Jacksonville, North Carolina - January 30, 2009 -- Sea Witch Antiques, the premier antiques and collectibles retailer along the eastern North Carolina seaboard, announced the unveiling of their two new websites http://seawitchantiques.com and http://jacksonvillencfurniture.com. Using the new Magento ecommerce application (http://www.magentocommerce.com), the remodeled Sea Witch Antiques and the new Jacksonville NC Furniture (a div. of Sea Witch Antiques) are now live online for public use. These changes are part of the overall strategy by Jean and Dean Hudson, the management of Sea Witch Antiques, enabling easier online product purchasing as well as provide input to the ownership regarding customer wish lists and feedback requests. There is even a news blog within each of the new sites for potential customers and other viewers to keep up with the latest happenings including new product arrivals each week.



Working with the well respected professionals of Michael D. Hudson - Internet Consultant (http://northcarolinaseo.blogspot.com - designer) and MxHub (http://www.mxhub.com - web hosting), these new ecommerce websites were developed and made available to the public in less than three weeks. Both websites load faster than the prior OSCommerce site and are optimized for both Google and Yahoo search engines. The enhanced menu system, expanded shipping and payment options, along with the improved list and grid displays make these new sites substantially more "user friendly" than the old. Some customers have already expressed enthusiasm towards the improved graphic handling within the sites where customers can zoom-in on products to better see minute details otherwise not easily noticed. "The new websites give us much more potential online and easier to manage while making the overall shopping experience for our customers that much more pleasurable," according to Dean Hudson an owner of Sea Witch Antiques.

Products from both sites will soon be available via Google Shopping to further ease the online shopping of regular visitors as well as those who have never heard of Sea Witch Antiques before. Sea Witch Antiques product lines include: Depresson Glass, Flow Blue and Transferware, Toby Jugs and Estate Jewelry. Jacksonville NC Furniture product lines include furniture as antiques, vintage and used through brand new. As Jean Hudson an owner of Sea Witch Antiques says, "We carry from the oldest old to the newest new." Additionally, Jacksonville NC Furniture carries a wide variety of pictures, mirrors and clocks including antique and collectible.

Sea Witch Antiques is located within the revitalized downtown area in Jacksonville, North Carolina with free parking in front of the building and free coffee for visitors throughout the day. Located just down the street from the Jacksonville Council for the Arts (http://www.jaxarts.com) at 826 New Bridge Street and the Jacksonville City Hall building, the downtown area has quickly become a regular shopping experience for those who love antiques, collectibles and local arts.
