FurnishNet Unveils New Website
AUGUST 21, 2000

CANTON, MA - With its sights set on enhancing customer service and encouraging greater interaction with its target markets, FurnishNet Inc., a leading facilitator of electronic document trading between companies in the home furnishings industry, today unveils a radically new and completely remodeled Web site at www.FurnishNet.com.

The remodeled site is the result of extensive site evaluation, planning and redesign and possesses more than just a new look and feel. Though it represents the Company's first steps toward instilling a greater sense of community among companies who visit FurnishNet.com, the site strives to create an easy to use hub for all FurnishNet clients.

Among its outstanding new features, the site is more user-friendly and faster to navigate. The site's client area uses 128 bit SSL security and allows users many different ways to customize the way they send and receive electronic business documents.

"Our long-term success as a facilitator of the exchange of business documents is largely defined by our ability to truly understand our customers needs," said Kevin Kelly, Vice President of Operations. "The remodeled site will help us establish a meaningful one-to-one relationship with them, which allows us to better address their needs from a functionality, reliability and security standpoint."

Executives of the company determined that the old site was static and one-dimensional and needed to be redeveloped to provide more benefit to FurnishNet customers and other visitors. According to Kevin Kelly, the new site is a pivotal step in the company's plans to expand its presence in the Internet electronic commerce space.
