The Holiday Ferret Conquerors Design Hurdle

It has been a long road to get to this point, but the design hurdle that had dogged two previous designs has finally been conquered: The Calender.

Making a holiday calender that can be updated, stored in a database and subsequently displayed is not as easy as it sounds, and I’m pleased to say we’ve finally cracked it.

With the calender under our belts most of the site is complete.  Graphic and user interface design tweaking, rigourous testing, and decisions on what other modules to include are to be decided.

Payment methods are another area of debate in the Holiday Ferret camp as well.

Though we have still a way to go to pull through on other terms, it is nice to know that the hard work is beginning to pay off.

The site is also taking shape with many problems we had on the first redesign being ironed out.

The Holiday Ferret Targets Holiday Makers on a Limited Budget

The Holiday Ferret, feels that in today’s world of cuts and cutbacks, the self catering holiday rental apartment keeps this years vacation or holiday, affordable.

Main Body

An industry that is often hit by world economics is tourism. Scrapping the vacation or holiday is an easy option to choose when households try to save money, and many miss out on a much needed and deserved two weeks in the sun. Companies and individuals whose livelihoods depend on tourist income also suffer. It is in essence a cruel scenario.

The Holiday Ferret, feels that the vacation or holiday can still be affordable, and has pointed out two savings from electing to stay in self catering accommodation, as the holiday makers save on the cost of accommodation sometimes as much as 40%, and also the cost of food is greatly reduced, as tourists make their own rather than buy it from restaurants and food outlets. The Holiday Ferret feels that this can be a significant factor in saving money.

The Holiday Ferret, which is a worldwide holiday rentals site, is about to re-launch early next month, and has formed two policies which will benefit both vacation rental owner, and holiday maker.  Together with travel news and views, the site promises to be good for the vacation property owner, as well as the traveller and tourist.

At the time of writing, The Holiday Ferret did not want to divulge any more features that are open to users of the site, as many were still being finalised. They did say however, that they hope that people acknowledge that the much need vacation was still affordable providing that he or she did a little research to get the best deals, and that self catering offered some of the most affordable and suitable vacation accommodation available today.

Databasing, Security, and Data Entry on The Holiday Ferret

The backend functionality is coming together nicely for Ferret.  Many security issues from the old site have been addressed, and database controllers have been implemented to make retrieving information much faster.  The mammoth task of imputing data locations around the world is the next phase in the project and this is promising to be a long and arduous endeavor.  The results of the effort however, will simply make The Holiday Ferret a much better site to use from all types of user perspective.
