OUR ROLE
WordPress Web Design | Support & Hosting
INDUSTRY
Deben UK came to Hexagon Webworks looking to transform their online presence and elevate their digital brand. As a global pioneer in precision engineering and in-situ microscopy instrumentation, their previous website didn’t fully reflect the advanced nature of their technology, nor did it offer the seamless user experience required by international scientific researchers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Following a comprehensive discovery phase and audit, we recommended a completely bespoke WordPress website tailored to map out their wide product ranges and diverse scientific applications seamlessly.


Our custom built solution
To give the client complete autonomy over content management, we custom-built a WordPress website using our own boilerplate based on Bedrock rather than relying on restrictive, heavy page builders. Designed and developed with scalability at its core, this approach ensures clean code, maximum security, and rapid load times for international users. We also integrated BIOZ for publications, and citations at product level.
The new site structure was meticulously planned around a tripple-pathway navigation system, allowing users to browse either by product category (such as Tensile & Compression Stages or Scanning Electron Microscopy Solutions), or by industry application or application. This ensures that academic researchers and engineering teams can instantly find the exact testing solutions compatible with their specific SEM, X-ray CT, or synchrotron configurations. The design also foregrounds high-resolution technical imagery, clear specification data tables, and seamless inquiry paths to maximise lead generation.
REAL RESULTS

The result
The new Deben UK website delivers a premium digital experience worthy of a world-class scientific manufacturer. Since launch, user navigation has been dramatically streamlined, ensuring that complex scientific data is accessible and engaging across all device sizes.
We continue to work closely with the team at Deben UK to monitor performance, refine content paths, and support their ongoing digital growth.

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.
