Products
https://www.mainco.co.uk/products/ the current page is a classic example of a huge amount of very good information buried. It might not have started like this but is not a good way in 2026 to organise this information.
The first step is to organise the products into logical categories. This is my proposed 6 Categories. Whilst they are laid out 6 equally if one was 80% of your business we could major in on that by giving it more space.
From here links would take you into the more detail pages. The current presentation of information will not keep anyone looking for long. If it ever made sense it does not make sense today. There is nothing wrong with the data it is the presentation.
