I'm Jack Melton, publisher of Civil War News, Military Antique Collector, and The Rampant Colt. For years I have designed and built the websites for my own publishing business, and I now offer that same experience and expertise to dealers, collectors, and historical organizations.
Every site below was designed and built in-house. Click any of them and look around.
