Web Projects: Independent Escapes

27th November 2006

Firetail does a lot of consulting work about how people can use the web to improve the way their organisation works. But a successful online project really comes down to the execution. So for us, it makes a lot of sense to have something that can be a showcase, as well as a lab for us to try out some of the things we believe.

Independent Escapes is a site for managing holiday property. We’re launching with nearly 400 properties across the world, with lots in the US, France and Spain. You can show calendars, take payments via paypal and use detailed reporting tools. Inevitably, there is a blog , forum and a tour.

I’ll be posting more on some of its features over the next couple of weeks, as well as some of experiences trying to promote it. For now, go and check it out!
