Website Wonder for Historic Market
SWANSEA people across the UK and the World will soon be able to order tastes of home from the city's historic market with the click of a mouse.
A website has now been launched for the famous attraction and includes information on units and products, a guide to the market's history, a floor plan diagram and details of opening times. It's gone live in the run-up to Christmas and will see features such as an interactive map, a fly-through video and links to individual trader websites added early next year.
Jon Llewellyn, Swansea Council's city centre team leader for markets, said: "We wanted to get the website up and running in time for the festive season to show people both here in Swansea and elsewhere exactly what's available in Swansea Market.
"The attraction already enjoys a fantastic reputation and makes an important contribution to Swansea's standing as a distinct shopping experience but going online will further bring the facility into the 21st Century at a time when shoppers have more access to information than ever before.
"This website is very much in its early stages and the New Year will see several other strands added that will benefit both traders and shoppers."
Cllr Chris Holley, Swansea Council Leader, said: "Many projects have taken place in Swansea city centre in recent times that have given the pedestrianised area a modern feel. "Street broadcasting units have been installed, a giant screen has gone up at Castle Square and close to £4million has been spent in a partnership scheme with the Welsh Assembly Government on improving the appearance and quality of the area.
"The market website will help promote the attraction to even more people than ever before and will attract more shoppers into the city centre at a time when construction work on the landmark three-storey retail complex on Princess Way is also close to completion. "Swansea Market's traders and visitors have a lot to look forward to."
Other aspects of Swansea Market's new website focus on information for existing and prospective traders and contact details for travel groups that may be interested in arranging a visit.
