LAPADA Waddesdon Conference
21/04/2010 09:58 Category: News
We were delighted to have had the opportunity to exhibit and demonstrate Antiquity software at the LAPADA conference at Waddesdon Manor on 21st April 2010. This was a mini re-launch for us due to the new pricing (reduced) model and our new status as an endorsed supplier to LAPADA members. In addition to the manor being a most wonderful venue, the day was very productive as we met a lot of new dealers who wanted to know more about us. Looking forward to the next event...
Technique Studios - Website Update
We're delighted to announce that Technique Studios have been appointed as the officially recommended website developers for Antiquity software customer websites. They will shortly be replacing the current website template with a completely new one that looks absolutely amazing (we've already seen the design concepts). Development has already started and should be complete within a month or so. All customer's will have the option to have their website updated at no charge. As previously, each Antiquity website can be customised from within Antiquity software (background colours, font styles & sizes, font colours, logos etc). The new website template also has lots of new features (many of them for those dealing in the art market) and will be released along with an update to Antiquity version 3.0.
We're often asked about the options to further customise your website template, so here's a brief summary: A huge amount of customisation can be done from within Antiquity software, requiring no further investment in external web developers. However, if you want your website to look radically different or add additional pages, then you can either use Technique Studios or your own web developers. We're happy to provide customers' web developers with the files required to undertake further work. Just bear in mind that Technique Studios know how the Antiquity website works better than anyone else and so are best placed to do the work. They also have a top notch design team to help you come up with the look that you want and will make most optional extras available for a fixed price (a price list of optional extras will be published when the new template has been completed).

During our focus groups in 2008/2009 (prior to launching Antiquity), the feedback from prospects regarding the original pricing model was that it was excellent value for money - even the Dealer version originally priced at £2,999. You told us that it was cheaper than having just a website designed, but Antiquity came with a website and all the business management features that you love, so all in all, it was very good value.
After our launch the price turned out to be a major barrier! We've delighted to say that we've listened to you and responded accordingly!
The new pricing model has brought the entry price for Antiquity down to £395 (was £999) and the Dealer version now starts at £595 (was £2,999). We've also separated out the website features, so dealers can choose whether or not to replace their existing website with a new Antiquity website. We've also made the pricing much clearer for additional users and monthly fees for the hosting & support package.
