"What do I need to do to put IDX on my website?"

Wondering what you need to do to put IDX on your website?  Here is a quick summary of the steps you need to take in order to get IDX up and running on your website as soon as possible.

1. Fill out and sign the IDX Participation Agreement (the link above). This is an agreement between YOU and TAR, acknowledging that you understand your responsibilities of how the IDX data must be displayed, what disclaimers and logos to use, etc. Every TAR member must fill out and sign this Agreement before they can have access to the database to put IDX on their website, whether they are using IDXsearch or doing IDX themselves. This is a comprehensive document, and should answer most of your questions in terms of the Telluride IDX guidelines.

2. Contact IDXsearch and sign up for one of their IDX products; complete a service contract with IDXsearch. They have many different levels of IDX products, from the basic search engine, to a fully customized website, and everything in between for very reasonable costs. They also offer a number of enhancements that are available at nominal additional costs.  The best way to learn more about their products is to visit www.idxsearch.com or to contact IDXsearch directly and discuss the options available. 
 

TAR's sales rep. at IDXsearch is: Tim Osmundson, (952)544-1505 x132 www.idxsearch.com. Call Grant Effertz for technical support.

Once you have figured out which IDX product you want from IDXsearch, they will forward you a service contract. This contract is between YOU and IDXsearch regarding the services and/or products that you purchase from them. TAR has nothing to do with that agreement.
  3. If you currently do not have a website but are interested in IDX and a website, you have several options. Feel free to call me and I can fill you in on possibilities. IDXsearch can design you a full custom website, and they do fabulous work. There are also local web designers here in Telluride that do great work, too. These are just a few options. 
  4.  Please realize that IDX may not materialize on your website for a few more weeks.  The steps above will get the ball rolling, but it will take a little while before IDX is officially up and running on your website.  By contacting IDXsearch, and by returning the completed IDX Participation Agreement to the TAR office, you will have taken tremendous strides in the IDX implementation on your sit
