We’re committed to providing you and your members with the very best MLS software that works like your members work and delivers a consistent, modern user experience across pages and devices. To that end, you’ve probably noticed some recent changes to Flexmls. Since the start of 2019, we’ve been actively modernizing the overall look and feel of Flexmls Web, and will continue to do so for the remainder of the year. Modernization isn’t a one-time project with a definitive end. Rather, it’s an ongoing journey to meet your members’ needs and take advantage of new methods and technology. We’re excited for what we’re doing this year: refreshing a number of pages tailored to your members’ everyday tasks, and delivering an easier-to-read Flexmls interface with a squeaky clean appearance. We hope you and your members will love it!
What are the benefits of this change?
Besides the obvious overall “improved visual appeal,” the interface is being refreshed to reflect current software usability practices. This means the refreshed pages will have an updated look that will feel familiar. We will use workflow patterns, button sizes, screen layouts, and an overall experience that’s similar to other products your members might encounter throughout their day. The top benefits of this refresh include:
- Easier to read: The new layouts will contain larger, more readable fonts that meet standard web accessibility guidelines which will greatly benefit the everyday user and those who are visually impaired.
- Cleaner appearance: The refreshed screen layouts will have more room around page titles, buttons, and content. Screens will look less crowded, providing a better experience on all screen sizes.
- Pages tailored to your members: By monitoring your members’ user data (how they use Flexmls), feedback, and research, we’ve been able to determine the most and least used features. With this data, we’re able to better tailor changes to their common, everyday tasks: most-used items will be showcased front and center, while least-used items can still be accessed, but won’t be as prominent as the most-used items.
Responsive design
You know that awesome feeling you get when you make your browser window smaller and everything automatically scales to size so you can still read it all? This user refresh also makes Flexmls pages more responsive for easier viewing on your members’ smaller desktop screens, laptops, tablets, and phones!
More than just good looking, it’s futureproof
In addition to looking better, the code has been overhauled. Why does that matter to you? Long story short, it allows us to create and deliver new features to your members faster while making the system easier to learn and interact with. From a software perspective, one consistent, responsive product code-base decreases time to market for innovation while improving maintainability and supportability.
Why are we making these changes?
Because it’s our top priority to always deliver the best user experience for your members.
