Great new St Andrews website

Postby shopsinstandrews on Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:02 pm

Check out :

http://www.shopsinstandrews.co.uk

It's a brand new website showing info on all shops and businesses in central St Andrews. You can navigate all of the businesses by street, by category and on a map. Plus businesses which will be signing up in coming days will have extra information such as contact telephone numbers, contact email address, website link, photos of shop, online menus and bar lists etc.

You can find 45 categories ranging from bars and pubs, to greengrocers, to clothes shops to golf or chocolatiers.

And all this for free to you, the St Andrews student. It even subdivides into individual maps for The Scores, North Street, Market Street, and South Street.

It might be useful for finding obscure places that aren't covered by Googlemaps. But it needs to be more comprehensive

Agreed. We're working on our own maps at the moment because Google maps doesn't show shops very clearly and only shows some of them.

This is an example of North Street: http://www.shopsinstandrews.co.uk/streets/north-street/
Soon you'll be able to zoom in and drag the map around, much like on gmaps.

We'll also be adding a lot more information to individual pages depending on what the shops tell us.

To be honest I agree. Although I was amused by the about us page.

Slightly less than half decent Idea.

Slightly less than utterly dreadful implimentation.

Slightly less then zero chance of making money from it.

It's not unique or innovative and you'd do well to have comprehensively put together the entire thing in detail and in full before even going live.

I've seen more professional looking geocitys pages from 1998.

At least they're not selling platinum belt buckles.
