Hi All,

I launched three new radiant sites this weekend:

> **[Jeannie Niles Real Estate Investment](https://www.realestate-investment.com/)**
>
> Investing For Your Future; I'm Your Local Multi-Family Specialist For over 25 years I've helped investors make money in markets both good and bad through Investment Real Estate in the Coachella Valley.

These sites are perfect use cases for Radiant, since they’re small,  
focused sites. Radiant was great because there was so little overhead  
I could start posting content really quickly and focus on the design.  
These sites used to be based on Wordpress and a custom Rails app, but  
I was able to move them over pretty easily without needing to write  
much custom code.

FYI, these sites are all hosted by eApps, using Mongrel and  
mod\_proxy. Performance so far seems decent, though much better than  
when I was using FCGI. I switched to mongrel only because FCGI  
stopped working once rails 1.2 was installed, but this setup is a lot  
simpler.

The only extension I had to write myself simply housed some custom  
utility tags I needed. Now that I have some time to focus on my own  
site, I’ll setup a public SVN repository and send out the URL when  
ready.

Anyway, thanks again. Radiant’s been really great to work with.

christian.

Christian,

Cool sites! Plenty of scope in the real estate market for nifty focussed  
sites. I’d like to stay in the Idyllwind Cabin personallly.

cheers, Ben.

Thanks!

Of course, if you really want a reservation you can use the contact  
form – it’s powered by the mailer extension.

best,  
christian.
