iDex7 Portfolio Websites provides a look at Antique-Marks, your complete guide to antique terms, antique periods, styles, pottery marks, porcelain marks, trademarks and manaufacturers.
Antique Marks is owned and operated by iDex7 and was first setup on 18th March 2005. We use a 2 Column CSS driven template to present this website. We feel the color scheme is put together really well and suits the subject matter. The site presents really well and any visitor will immediately realise that this is a site about antiques.
Antique-Marks is a large site in a relatively specialised niche and currently has a significant number of pages indexed in Google and Yahoo. There is a wordpress blog, an antiques directory, RSS feeds, an auctions calendar and a really well presented antiques shop. We use PHP with MySQL databases to seamlessly integrate funtionality into the main site which is hosted with SBI.
We have a great passion for antiques and a comprehensive knowledge of pottery and porcelain marks, and have put together a beautifully crafted site using a full suite of website building tools and resources.
