QueenzFancy.com is born!

Initially, I have plans to start mobile based development activities while I was about to resign. Once I have resigned, an idea popped out to start a small shopping website which motto is to sell hand picked quality accessories. While I was building this site many times interferences happened to slow the progress. It was dragged by all possible means like bank, payment gateway, technical aspect & family situations. Finally We have arrived at here. It is good feel for me to start this. Still there are things to be improved in the site. Your Support is important for us to grow. Please check out our website www.QueenzFancy.com Have to go back to square one(Mobile Dev.....).
