Huxley Bertram – a fresh new website to inform and impress

Client

Cambridge based engineering and automation company, Huxley Bertram, provide a full ‘conception, design and manufacture service’ of bespoke machinery for pharmaceutical, medical, electronic and other technology driven industries. Experts in innovation they give you everything from consultancy, prototypes, technology demonstrators and high precision equipment right the way through to fully automated production machines.

Challenge

The Logic House was asked to design, build and implement a fresh new website that would appeal to an audience that comprised mainly of engineers, and provide them with important reference facilities.

Solution

The result was a modern looking, engaging new website that incorporated design, navigation and usability to reflect its informed audience. Most importantly, it does everything it needs to without being boring! We included the following specific features:

Video and image library: Store images, download them, upload them; use them as you wish. This software allows Huxley Bertram to put together and manage a person image library. They can now use their images at any time and adapt them to suit their website.

Login and registration facility: This simple but effective software allows Huxley Bertram to grow their database of contacts. It also helps them recognise users and give them different levels of access to specific areas of their site.

User management: Being able to sort your users into groups, by industry, company, demographics, etc. is a valuable administration tool. It lets the client quickly search and edit contacts and maintain clear contact history.

Document resources/library: Because many of Huxley Bertram’s web visitors will be looking for resource information, this software lets them sort those visitors into members or permission level users that can see more of the site than others. The administration is quick and library resources are easily added, edited, or deleted.

News facility: As respected authorities in their field, Huxley Bertram is keen to demonstrate that they’re up to date with industry news. The ‘news facility’ identifies relevant external news items and allows the client to create their own. They can then publish them directly onto the website at the touch of a button.

Contact form: A great way of getting all the details the client needs to be able to give a truly well rounded service. A contact form looks professional, gathers data and saves them valuable time and money filtering calls.

Flash animated slideshow: Huxley Bertram wanted to make their site dynamic so in order to give visitors an engaging insight into their world they added moving images. Flash also gives you a chance to ‘explode’ complex machinery so that visitors can see it in more detail. It’s the perfect software to give their website the modern feel and energy it needs to stand out.
