Ok, we repeated ourself, but only so that we can announce yet another feature that separates LeadPress from the rest of the crowd in mortgage website design. All LeadPress websites now have the ability to control CSS with LeadPress Open CSS!

What is CSS?

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a W3C open standards programming language for specifying how a web page is presented. It allows web site designers to create formatting and layout for a web site independently of its content.

What Does This Mean For LeadPress Users?

LeadPress mortgage web sites are already the most customizable mortgage website available today, including the ability to change color themes, home page styles, content, links, add pages at will and more. This new ability to control CSS simply means you can get EXTREMELY granular in the level of customization you want to make to your site.

Have a buddy or favorite developer that knows CSS? Then you can easily alter the look and feel of virtually any element in your LeadPress Website or talk to us about the customizations you have in mind and we can give you an estimate based on the time involved.

LeadPress websites are already much more customizable then most mortgage web sites available today, this feature is simply one more tool to give LeadPress users the most powerful tools available today!
