Website Design Articles
The questions associations actually ask
Do we have to replace our AMS?
No. TaliCMS is the public website. Your membership records, dues and NRDS data stay in the system that holds them today. We connect to it.
Will it work with our MLS?
Almost certainly. We run three different MLS data standards in production - RESO Web API, Trestle and legacy RETS. Tell us which MLS you're on and we'll tell you straight away. Beyond the feed, 146,014 members sync at Texas REALTORS® from NAR's M1 Gateway, and two member sign-in systems are connected - Clareity and Auth0 with NAR sign-in.

Can our staff really run it without a developer?
Yes, and that's the main design goal. Pages are built from pre-styled blocks, changes are previewed before publishing, and every edit is reversible.
How long does it take?
Columbus REALTORS® - 9,400 members, full platform - went live in twelve weeks. Your timeline depends mostly on how quickly decisions get made and how long your MLS takes to approve feed access.
What happens to our existing website and its links?
We crawl and archive the whole site first, then map every old address to its new home so bookmarks, newsletter links and search results keep working. After launch we re-check every link and fix what broke.
What does it cost?
It depends on your integrations, how much content you're migrating, and your timeline - so any number before that conversation would be a guess. Tell us what MLS you're on, roughly how many pages you have and when you need to be live, and we'll give you a real number.
What association staff say
In their words, not ours.
Our new site on TaliCMS has handled the scale of a state association without missing a beat. Dazlab worked closely with our team through the build and launch, and the result is a site that's faster and much easier for our staff to keep current.
