funtigo.gif PRESS RELEASE: Funtigo Adds Small Business E-Commerce Features


SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 01/22/2004 -- Today, Funtigo LLC launched a significant upgrade to its photosharing site, Funtigo.com. �With integrated PayPal e-commerce functionality, 10 free email addresses and search engine optimization support, Funtigo now also targets small to medium-sized businesses. �

These new features supplement the existing features of Funtigo's Deluxe membership program, which includes a free domain name and storage for up to 1,000 photos. �According to Hans Hartman, partner at Funtigo, now small businesses can save themselves the costs of domain name registrars, hosting companies, and e-commerce service providers, because these services are all included in Funtigo Deluxe.

Why add e-commerce capabilities to a photo site? �According to Hartman, this decision was a natural extension of how his customers create Funtigo sites.

"Many of our customers run small businesses that rely heavily on the display of photos to sell their products. �They chose Funtigo because it is the easiest to use and the most flexible in how photos can be displayed, resized, and arranged on their Web pages. �Now they can add 'Buy Now' and 'Add to Shopping Cart' buttons to photos that display items for sale. �For these customers Funtigo has turned into a full-blown catalog site -- an incredibly flexible and, at $5.95 per month, an inexpensive one as well."

According to Jessi Sites, whose Bossame.com Funtigo website sells custom-made purses, Funtigo was the perfect solution.

"For me, someone who doesn't know the first thing about building a website, it is really exciting to have not just a site where I can show my work, but also sell my work."

Pricing for Funtigo memberships starts at $1.49 per month. �Funtigo's Deluxe memberships are $5.95 per month for a two year membership or $7.95 per month for one year. �

Founded in 2002, Funtigo LLC is a privately held company, based in San Francisco, California. Funtigo is a registered trademark of Funtigo LLC. PayPal is a trademark of eBay, Inc. �
