 NicaPlaza.com is evolving into a "site of sites" about Nicaragua. Today, you can find the following services here:
- A new reference section (in /ref) is currently in development
- Real estate where you can look for property in Nicaragua. Searching is free but listings are paid for.
- Classified Ads (actually part of the main site) where you can post non-commercial ads for anything except real estate for sale for free.
- Business directory (part of the main site) where businesses can be listed and users can comment. (Note that this service is being de-emphasized. Our conclusion is that Nicaraguan businesses don't yet appreciate the importance of on-line marketing.)
We have a real estate listing system. There are over 300 listings there. Note that unlike the other systems, this system has a separate login and isn't bi-lingual. Hopefully we will be able to address this in the future but, for now, getting the site up was the important first step. Previously, we added free Classified Ads. Any registered NicaPlaza member can put up to six non-commercial classifieds on the site. The Spanish translation is in process. Check it out.

Living Like a Nica, an ebook by Phil Hughes and Ana Patricia Lopez has just been published. Based on personal experience, this book shows how virtually anyone can escape from the rat race today, move to Nicaragua and "start over". It is available at lulu.com for downolad. |

This will be an ever-changing page to keep track of any site problems. It is here to tell me what they are and to tell you what is being done. Known Problems - There is no handling of non-free options. This is because credit card processing isn't in place (plus none of this has been tested). Just smile and accept basic listings are free for now.
- The "print as PDF" option doesn't work. It is currently turned off.
- Accents "matter" in searches. For example, Esteli and Estelí are not considered equal. Looking for the best solution to this one.
Strangeness - One person reported that when they registered they got back a message of garbled characters about how to activate their registration. No clue here. I have temporarily turned off the activation messages.
- Three times, entries waiting for approval haven't shown who submitted the. The third one ( Vulcanizadora Del Sur) is sitting there as there as there is nothing to match in the entry). No clue what users are doing that causes this.
- Two people have had problems entering business directory entries. If this happens to you, please report what the problem was and what OS and browser you are using.
Reporting Bugs If you discover something not working right , please use the Contact Us form and report the problem. This is really beta test time for the site and we expect to find problems. Until we are confident that the basic site and Business Directory is working properly we are holding off on adding the other modules. |
