Websites for machine shops and CNC job shops

Machine shop websites that win the RFQ.

Buyers and engineers check out your shop before they send a drawing. We build machine shop websites that show your processes, equipment and certifications, and make it easy to request a quote.

The people checking you out know exactly what they need.

A buyer with a part to source. An engineer with a tolerance to hold. A prime contractor that needs a certified supplier. They aren't browsing. They're checking whether you can make the part, to spec and on time, and whether you're set up to work with them.

Most machine shop websites answer with a photo of a CNC machine and the word "precision." The shops that win the RFQ answer the questions, so whoever checks you out, whether they found you on Google or got your name from a rep, gets what they came for.

What a machine shop website needs.

Eight things, in roughly the order buyers look for them.

  1. Your processes, named plainly

    CNC milling (3-, 4- and 5-axis), turning, Swiss, EDM, grinding, assembly. Use the words buyers search for, and give each major process its own section with the part sizes you handle.

  2. The equipment list

    Make and model, number of axes, travels or maximum part size, and how many of each. Engineers use it to judge fit in seconds. A clean table beats a photo gallery.

  3. Tolerances, materials and part sizes

    The tolerances you hold every day, the materials you run every week (aluminum, stainless, titanium, Inconel, PEEK, Delrin) and your size range. Being honest about your limits keeps bad-fit RFQs out of your inbox.

  4. Certifications, near the top

    ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 13485, ITAR registration and, for defense work, your CMMC status. List what you hold and who certified it. Never show something in progress as if it's done.

  5. Quality, shown instead of claimed

    Your inspection equipment (CMMs, optical comparators, surface testers), what you document (first article inspection, material certs, PPAP for automotive) and how you handle a nonconformance. "Quality is our top priority" tells a buyer nothing.

  6. A quote form that takes drawings

    Part name, quantity, material, needed-by date and a file upload for STEP, IGES, DXF and PDF. Say how fast you'll respond. For ITAR or export-controlled drawings, tell customers how to send them securely instead.

  7. Industries and real parts

    Aerospace, medical, defense, energy, food equipment. Show real parts with the material, tolerance and quantity, with your customer's permission. A part on a granite plate beats any stock photo.

  8. A careers page for machinists

    Good machinists are hard to find. List open roles with pay ranges, shifts and the machines they'll run, and let people apply from a phone.

Kessler Precision is a fictional shop we designed to show these ideas working together. It isn't a client.

  • Certifications in the first screen, where engineers look first
  • The full equipment list, not a vague promise
  • Drawing upload, with a 48-hour quote turnaround promised up front
  • A technical-drawing look instead of stock photos

What we'd fix first on most machine shop sites.

  • A headline that says "precision" and nothing else
  • Capabilities hidden in a PDF brochure
  • An equipment list that's three years out of date
  • A quote form with no way to attach a drawing
  • No phone number in the header
  • Certifications as tiny logos in the footer

Already have a website? We can update it or rebuild it. We'll tell you which makes sense on the first call.

$2,000 flat for design, writing, build and launch. After that, $25 a month covers hosting and changes whenever you need them, and you can cancel anytime. No hourly billing and no long-term contract.

Yes. It's one of the first things engineers and buyers look for, because it tells them in seconds whether you can make their part. Keep it current. An outdated list costs you more trust than no list.

Yes. Your quote form can accept STEP, IGES, DXF and PDF files, and they arrive with the request. ITAR and export-controlled drawings shouldn't go through a standard web form, so the page tells customers how to send those through your secure process.

Put the range you hold every day and what you can hold on specific features or materials. Buyers use it to decide whether to send an RFQ, and honest limits keep bad-fit requests away.

72 hours after a 30-minute kickoff call. We write the site from that call, so you don't have to write anything. You review a private preview before it goes live, and if you need more time, we wait for you.

Reps and referrals get you the introduction. When a buyer wants to check you out before the first call, or a new engineer at an existing customer goes looking for you, the website is what they find. It should back up what your rep says.
