    Hello,

    Soon we will be actively working on my newest project..

    http://www.housephotos.org

    If you are wondering the concept it basically is going around my city and taking pictures of houses and documenting their location.

    I had a programmer do the script, and it works with bulk excel upload etc.

    Currently, only one house in the database.. please search using the following on the site to see an example..

    197
    Northmont Drive
    Statesville
    NC


    Review the site and let me know what you think of the idea!

    Well your idea is really refreshing and the script is really nice , but now all it needs is a graphics makeover and some content.

    Regards,
    Ace.

    Thanks guys.

    I have a car magnet, and when that arrives this week we will begin the project. I have notified sheriff office to tell them of our intentions in a lengthy email, i feel this project is very unique - which is mostly why I am attempting it.

    Great Idea... Good luck with it...

    How about a page title instead of "Home" and a custom IE icon.

    i would upgrade to a newer look it looks to generic but i love the idea you should really focus on this i think it could make it big its new and nice you might want to look for some investors that might be willing to invest some money in this idea.

    The only way revenue will be generated is through advertisements..

    Yes, and that plan has already been worked out :)

    I can easily get this project in the paper, then of course everyone in the town will SEE if their house is listed - if they don't look up anyone elses house they will surely look up their own.

    I'm not even intending on making cash from this, I was just stating where the revenue was going to come from since someone mentioned investors.

    Major reason for starting this is to put on my resume for college - wanting to attend USC (uni of southern cal).

    Also, Just got my hands on a nice bulk watermark --> resize program.

    I like idea, not so much the website, it just doesnt seem professional. The last time I looked at the site I didnt know you had so many staff! What is the purpose for some of the random ones? And the pictures look to much like Myspace pictures.

    And yes you know me.

    Nice site and nice concepy, but i was wondering, would you not need permission from the house owners to display their address and pictures of their home? :confused:

    Hi,
    Looks like a great site and also a good idea. I would put a header on it with maybe some type of image. Also, I would make sure to add plenty of content to the site before going live. I would work some more with the colors. Good luck with it!

    so much information on the net is scary:rolleyes:
    overall good design maybe just a bit more color but it serves well for its purpose.
