For fabricators, machine shops and engineering firms
I build a site that fits a phone, a page for each thing you make, and a quote request that arrives with the drawing, material and quantity. Then I make the work after the enquiry lighter. Price agreed before I start, and you pay for the first job only once it is live and you are happy.
Where the enquiry goes
The buyer is standing in a plant or sitting in a car park. They pinch, scroll sideways, give up and call the next name on the list.
One page that says "quality engineering since 1987" does not match a search for "laser cutting 12 mm stainless" or "CNC turning in Gujarat".
"Please send quote." No drawing, no material, no quantity. You spend a day asking questions that a form could have asked.
First: get found, get the enquiry
Fast on a mobile connection, readable without zooming, with a call button and a WhatsApp button that actually reach you.
Laser cutting, welding, CNC turning, powder coating, whatever you actually do. Machines, materials, sizes and tolerances, written plainly, so a search for the exact job can land on the exact page.
A job you finished, what the customer needed, what you made, in your own photographs. Buyers want to see that you have done this before.
The form asks for the drawing, material, quantity, finish and delivery date. You open the mail and can price it.
Drawing attached. Ready to price.
Then: lighter work after the enquiry
Optional, and added only after the website is live. You can stop at the website.
Buyers ask the same things again and again: what grades, what thickness, what finish. An assistant trained only on your datasheets and capability notes answers them, and says so when it does not know.
The enquiry comes in, a draft reply comes up with the numbers from your own rates. You read it, change it and send it. Nothing goes out without you.
A short summary of each enquiry on top, and a reminder when a quote has gone unanswered for a week, so the follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.
Enquiries can land in your quoting tool, ERP, CRM, accounts package or, if that is all you have, a spreadsheet. I work with what is there, I do not ask you to switch.
What it costs, and on what terms
Website for an engineering firm
from $1,200
fixed quote, 1 to 3 weeks
The exact figure depends on how many capability and project pages you need. I send it in writing, you agree it, and only then do I start. If the job turns out harder than I judged, that is mine to absorb.
Free first look at your website, in writing, within 48 hours. No call, no invoice.
Who I am, and what I have not done yet
Business software for stock and process work, delivered in phases, with an annual maintenance contract approved afterwards. The closest thing I have to ERP-shaped work.
Scheduling, parts inventory, invoicing and reporting for a field-service operator. Same client, same platform, since 2022.
Invoice Sail and Bill Dost, both built as full products: GST tax lines, payments against invoices, outstanding balances.
A clinic website moved from WordPress to a static site in August 2026, with before and after speed reports.
I have not yet built a website for a fabrication or engineering firm.
I have built and kept running the kind of software those firms use behind the scenes, since 2016. That is the reason the first job is paid only once it is live and you are happy: you carry no risk on me. One client of mine, AumISPL, has been with me since 2018.
Look at what is running
One small ask
I look at it on a phone, the way your buyer does, and write back what I would change and roughly what it would cost. You get it within 48 hours, from me and not from a sequence.
Rather have a marketplace between us? Hire me through Upwork and the money sits in escrow until you release it.
