Minimum Viable Product To Test The Market
The website features a comprehensive booking process, allowing the supplier some flexibility on their acommodation, such as:
- per-date pricing allowing for peak holiday seasons to have a premium price
- Additional costs based on number of users
- Ability to book multiple 'rooms' for parties of people
- Ability to define their own extra (such as evening camp fires)
- Ability to specify booking in and checking out times
Booking was simple and safe. The customer confirms the booking by paying the total bill into an escrow. Should the customer wish to cancel, they would get a full refund unless the cancellation was within a certain range of the booking date, of which 10% would be paid to the supplier as compensation.
The site appeared to attract the attention of AirBnB, with the site recieving a curious number of visits from San Fransisco as social media announcements were made for the progress. Though ultimately the project was abandoned due to poor financial forecasts and a lack of available time commitment.
