Please give us a short summary of your website?
Prop2Go is a software company dedicated to creating software solutions for the realestate industry. Currently, Prop2GO has created an initial prototype web application called Prop2Go. The software is used by property owners across Canada to manage and promote their property. Prop2Go uses the Prop2Go software as a medium to connect property owners and property seekers. The Prop2Go software allows property owners to advertise their property (e.g. houses, apartments, condos, commercial property, and land) that is for sale, rent, and lease online.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
Prop2Go wants to make it easy to find and sell real estate online. Our software is a medium to connect property owners and property seekers.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
In February, 2007 Prop2Go was launched.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I was trying to find a .com that somewhat matched what our company was about, which can be very tough. We found Prop2Go and went with that.
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
We service all property types, real estate for sale, apartments for rent, commercial for sale and lease. We also provide notification services for property seekers, to make it easier to find property. We also provide a portal to property owners. This is atypical of competitive software companies and property sites.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
To service a global market.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Business is going very well.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
Our software would grow more rapidly, with many new features.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Yes, our application was designed to be very scalable.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Raising capital has been a challenge at times.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Finding good resources.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Traditional and online marketing.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
Not much different from what I expected, I have been developing software and web applications for over 12 years now.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
The site has been up for over a year now. I have no plans on taking it down.
