LACONIA, N.H., April 1, 2011 � Laconia Antique Center, New Hampshire’s largest antique store, has launched a new website designed by area web design firm Danconia Media.
The site � located at www.thelaconiaantiquecenter.com � features information about the center’s dealers, featured products, its history and contact details. The new site better equips the center to market itself online to collectors throughout New England and beyond.
Tom Smith, the center’s general manager, said he chose Danconia Media for the project after seeing websites its creative team had developed for other local businesses. He said he was highly pleased with the project’s outcome, calling the website and service “first rate” and “world class.”
“Being new to the world of Internet antiquing, we really weren’t sure how or what to create,” Smith said. “Luckily for us, Danconia’s process walked us through every step and enabled us to grow in the future. Customers from all around the world can now see what we have to offer, and this benefits all of our dealers exponentially.”
Danconia created the site using a highly user-friendly, yet robust, content management system (CMS) that the center’s staffers can now use to add, remove and modify its content in-house. This empowers the business to keep its web presence current without having to pay exorbitant fees to a third-party agency. CMS training was included in the web design package.
The project was headed by Max Bittle, who joined Danconia as a web designer in March. He said the project was fun for him.
“Being one that loves all things vintage, I absolutely enjoyed working on every detail of the Laconia Antique Center’s website,” he said. “The creative challenge of mixing an antique style into a modern website was one that I thoroughly enjoyed.”
Located at 601 Main Street, Laconia Antique Center has more than 22,000 square feet of space and over 150 dealers. The center stocks a wide variety of collectibles, including vintage furniture, toys, lamps, artwork, glassware, maps, advertisements, stoneware, jewelry and war memorabilia, among many other things.
