James D. Julia Launches New Website for Today’s Auction Enthusiast

Fairfield, ME—James D. Julia, Inc. one of the nation's top ten antique auction houses, is pleased to announce the launch of their newly designed and updated website, which went live January 18, 2014. This essential resource for anyone in the antiques and auctions communities can be found online by clicking here. This new, intuitive, easy to navigate website was reengineered to offer quick and easy access to important information on the company, current auctions, and sales information and is part of Julia’s ongoing efforts to provide the highest quality products, services, and content to buyers and sellers of fine art, antiques, firearms, and collectibles worldwide. 

Julia’s new website features a clean, contemporary interface which elegantly reflects the organization’s core branding, values, and legacy. An enhanced “about us” section, aptly named “Inside Julia’s,” provides an insider’s perspective on the almost 60 year background of the company, as well as an overview of the company’s founding priorities as articulated by James Julia himself more than 40 years ago. The company’s specialty divisions—Rare Firearms; Fine Art, Asian, and Antiques; Lamp and Glass, and Advertising, Toy, and Doll—are each brought to life in an easy to navigate, image rich fashion.

The website has been optimized for speed and load times so it's now faster and easier than ever to explore current auction offerings, or review past sales, with the company’s enhanced search functionality. Additional new website features include full specialist biographies; an expanded media area featuring updated announcements, videos, podcasts, and third-party mentions; and real-time debuts of upcoming auction highlights so enthusiasts can be the first to learn about exciting new finds for their collections. 

According to Mark Ford, CEO of James D. Julia and the force behind this critical project, “I am pleased to be able to present the new Julia's website to our worldwide base of customers and colleagues. This year-long project reflects the careful input and best thinking of many people who worked tirelessly to replicate the authentic ‘in person’ Julia’s experience of honesty and transparency through an electronic channel—not an easy task, to say the least! Julia’s has always strived to lead the industry in bringing constant and relevant innovation to the antiques and auctions world, and this new website—which scales seamlessly to computers, tablets, and hand-held devices—is our next contribution to that charge.”
