We custom developed a WordPress website with an integrated database that allows search and filters of 80,000+ antibodies uploaded and managed by multiple third-party suppliers.

INDUSTRY
The wonderful folks at Animal Free Research UK believe that experiments on animals are scientifically and ethically unjustifiable, and that pioneering animal free research provides the best chance of finding treatments for human diseases.
They asked us to build a brand new database showcasing all the antibodies created without using animals during research.
We designed and built a fully custom WordPress solution that allows for both Animal Free Research UK and their approved suppliers to upload and maintain the vast antibody database.


Our custom built solution
We engineered a custom WordPress platform built to scale, managing an integrated database of over 80,000+ antibody records. To keep administration effortless for the client, we built an automated vendor management system where approved third-party suppliers apply for accounts, manage profiles, and bulk-import inventory via standardised CSV templates. Custom background queue workers handle the heavy data processing, automatically adding, replacing, or merging records without requiring any manual oversight.
REAL RESULTS
Increased conversions, time saved, and more engagements.

Built for the users
On the front end, researchers can instantly search and filter listings by provider, antibody type, target species, category, and more. Operating as a completely free resource for both researchers and suppliers, the platform dramatically lowers the barrier to finding ethical tools while demonstrating how complex database architecture can be fast, intuitive, and hands-off.

I’ve worked with Hexagon Webworks since 2015 and they have been fantastic. They are super responsive, essential when you are trading from your website, but were equally patient with us as we were evolving our requirements. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to take their website to the next level and have someone trustworthy manage it.
