Villa Hunters

Our listing websites are focused on specific countries or regions, we build them initially using a process of applying our custom web technology on to a new site.

Once the mechanics are in place we spend time looking at the specific areas that make up the country and divide it up into sub regions and then towns and resorts.

At this stage we have the outline of the website but that’s not a lot of good without any properties to display to visitors.

Okay, I have explained the original Villa Hunters concept but how does this relate to this OwnersHQ website?

Well, with a business model like Villa Hunters there are two different audiences to which we must cater, holidaymakers and you, the property owners.

Looking for a way to attract potential renters they asked me, being the family ‘computer whiz’, to help find somewhere to advertise it. [Read more…] about What Is Villa Hunters All About?
