AUSTIN, TX -- SiteStuff, Inc., the leading electronic-marketplace for the commercial real estate industry, today launched a newly designed Web site that enhances its ease of use by customers. The renovated site is powered by technology providers Ariba Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBA) and Vignette Corp. (Nasdaq:VIGN).

Reflecting customer feedback, SiteStuff has expanded product and service offerings on the Web site to include current trends in the industry and new technologies available in the marketplace. This strengthens SiteStuff's ability to help customers save time, money and gain better control of their purchasing procedures.

"At SiteStuff, we focus on improving the purchasing process for real estate professionals at every level," said Michael Stewart, chief executive officer, SiteStuff. "That's why we've designed our site to be user friendly, functional and easier to navigate so our customers can quickly access the products and information they need."

In addition to the crisp, clear design, SiteStuff's Web site uses new features that are more functional for customers and can be customized to their tastes. With the new technology enhancements, SiteStuff can integrate directly with customers and suppliers. This provides increased visibility to customers, but it decreases the tedious, manual processes and replaces them with a new, easy to use interface.

For example, through Ariba® Marketplace and Ariba Dynamic Trade, SiteStuff users can execute online routing and approval procedures, review customer-specific catalogs and complete formal Request for Proposals. The new site also offers a consolidated resource section where all content, including product guides, discussions, tips and trends, bookshelf, news and the link library, is compiled.

The Vignette® V/5 E-Business Application Platform™ allows SiteStuff to customize content to individual users as well as provide superior customer service through increased marketing and customer-tracking capabilities. SiteStuff also has streamlined the purchasing process through a new tool called "My Stuff," which lets users easily manage their account with personalized shopping lists, order status, enhanced product data and improved product search capabilities.

SiteStuff's new Web site also includes a step-by-step introduction on the new features to help users become familiar with the new site. Another added benefit to customers is real-time, instant help which provides immediate customer assistance from any area of the site.

SiteStuff deploys its electronic-procurement solution to customers who comprise the real estate industry's leading property owners and management companies. The company was recognized as "One of the Most Promising Business-to-Business Web Sites" in Forbes Magazine's recent "Best of The Web" listing and was listed on Localbusiness.com's "50 To Watch" list for 2001.
