can choose whether you would prefer to have this external page framed within your site or whether you want it to open up in its own window on top of your site. We recommend framing so you keep visitors on your website. 

NOTE: You should only use this framing option if your IDX solution has a built-in lead capture. Otherwise, see “Frame an External Link AFTER form submission” (see below).

Step 5:
Use Your Own Content or Intro Text Only: Enter your own content in the box provided below. 
For example, you might want the message to read: “Search All Properties in San Diego and Surrounding Areas Instantly!”   You can use the three rows of formatting tools to change the style of the text, insert hyperlinks, add images and more. To learn more about formatting options, click here.

Step 6:
Frame an External Link AFTER Form (lead capture) Submission. T his is the option you should use if your external IDX website does not have lead capture. With this setting on, you will be able require leads to fill out a capture form before they are forwarded to your external MLS search. To add a redirect page, paste your MLS or IDX link into the box to the right.
