The FloorPlanOnline developers have been working like elves this holiday season. We just released what we call the “Tour Tweaks” case. The case is mainly some visual changes to the look and feel of the FloorPlanOnline tours based on feedback from our customers, including:
- Your Photo and Contact info moved to the top left….and it always shows on the tour with your name in bold!
- Your Logo moved to the top right
- The top of the tour is cleaned up with the price, MLS, etc. moved to the Descriptions & Details
- Ability to select the tour template (the layout and look) as your place an order – choose our Classic Tour 1.0 (our original tour design) or the Webpage 2.0 design (the current default tour with customizable colors and more integrated content).
- Contact Pop-up now only shows when a user clicks on it. And, we have added a downloadable business card called a vCard. People can save your contact info, including your photo, into Outlook or Contacts (Apple users) with the click of a button.
- On the Dashboard view, we have make the content “bright” by default, and when a user mouses over a media item, that section dims.
- We have made it clearer that the Media icons on the left are clickable by changing the mouse icon to a hand. This is important for tours with a very light background color.
See an overview of these changes in this video.
A few things to note.
1. For best results, we suggest you re-upload your photo and your logo. Some of you may have your photo combined with your logo, which will still look fine, but if you want your photo next to your contact info, re-upload both. If you only upload your logo, you will end up with 2 photos showing on the tour.
2. Logos that are more square vs a long rectangle will look best.
3. We show 2 phone numbers on the face of the tour, then other numbers on the contact business card. If the 2 numbers you want are not showing, try selecting them, or changing them, in your profile.
If you have a particular color in your logo and you want to match that with the background color of your tour, you can do that. We suggest using either PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements and the color eye-drop tool to get the right color code, or if you use Firefox for your browser, install the Colorzilla plugin (its free), and click on the color you want to use with Colorzilla, and then find the hex code (it will display at the bottom of your browser window), and update your tour and then your profile with that color code. It will start with a # and look something like #1D507D (each color has a different alpha-numeric code). Note, if you already have active tours, you need to edit the color in each tour for it to go into effect, as each tour can be independently edited. Once you edit your profile, the color should automatically apply for all future tours.
