Netting a property
website has been launched to operate in conjunction with it.
The website, www.islandpropertynews.com, has been launched by publishers Property News Ltd. as a user-friend website for realtors to post listings and for users to navigate. Developed to complement the print version of Island Property News, which has been serving the Bermuda real estate community and home buyers since 1986, the website features listings of real estate for sale and rent. The home page links to various pages including realtor information and postings, PDF files of the current IPN version, contact information, and content provider information and application forms.
Web users can access the site through either www.islandpropertynews.com, www.propertynews.bm and www.IPN.bm. Web users will also be able to access IPN through Logic's newly designed web site wwww.surfbermuda.com.
The site has been added to Logic's portal site as its sole real estate section -- giving exposure to high traffic. All listings are sorted by property name, category, date posted, price or realtor. Subscribing realtors may list unlimited numbers of properties on the site. They may also add, edit and delete existing listings at any time.
The company, owned by PR Ltd. whose major shareholder is Trish Lines , aims to eventually offer banner advertising opportunities to real estate agencies and related services.

DESIGNS ON SUCCESS APP Designs on success The Matcham & Matcham Design firm has announced the appointment of Bermudian Sean Collier as a senior graphic designer within their creative team. Sean, a graduate (with Honours) of the Savannah College of Art & Design, Georgia, has already established a name for himself within the industry, with his edgy designs in web, print and multi-media-based applications.
