The Challenge
While highly experienced and established, CKS had to ensure their digital presence matches the breadth of what they do. Some likely challenges:
- CKS’s existing website was outdated, difficult to manage, and wasn’t delivering results.
- Adding new products or updating content was overly complicated.
- The site didn’t properly showcase their full range of services and equipment.
- Navigation was clunky, making it hard for customers to find what they needed.
- It lacked a strong visual representation of CKS’s professionalism and 30-year reputation.
- CKS needed a modern, easy-to-update website that would streamline their online presence and help them better serve their customers.
The Solution
I designed and developed a brand-new website focused on usability, scalability, and showcasing CKS’s expertise:
- Clean, modern design reflecting CKS’s reputation for quality and reliability.
- Product catalogue and service pages clearly organised into key categories: Refrigeration, Cooking, Warewash, Laundry, Fabrication, Accessories, and Spare Parts.
- A simple, intuitive CMS so the team can easily update products, services, and content without needing technical expertise.
- Streamlined navigation to help customers find products by category or brand quickly.
- Prominent information on installation, warranties, and service support, giving customers confidence when buying.
- Optimised for mobile browsing, ensuring a great experience on all devices.
The Impact
The new CKS Catering Equipment website is now a central hub for both existing and new customers:
- Staff can easily manage and update content, reducing time and frustration.
- Customers can clearly see the full range of products and services CKS provides.
- The modern design reflects the company’s experience and reliability, reinforcing trust.
- The platform is future-ready, giving CKS the flexibility to expand online offerings over time — including potential direct e-commerce capabilities for spare parts and accessories.
