I want to cry from Russian real estate sites

    A few years ago he left Russia, and his parents remained in St. Petersburg. Now they faced a housing problem, changing. I took to help them, climbed to real estate sites, ofigel. Ofigel from prices, this by itself. But still ofigel from the sites themselves. After 2005, time seemed to freeze on them.

    My writings have two goals: to discover a normal site for St. Petersburg real estate - suddenly there is one. This is the main thing. And the second goal - sometimes you sit on the ass, and everything seems to be ok ... until you poke your nose into your “business” from the side. So, comrades who deal with bn, bkn, bsn, eip, emls, itaka, these “Internet projects” are not normal, this is not even the day before yesterday.

    Here's how. At least

    Sites that I know of: bn.ru , bkn.ru , bsn.ru , eip.ru , emls.ru , irr.ru , itaka.spb.ru .

    First of all, I will exclude the design. To me, as a front-runner spoiled by bootstrap, they hurt my eyes. Yes, the design is ancient, and in addition to irr, everyone was still using ie5-ie6. And javascript is crammed there like crutches. That kind of hooked up jquery. then some functions and getElementById, and more ...

    Design is the little things. Usability ... also trifles. Yes, the search form is not saved on eip, the “find” button is not clicked on bsn, so I won’t see a separate ad (except through the checkbox and “selected in detail”), but on bn.ru, despite the fact that all are announced in one table, different types of different search forms, and, for example, ads with photos no longer have a filter by area. Not to mention the fact that it is possible to sort in descending order of the availability of the phone (is this Cho at all ??) but not by the date of placement (i.e. we cannot select ads for the last 3 days).

    But that's what I undertook to help my parents. To write parsers, to add data as you like, to track the dates of addition, to draw everything on the map at once is a trifle. For example, as in this article . If there is data.

    After all, in fact,A site is a webmord to a database . The main thing is information, quality and quantity. In my opinion, the first thing that every site should strive for is to improve its base. Make new filters to attain the b about ng bigger content, connect to external systems, to create all new statistical sampling and not just the "graph of the average price meter."

    And here is Lithuania . This is such a country, the population is half that of St. Petersburg. Has anyone heard of her? There is forest, poor people and cows, and there is still no oil and a border with Europe. It would seem, well, what kind of Internet can it be?

    We take domo.plius.lt (advertising :)). The search form is normal, i.e. have it allparameters that on Russian sites + classification by streets and municipal data (type of heating in Lithuania is important). We select an ad from new ones, for example this one (the first one, not an advertisement). It has medium length text and not many photos, no video. (Here is another example where there is more text and there is a video). It can be seen that people are working - the owner is writing the text, the agent is editing the video, because they want to sellan apartment. The administration is not sitting either - check out the new kurgyvenu chip (link Naudinga informacija in the menu and a block under the map). Here are the data: statistics on heating prices from Vilniaus energia, information on air cleanliness and noise, communications, data on the house from the housing cadastre, data from the police department on statistics on offenses in the nearest streets, accessibility rating for vehicles, shops / hospitals / education, and schools - immediately with ratings based on the ege. That's all for this particular announcement. A text page and 15 photos are the norm.

    Now go to bn.ru. Announcement (not advertising). Price, address, area, phone + text - 137184 XSoknaSvet / yard. It's all. Why are you fucking fucking? Is it a buck for a letter to save me a place on the monitor so that I can decrypt it here?

    Sad

    Excuses are drawn immediately. They say we can’t, the ad text is taken from the newspaper, realtors close the information, and the police do not give data for statistics, but there is simply no data on the air. Etc. But for every problem you can come up with a solution if you want. The text for the newspaper is required text for the site, the abbreviations are indicated by checkboxes with decoding. No photos? Take , for example, from google street view , these guys shot all of Peter.

    From the side it is clearly visible that this system is degenerating in Russia, and experts are increasingly getting on an oil needle freebies - they are not interested in anything and do not like their job. Programmers who do not want to get into their own govnokod, managers who are only interested in the number on the counter top.mail.ru, realtors who sleep and think only about how else to restrict access to information so that a random buyer with a direct transaction does not slip past their commission. After all, they also compose texts from 137184 KhSoknaSvet / yard yes 135256 PPD / G, approx. in. , and this is hard work.
