After many years of developing their own web presence HMK were looking for a solution to streamline their web updates and 'professionalise' their web design. Duo helped on both of these issues by implementing our Duo CMS system which enables rapid updates of the site. At the time of writing the site has already had many hundreds of pages added without any training, proving our system is both intuitive and easy to use.

In design terms we brought the site right up-to-date with a clean and elegant design which 'celebrates' the technical nature of the product sold by HMK by showing them off in all their detail. Using large hi-resolution images the products are really shown in their best light, in many cases more like jewellery than engineering components.

The numerous plug-ins which have been added to the base CMS system means the site has advanced functionality including an in-site search facility, e-commerce and member's area. We are also hoping to help the site improve it's rankings on the search engines and rapidly move up the natural search results.
