IDX for real estate webstie

Hey yall!  Has anyone had a real estate customer that needed to use an IDX plugin?  Curious if you know of the best one to use?  thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

I'm a developer and i want to build a real state website on Squarespace and leverage IDX (Internet Data Exchange) to display MLS listings. While I understand Squarespace doesn't have a built-in IDX solution, I'm hoping to get some insights from the community on the best way to achieve this integration.

Here are some specific questions I have:

• Which IDX providers work seamlessly with Squarespace and offer a good balance of features and affordability?
• Could someone share their experience with integrating IDX into Squarespace? Are there any specific tutorials or guides available that can help with the process?
• Once integrated, are there any best practices for using IDX on a Squarespace real estate website to ensure a smooth user experience and lead generation?
• How can I ensure the IDX integration displays and functions optimally on mobile devices?

Hi everyone,

I'm building a real estate website on Squarespace and integrating IDX to display MLS listings. While I'm excited about this functionality, I'm also interested in customizing the appearance and user experience of the listings to better match my brand and website design.

• Can I use HTML and JavaScript to customize the way IDX listings display on Squarespace? Are there limitations to this approach?
• If customization is possible, are there any best practices or guidelines to ensure smooth functionality and maintainability?
• If HTML/JS isn't the best path, are there other ways to achieve some level of customization within the limitations of Squarespace and the IDX provider?

I don't know this, but if you share link to page where you added IDX, I can take a look

@tuanphan Thanks for the reply!

Here's the exact scenario: I have a Squarespace website where I want to display all of my Boat Wizard listings. I'm wondering if there's a specific extension or approach that would be best for achieving this
