Websites, by sector

A website for your metalworking company that shows what you can make

A buyer or engineer looking for a supplier wants to see quickly what you can make, in which materials and sizes, and how to request a quote. Below you can see how metalworking sites are doing now, what a good site shows and what we make for you.

How websites in metalworking and machine building are doing

These are our own measurements, not estimates. We looked at the homepages of 725 companies in metalworking and machine building.

10%is not made for phones: the visitor sees the desktop page shrunk down
34.6%takes longer than a second before the homepage arrives
58.2%runs on WordPress; those sites arrive after 1.2 seconds, the rest after 0.4
14.4%shows no year after 2023 on the homepage and so looks neglected

Phone view and year: 431 sites, September 2026 (research into construction and engineering websites). Speed and WordPress: 725 sites, October 2026 (research into speed and WordPress). We don't name companies, only totals.

What a metalworking company needs on its site

A buyer compares a handful of companies and spends a minute on each site. They look for your processes, your machines, examples of work and a way to ask their question.

What you can make. Your processes (for example cutting, bending, welding, turning, milling), the materials and the maximum dimensions. Concrete, so a buyer knows whether their job fits.
Your machinery. Which machines you have, in plain language and with photos of your own workshop.
Examples of work. Photos of products or projects you are allowed to show, with a line about what it was.
Certificates. If you work to a standard or have a certificate that clients ask for, add it. Only what is true.
Quote requests and vacancies. A short form for a request, and a separate page for skilled workers who want to work for you.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does a website for a metalworking company cost?

A one-page site costs €249, up to five pages €449 and up to fifteen pages €795 (excl. VAT). Hosting and maintenance then cost €12 to €25 per month. With separate pages for processes, machinery and projects you usually end up with the middle or the largest package.

We already have a site with all our work on it. Will that be lost?

No. For the free preview, which you get within 12 hours, we use the text and photos from your existing site. If you don't like it, you owe us nothing.

Can a customer attach a drawing to their request?

A quote form is included. Sending files through the form is custom work; we look at that per company. An email address for drawings next to the form often works just as well in practice.

We get our work through regular customers. Why a new site then?

Because a new buyer, a job applicant or a bank looks you up first. A site that shows a shrunk desktop page on a phone or loads slowly gives a different impression than your workshop deserves.
