News about Vacation Home Exchange, Independent Living Institute
Since 1998 our Accessible Home Exchange Service has been very popular getting the most traffic of the whole ILI site www.independentliving.org, which presently attracts a total of 1,200 unique visitors a day. Read about a successful swap here.
Given the present lack of access features in the mainstream home exchange services there is a place for our service. But many more could enjoy the service, if we offered database features such as password-protected editing, automatic email messages asking members to confirm or remove their listings, digital pictures of homes and access features, etc. Some of these features would also reduce our administrative work. But to upgrade the service costs money which we do not have.
We need your advice and feedback:
- Is the service important enough to our visitors to warrant a (for us sizeable) investment in database programming?
- Are users willing to contribute to the costs?
- Shall we ask for donations or charge an annual subscription fee, and if so, how much?
Please, go to the poll and give us your view in the Vacation Home Exchange Discussion Forum.
Sincerely,
Adolf Ratzka
