The site "www.OnTheMap.ie", our first, ground up written in Ruby on Rails is being launched before the summer. We'd love some serious constructive feedback on the site itself, look and feel and ease of use. The concept was to go away from the overcrowded web page look, trying to keep it very clean and easy to see things, and of course logical to use.
In addition, as part of our market research we're asking everyone we meet whether they think that a 'Yelp.com' - like Review Based Yellow Pages is something the small businesses in Ireland, those that don't have any web presence or are currently paying too much for or not getting enough benefit from existing directories ... is worth being a part of ?. Hard question, but ... what would small businesses be willing to pay annually for having such a listing ?, and more crucially, are the Irish ready to 'give their opinion' on that Butcher, Dentist, Mechanic, Chemist, Cafe, etc ?.
If this is the wrong forum to ask the second question, apologies I'll post it in the correct place ... once someone can point me in the right direction :0).
In either case, all input ... good and otherwise ... is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Attila
