The Brief

The Brief

Lawton Tubes approached Bond Media to rebuild a website that had to serve four very different technical audiences without becoming four different websites.

A specifier sourcing medical gas tube to a particular standard, a merchant checking coil sizes and an OEM buyer pricing machined components all arrive with different vocabulary and different urgency. The brief was to make a large technical catalogue genuinely navigable, surface the certifications and datasheets that decisions actually hinge on, and give a business of more than a century's standing a digital presence to match.

The Result

The Result

The new site organises the entire range around the four sectors Lawton serves, so visitors start from the job they are doing rather than from a product code. Clean, technical layouts give specifications room to breathe, and the heritage of the business is present without ever getting in the way of the task.

A structured product catalogue puts technical data, standards and dimensions on every product page, with a download centre collecting datasheets, certifications and declarations in one place. A rebuilt information architecture, product structured data and a considered performance pass support organic visibility, while event tracking gives the team a clear view of which products, downloads and sectors are driving enquiries.

Premium Features

Premium Features

To turn a large technical catalogue into a working sales tool, Bond Media introduced a premium feature set focused on findability, technical depth and measurement:

Sector-Led Product Catalogue A structured catalogue organised around plumbing, ACR, medical and engineering, with full technical data, standards and dimensions on every product page.

Download Centre A single, filterable home for datasheets, certifications, declarations and brochures, removing the back-and-forth that slows technical specification.

Technical SEO & Product Schema A rebuilt information architecture with product structured data, giving more than a century of expertise the organic visibility it deserves.

Custom Analytics Layer Event tracking across products, downloads and enquiries, feeding a live reporting dashboard so the team can see exactly what drives demand.
