Manufacturing and Engineering
Wherever a business sits in the supply chain – whether they’re building relationships with business clients or commercial customers – there are some common challenges, needs, and demands facing organisations in the Manufacturing and Engineering sectors.
Displaying expertise and technical excellence, showcasing products and processes, and identifying the most effective ways to generate leads or online sales are all essential.



Digital needs in manufacturing and engineering
A website visitor should have a similar experience to sitting down with a member of a sales team – they should come away informed and ready to place that order. Ecommerce sites that sell directly have many unique features, but they’ll still need to provide the same user experience in many other respects, including:
Universal site requirements
- Technical specification sand PDF downloads
- Photography and video
- FAQs, case studies and advice content
- Targeted Google and social media ads
- Blog articles
Unique considerations for direct sales
- Online quoting tools and contact forms
- Digital shopfront
- Payment processing
- Customer reviews
- Google shopping
Our work in the manufacturing and engineering sectors
We’ve done a lot of work for clients in the manufacturing and engineering sectors over the years, both in web design and digital marketing.
Mansfield Pollard
We provided this Bradford-based manufacturing business with a new website that featured an engaging design and user journey and delivered an increase in users of 192% in the first three months after launch.

NGF Industrial Doors
NGF’s website had features they never used anymore, and lacked some things they sorely needed. Business was very good but lead generation through the site was limited.
We delivered a minimalist design for this Castleford-based engineering firm, focused on bespoke photography of the team and their work, more in-depth technical product specifications, case studies, and a blog answering common client questions.

Kilner & Hutchinson
Based in our hometown of Huddersfield, Kilner & Hutchinson is the UK's leading cast-iron foundry that has been doing amazing work for the last 40 years. We set them up with a modern, futureproof WordPress site and a full rebrand to bring them up to date.

Arville
As one of the world’s leading technical textiles manufacturers, Arville are always looking to grow their business. They came to us for support with improving their market position and building brand awareness online.
We delivered a full marketing strategy, covering paid advertising, technical SEO, social media management and email newsletters, that has seen huge increases in search visibility (327%) and website traffic (101%).

Widdops
As an industrial brush manufacturer largely dealing in the B2B space, Widdops didn’t want to sell directly online. Instead, they needed a site that would work harder as a lead generation tool.
We developed a site with a carefully planned user journey, giving visitors the option to learn more about Widdops’ solutions from either a technical standpoint, or by working backwards from their end application. Supported by copywriting, product photography, sales brochure downloads and targeted paid advertising, the new site has helped Widdops boost sales.

Canal Engineering
As part of the extensive John Lord Group of companies, Canal Engineering also has five sub divisions itself. Each needed to stand alone online, while also being recognisable as part of the whole.
We delivered a central hub website for the main brand that introduced users to the five sub divisions. Each of the five websites follows a similar template for consistency, and all five can be updated from one central admin area behind the scenes.

Chem Resist
We built a brand new WordPress website for chemical storage manufacturer Chem Resist and continue to manage their digital marketing – paid ads, campaigns, and social media.
