Oro-Valley-AZ-Homes-for-Sale.com Home Search Results and Photo Gallery Updates

I burned the midnight oil updating the Home Search Results and Photo Gallery pages of Oro-Valley-AZ-Homes-for-Sale.com. Pictures need to be the highlight of the website because it is what every uses to find homes they are interested in seeing. To make home pictures the highlight of the website I did the following:

I doubled the size of the home picture on the search results page.  I also re-arranged the layout so that the home information and links are clearly presented.

On the Photo Gallery, I greatly increased the size of the home pictures so you can get a better feel for the home.

Let me know in the comment section if you like the new layout or if you preferred the original layout. Any other suggestions about the website is also welcome.

Warm Regards
