New Web 2.0 Shopping Portal For Singapore Online Shops

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 30, 2009 -
Flea.sg (http://flea.sg), is an innovative Singapore online shopping directory that has just officially launched. Flea.sg offers a shopping service catered to the nation's 4 million shopping fans. The website is built on the latest web 2.0 technologies and social networking tools, which helps provide a more engaging and interactive experience to online shoppers and shop owners.

The website features a free Singapore online shop directory, which maintains an updated list of Singapore online shops. Shop owners can visit their website and submit a brief description of their website, and their URL. This submission will then be human-verified and approved. The only requirement that Flea.sg imposes on online shop submissions is for the online shop to have a Singapore presence. In addition to the directory, the website has daily updates to specific stores, so that shoppers can see with one glance, a good variety of newly updated items and their respective shops.

Merchants wanting to stand out from the crowd can also choose to do a "Featured Listing", which showcases their shop and any products that they choose to. This feature is currently limited to only one merchant at any time, guaranteeing exclusivity and a 100% focus during the duration.

In anticipation of the high volume of traffic and the social networking elements necessary for websites these days, Flea.sg chose to use a customised CMS solution, and host it with one of the leading web hosting providers in Singapore, Vodien Internet Solutions (http://www.vodien.com). "We believe that social networking is the way to go, and that people desire the element of community and networking. To do this, we decided that a CMS was necessary to power the backend of Flea.sg, and that a reliable web host was needed to provide us with quality speeds, reliablity, and the ability to scale in the future as Flea.sg grows,"  said Johnny Lim, VP of Business Development of Flea.sg.

Flea.sg has various other features in the works to enhance the online shopping experience that Singaporeans will receive. "We have an exciting roadmap planned ahead for Flea.sg. In the upcoming months, several features will be released that will aim to cement our lead in the Singapore online shopping space," said Johnny Lim. "Our goal is for Flea.sg to be the go-to site for Singaporeans whenever they think of shopping."

Flea.sg is live and accepting submissions from Singapore online shop owners. Visit flea.sg at  http://flea.sg.
