Welcome to the Gite Guru web site. I’m Dave, and i’m launching this site to help gite and cottage owners in France to market their properties for rental online. The site will grow organically as i add articles and blog posts with handy hints and tips for getting your gite online and in the gite-renting public’s gaze.
With over 11 years of internet marketing and web design experience, I can confidently say i know a thing or two about the subject and i’m happy to share that knowledge with you, for free. If you’re interested in knowing more about me, my experience, and what i now do for a living, check out the ‘about’ section of the site. Hopefully having spent most of my career teaching clients and employees about the internet, you’ll find i can explain things in laymans terms without too much ‘geek-speak’. Read More
Announcing the launch of Mental About Rental
Been a bit busy over the last few weeks on my new project Mental About Rental.
I’ve been playing around with the idea for a while now of creating a directory of directories for the holiday rental sector, as it strikes me that there’s a lot of directories making a lot of claims about what they can do for rental property owners, but very little informed, reliable and impartial information to help rental owners decide which directories to list in.
Mental About Rental aims to improve that situation by providing a community around the directories listed. As well as providing information about the directory (including costs to list where available), the website allows registered users to rate and comment on the individual directories, sharing their experiences and learning from each other. In doing so, the site will help rental property owners in their purchasing decisions.
The site is just launched, so I’d appreciate any feedback (design, usability, content, ideas, etc). It’s free to use, and free for directories to list their directory, so please, leap in and help me to create a really useful resource for the holiday rental sector.
