The brief
Collectors and investors want to see prices and stock at a glance. The old Squarespace site made them dig, and it couldn’t show live market prices at all.
Stock spans thousands of items across coins, stamps and notes, so finding the right piece had to be quick.
Drag the handle to compare the old site with the new one.
Live market data, built in
Very few websites show live prices. Philatelic Heritage shows live bullion prices and live and historical charts for gold, silver, platinum and palladium, alongside the FTSE 100, the Dow and oil. Prices update themselves, so nobody has to change them by hand.
- Updates itselfPrices and charts refresh from market data, with no manual edits.
- Builds trustVisitors see the same market numbers the dealer is working from.
- A reason to come backInvestors can check prices daily on the site that sells the bullion.
