HomeGuide123

December 31, 2005

Once in a while we run across a web resource worth noting. We found this one called HomeGuide¹²³.com. I was somewhat impressed with the breadth of content, organization, cleanliness and no ads. Just straight forward information from lawn care, landscaping, flooring and heating/cooling to remodeling, satellite TV, loans and swimming pools. It is like a mini encyclopedia for the homeowner. Here's an excerpt from the home page:

HomeGuide123.com was designed by a staff of individuals who understand how important—and expensive—home ownership can be. Our team believes in providing our visitors with the most practical, up-to-date home care information possible so that they can protect their investment. HomeGuide123.com's writers and developers have designed a comprehensive, user-friendly directory containing articles, tips and additional resources dealing with a wide array of topics, such as home improvement, services and remodeling. Our articles are original, thoroughly researched and written with a homeowners needs in mind. We will continue to improve this resource to better serve our visitors, so we welcome their comments and suggestions.

The publishers are rather anonymous. Whoever they are, they are attempting to do a good thing. My only criticisms are the lack of depth in some areas (although, this is not necessarily a "How To" site for the do-it-yourself crowd) and they reference other web resources with URLs that are not linked for navigation. It is organized like a blog but doesn't have the features of a blog.

There has to be a financial motive here somewhere but, I can't find it. There's a Resource Section but it doesn't appear to be financially driven.

Might want to check it out.
