All new ParkatmyHouse.com is here!

Filed under: Story, Website News — Anthony Eskinazi @ 3:30 am

After months of blood, sweat and tears, the new version of ParkatmyHouse.com is finally here! We have tweaked almost every page and have also added a number of new features, which we hope will make your parking life a little bit easier:

Reliability Ratings – Have you ever tried getting in touch with a parking space owner but never heard back from them? If so, then this new feature is for you. The reliability rating indicates the likelihood of you getting a quick response from an owner. Ratings are calculated automatically and take into account the number of unread messages in an owner’s ParkatmyHouse.com inbox, the date of an owner’s last login, the number of days it takes an owner to reply to a message, etc.

An owner’s reliability rating is displayed in the ‘Parking Space Owner Information’ box at the top of each page that shows the details of a parking space (see below):

Details Page

Booking a Parking Space – We got rid off the annoying monthly declaration forms and replaced them with what we hope is an intuitive booking process.

Once you’ve agreed to rent or let out a parking space, simply click on the ‘Complete booking’ button on the message center page. This will create a booking confirmation with all the agreed transaction details.

Much easier than the previous declaration nonsense, wouldn’t you agree?

New My Account Page – We have also completely revamped the ‘My Account’ page by reducing the clutter, removing the confusing menus and making all the functionality accessible with just one click!

My Account Page

All the main functionality is now accessible from four main tabs – Messages, Bookings, Invoices and Parking Spaces.

  • Messages – This tab displays your messages from other users. To read or reply to a message simply click on the message itself. To send a message, click on the `Contact Owner` button on the page that shows details of the parking space.
  • Bookings – This tab displays your confirmed booking reservations. A parking space can be booked by clicking on the ‘Confirm Booking’ button during a message exchange with a parking space owner.
  • Invoices – This tab displays the invoices that have been issued by ParkatmyHouse.com to parking space owners.
  • Parking Spaces - This tab displays your parking spaces (if any).

The rest of the site functionality is still available from the links displayed below the main tabs.

We have tweaked almost every other page as well, so please let us know how we are doing!
