Overview
DFT Instruments are a leading provider of Coating Thickness Gauges and Paint Test Instruments, serving clients across a wide range of industries. They first approached us in 2008, looking to build a stronger online presence and generate results through search marketing.
Since then, DFT has become one of our longest-standing clients, benefitting from ongoing website design, SEO, hosting, and marketing support.

- Lack of reliable hosting, with inconsistent performance.

- Long-term support to keep their digital presence modern and effective.
