I like to think blogs are like London busses, you wait ages for one and then a whole host come at once.  I’m sorry about that, it’s just about prioritisation, keeping everyone informed is right up there for me, but so is doing boring Chief Exec work, like kissing babies and shaking hands (to be honest it’s really only the latter, but hey I’m not complaining!)

Sure, you want AcuWeb because it gives you a web booking engine out of the box for your shiny new installation of Acumen 9.  But did you know it gives you as many web booking engines as you want?  No?  Well it does.

Obviously we’re talking a lot about AcuWeb at the moment as it races towards it’s beta release, but AcuWeb is only half the story.  We made a commitment to Kelworth customers that we were serious about Accoman/Accowin and we meant it, which is why we’ve also been working hard on Acumen 9, the new version of the system that has the horsepower to drive AcuWeb.

There’s lots of new features under the hood of AcuWeb that are designed to make your life so much easier.  The one we’re most proud of is the way you get pictures onto the website, and how you maximise the impact of your property pictures.

We started the fit out work at the Windsor Works on Monday 18th May, and I thought it would be a great idea to share some photographs of the progress as we go.  Seeing as I have to go onsite every couple of days, I take the opportunity to snap a few pictures.  As most people are never going to see the site in it’s ‘raw’ form, they might appreciate being able to see the transformation in progress!

One of the biggest challenges facing small companies is maintaining their website.  The ability to manipulate HTML directly is not a common skill set, nor should it be.  For that reason, most companies engage a web development company to produce and publish their website.  In many cases, that’s where the relationship ends, and that flashy new website quickly starts to age and the Google ranking quickly deteriorates as the content becomes increasingly less relevant.

Whether or not you class yourself as an I.T. professional, really depends on how many progress bars you sit and watch.  At least it certainly seems like it having seen a fair few of them in my years.  On the plus side it beats the old shrill whine of a tape deck rewinding to the start.

Recently we’ve been inserting some new functionality into Tr@veller Lite.  Alongside that we’ve also been looking at giving it a distinctively different look and feel to the existing Tr@veller product. 

As yesterday I only covered one command, I’ll cover two today instead.  So far I’ve covered two commands, the Search  and Property commands, today I will be focusing on the Price command. The price command a more detailed breakdown of a properties price than the Search command provides, as well as detailing its extras. These extras can include both optional and compulsory extras.
