Wordpress or Total? Start with your website and workflow.

You are not choosing between four independent CRMs. Wordpress and Total are two system models; APP and Desktop are developing clients of Total.

Keep your website

Choose Wordpress when you want to extend an existing WordPress site

This is a natural route if you have a maintained website and suitable theme and want to add CRM and property publishing. First check installation compatibility and how listings will be displayed.

Connect CRM and CMS

Consider Total when you want to move away from WordPress

Total provides an independent workspace and website builder. Check hosting, the plan for moving URLs and data, and the processes your agents need. The developing applications work with that same server.

Compare implementation costs

The licence is only one part of the decision

Include hosting, maintenance, migration, website configuration and portal agreements. Review current prices and plan availability in the catalogue, then obtain a quote for additional implementation work.

FAQ

Making the choice in practice

Do I need to decide on APP and Desktop immediately?

No. Choose the CRM and website model first. You can test application access to Total separately.

Does Property Tour replace CRM?

No. The separate Property Tour product creates 360° presentations in WordPress. Total also has its own presentation module. Scope and licences depend on the chosen implementation.
