    Does anyone know which company designed the Myhome.ie website? I remember it being on the companies portfolio page.

    Can't remember the name of the company do for the life of me. Webzone, Webtrade etc..

    Cheers.

    Phil

    I preferred the Webfactory one but the new one is nice too. Not happy with the usability/functionality of the property slideshow, the way it was done on the old site was a lot more user-friendly.

    MyHome.ie beats the pants off DAFT.ie though.

    What both of these sites are missing is a workspace, ie. my wife and I can share an account where we can add properties, make notes on properties, viewing times etc. etc. I bought a house recently and a feature like that would have been great.

    The MyHome iPhone app is pretty desperate.

    Are you serious? Certainly from a design and functionality POV, I think Daft.ie is absolutely streets ahead of MyHome.ie. To be honest, I've always thought MyHome.ie was pretty crap. I haven't had a chance to look at the new design though.

    Agree with you about the workspace though. Assuming there are full-time design and development teams working on these sites, they should be a fair bit more advanced then they are.

    Yep, completely. I spent about 5 months looking for a house last year and after a month or so I had given up on DAFT and was using MyHome almost exclusively.

    I think the fact that the property thumbnails are above the fold in MyHome is a very strong point (plus DAFT's 45px thumbnail size renders them pretty much useless). When I'm searching for a property I fly through the serp and open any of the properties I'm interested in in a new window, I'd open 10 or so at a time before going back and looking at each one individually - having to scroll down to see the thumbnails x 10 gets tedious, especially when I'm doing it 2 or 3 times a week.
