What we were asked to solve

Make it easy for people to sell their antiques

Vintage Collections Wales buys antiques, collectables, and house contents across South and West Wales, from private sellers, dealers, collectors, and executors. The website's main job is to bring in things to buy.

It also needed a shop for the stock without taking payments online, so customers reserve a piece or ask a question, and pay on collection.

The result

Every sell request arrives with photos and a status

Sellers describe what they have in a three-step form and add photos from their phone, shrunk to 1600 pixels before they upload. Each request lands in the admin and moves from New to Collected and paid as it is dealt with.

On every screen

The shop, the guide, and the sell form on every screen

The online shop on a desktop, How we work on a tablet, and the sell form on a phone. On the smaller screens the menu folds behind one button, and the three-step form fits the width of a phone.

Why this one worked

Stock added from a phone, straight to the shop

A piece is added from a phone: photos first, then what it is, the category, and a short summary. It can be saved as a draft or shown in the shop straight away, and each piece gets its own reference number.

What we built

  • A three-step sell form with photo uploads
  • An online shop with reserve and question forms
  • A page for each kind of antique bought
  • House and garage clearance pages
  • A stock app for phones
