An antique shop website from ROVQIX costs $349 to $1,290 and takes about a week. It covers your specialisms, valuation services, buying from the public, and a stock approach that works when inventory is one-of-a-kind and turns over constantly.
Antique stock is unique and sells once. That makes a conventional online catalogue almost unmaintainable, and changes what the website should do.
One-page site
Live and working
Domain and content
Care plan is monthly
Periods, makers and categories you actually deal in. Collectors search by exactly this.
What you purchase, how valuation works and whether you do house clearances.
Whether you appraise, what it costs, and whether it is for insurance or sale.
A rotating selection rather than a full catalogue, since stock sells once.
Whether other dealers can buy from you, which is significant volume for many shops.
Because unique stock sells once, and a catalogue full of sold items is worse than none.
It is both your stock pipeline and a high-intent search. Someone clearing an estate is looking for a dealer who buys, and that enquiry is worth far more than a browser.
Set expectations honestly on the page. Most inherited furniture is worth less than the owner hopes, and saying so kindly upfront makes you the dealer people trust with the genuinely valuable pieces.
For most shops, a rotating selection plus marketplace listings for high-value pieces works better than a full catalogue you cannot keep current.
Yes. It brings people through the door with items to sell, and paid insurance valuations are steady revenue in their own right.
Monthly is enough for a rotating selection. What matters more is that it never shows sold pieces as available.
It is a template we adapt to your business — your colours, photos, services and words. It is not a custom design from scratch, which is what makes $349 possible. If you want fully custom, that starts around $2,500 and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your work or your shop, your services and prices, and your opening hours. If you do not have photos, we will tell you what to take with a phone — it is usually enough.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold your site hostage on a care plan.
You keep the site and the domain. You would need to arrange your own hosting, which is usually $5 to $15 a month, and we will help you move it across at no charge.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

A 30-minute call, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline within two to three working days. No retainer required to get a real number, and no obligation if the answer is that we are not the right fit.
