Mobile is going to be big, so what better way to dig your heels in by making a web site that’s made with that in mind. For a while I had been thinking about what to do with the Trade Me API, and it hit me just before Christmas last year that there are lots of Google Maps + Trade Me Property mash-ups, but not many specifically for open homes.

So, Get a Home was born.

By using new HTML5 and CSS3 tricks and techniques, I was able to build up a web site that could be used on the PC, iPhone and iPad (Android too, but it’s not tested). It took a while, and some lost weekends, but it is finally here.

I’ll cover off some of the things I did on the site on here over time. And hopefully new features can start pouring in now that some of the little niggles on the site have been fixed (I hope). Let me know what you think!
