Yew Tree Antiques are a fledgling Antiques business, based in the Home Counties of England. A company that has lasted for over 30 years must evolve and part of the evolution included a new website to promote events for the company, and also provide an online catalogue for stock.

Yew Tree Antiques have many outlets for their unique stock, not only limited space to display all year-round. Often (especially international) potential customers take a business card from an antiques fair, but were not able to re-view the items they had seen or show the items to others at a later date. All these situations and more meant that a 24-hour/365 day catalogue, which is constantly refreshed with new items through a simple browser-based interface made complete sense.

In 2008, Yew Tree Antiques used ProAction Networks to design and built that site, which continues to evolve. Recently overhauled with a new CMS (Content Management System) and design it goes from strength to strength and thanks to the SEO-optimisation, it regularly features highly on Google and other popular search engines.

Anna Maggs - a Director at Yew Tree said:

"We are casual computer users, and we wanted a website that would be quick to learn how to manage and look good! We wanted it to show our stock all year round and publicise our attendance at antiques shows and fairs. ProAction Networks turned out to be ideal in providing the site, design, hosting and tuition which we needed to get us through this particular evolution of the business."
