We made some updates last week to the homefinder utility.  The first thing to notice in the new version is that the large graphic was removed.  We noticed that users where having trouble finding how to filter their searches, so we decided to get rid of anything distracting and emphasize the filter menu bar.

Next, we decided to change the layout from 3 side-by-side panels to 2 side-by-side and 1 underneath spanning both columns.  The large display area allows for a clearer representation of each home and leaves us the opportunity to work on two things:  1. Creating larger floor plan graphics, and 2. Adding descriptive text to each home.

Other improvements have been made to the backend.  The functions are written better to make the system smaller and more flexible.  If you have any suggestions for improvements, please contact the web development staff in the corporate office.
