HydraForce designs and manufactures hydraulic cartridge valves, manifolds, and electro-hydraulic controls at global scale. We overhauled UX/UI, rebuilt the site and CMS to make a deep catalog easy to browse, added SEO foundations, and continue on retainer. Fast to find, easy to spec, simple to request a quote.

HydraForce's original website was functional but lacked the modern aesthetics, user experience, and seamless integration needed to capture the attention of their growing global audience.
Built like a tool, not a brochure. Clean layouts, readable type, and faceted search get engineers from browse to spec fast. Structured specs and mobile-ready tables keep details clear and organized.
Minimal layout, maximum focus. Clear hierarchy, measured spacing, and a cohesive palette make specs readable and paths through the catalog obvious.
A straightforward layout: clear headings, scannable blocks, and consistent placement for specs, downloads, and actions. Fewer clicks to what matters most.
We tuned the site for how engineers actually search—model numbers, series families, and application terms. Product data is normalized, specs are structured, faceted URLs are under control, and the right pages are fast, indexable, and easy to link to.

Indexed coverage quality
Clean labels, consistent placement, and a clear primary action per page. From product to quote or distributor in a couple taps. Tracked end-to-end for real insight.
One system across breakpoints: the layout reflows cleanly, type scales, and images swap sizes. Tap targets stay friendly, tables scroll smartly, and key actions remain visible. So it looks right and works right anywhere.
Search by model, family, or function; filter by flow, pressure, size, and ports. Sticky filters and range sliders cut the catalog to the right fit fast.
1/7
With the catalog organized and the UI out of the way, engineers can find, compare, and act in a few clicks. Quotes are up, session quality is stronger, and the right pages earn more organic traffic. The CMS is simple to run so new products, markets, and content go live quickly and stay consistent.
