HouseOnMaps.com from an iPhone's POV.

I got an iPhone today and after successfully unlocking it ( After 3 painful trials ), decided to checkout it's legendary and much hyped Safari Browser. So, naturally, the first website that came into my mind was......make a guess (no prizes for guessing right) :p.



FYI, houseonmaps.com wasn't designed to run on iphone at all. I'm just interested to see how crappy it becomes when viewed through an iphone. However, upon entering the index page, I was honestly surprised to see that the page actually managed to load, albeit a bit malformed.




As you can see, the maps is way off it's original position. But besides that, interface wise, the site looks pretty much intact. I accidentally clicked on the refresh button on safari, and when the page reloads, the map was perfectly placed. It made me feel that Safari has some kind of built-in AI.



Next, was the "Post an ad" page. This time around, the whole page loaded correctly and things were at the location they're supposed to be. All in all, I have to salute Safari!! It's the best mobile browser I've laid my eyes on so far. As for me, I'm just thankful that HouseOnMaps is still pleasant looking to the eyes on an iphone. Perhaps we would someday come out with an iphone dedicated version.........but when I think of it, for what leh? Iphone's not even officially launched here yet.

About us

We are a group of 5 graduate students with something in common, "time to spare". Instead of hooking up with girls in a bar or hanging out at a kopitiam drinking and complaining about life, we decided to get together and build this web portal. The idea of "HouseOnMaps" came about while we were searching for a place to rent. We found that it is not easy to find a suitable home with the right price. We scoured the www, and tried contacting agents but couldn't manage to find what we wanted. We felt there is something lacking and we did what 5 people with something in common will naturally do.......just do it ourselves.

HouseOnMaps is, and will, remain a FREE website for people searching for accommodation or wanting to purchase their own property. It is designed to allow users to easily search and find exactly what they want with all the necessary features in, and the unnecessary out. A mash up with Google maps seems to be the perfect fit.

HouseOnMaps will be beneficial to agents/landlords too. We hope that HouseOnMaps will achieve it's objective. Our motto will be our reference point -
"Helping the community is compulsory, profit is optional."
