With two locations in Leeds and one in Liverpool IconInc is currently expanding locations across the North to meet the growing demand for luxurious accommodation in the student market, particularly in Leeds.

Alongside community portal Parallax delivered a new booking system, and backend admin system that lets the staff at multiple IconInc locations manage the apartments, see availability and process bookings with plenty of room to expand if additional locations open in the future.


Jamie Sefton – Head of Back-end Development at Parallax commented “The design and development always plays a huge part in keeping users active. With IconInc’s new website, the refreshed booking system should help improve the booking flow and drive more conversions overall, leading to more students finding the right apartment for their stay.”
