Right now, we’re adding some of the last major features that we wanted to include with the site. We’re working on getting users’ profile pages up and setting up a property manager for landlords to edit the properties that they’ve listed. That will probably be the most time consuming part of the process.

We’ve scheduled to get the site up and running for a beta release in 2 weeks, so sometime in the beginning of August. From there we’ll be contacting landlords in the Bethlehem area to start adding their properties and getting them excited and interested in the (free) service we’re offering.

From there, once we hopefully get a lot of listings for Lehigh University, we’ll start advertising it to students there. Lehigh will be the only school we’re going after right away, so if it works there, we’ll try to get it to more schools. We’re open to suggestions about getting landlords to use the site.

Throughout the next few weeks you can expect more notes about our development process.

Best,
Mike

We set this blog up during the development stage of Spotsie.com to track thoughts on problems and design issues that we’ve overcome. Later on, we’ll post info on updates to the site and upcoming features that we add. Read it to find out more about the developers behind this little site. Ciao!
