Websites for contract manufacturers

We build websites that show buyers with a bill of materials every step you can take on.

What gets in the way of a contract manufacturing quote

A contract manufacturing buyer checks how much of the build you can take on, whether you hold the quality system their industry requires, and whether you can move from a pilot run to production.

  1. 01

    Buyers can’t see how much of the build you can take on

    A buyer looking for a contract manufacturer wants one supplier for as many steps as possible. When the website describes everything in one paragraph, the buyer cannot tell whether you machine, assemble, test, and pack in house, and sends the job to someone who shows it.

    How we fix it. We give each step its own page, from machining and fabrication to assembly, testing, and packaging, with the equipment and capacity behind it, and show how a job moves from one step to the next.

    Your website today

    Machining, assembly, testing, packaging, all in one paragraph on the home page.

    A page for each step

    1. Machining
    2. Assembly
    3. Testing
    4. Packaging

    The buyer sees every step you can run and sends the whole job.

    One job in several steps, as a single paragraph and as a page for each step.

    Buyers look for your quality system by name

    A medical device customer may ask for ISO 13485, an automotive customer for IATF 16949, and a defense customer for ITAR registration, which the State Department requires of any US business that manufactures defense articles. If the website never names them, the buyer cannot tell whether you qualify.

    How we fix it. We name each registration on the quality page and on the industry pages it applies to, with the year you were registered.

    Quote requests arrive without what you need to price the job

    A contract job is priced from the bill of materials, the volume, and the steps involved. An email with a single drawing starts a round of questions, and the buyer waits for a price.

    How we fix it. We build a quote form that asks for the annual volume, the steps you would run, and the quality requirements, and takes the bill of materials and the CAD files, the way an RFQ-first website is built around the request for a quote.

    Email

    “We have a new product to build. Can you quote it?”

    Starts a round of questions before anyone can price it.

    Questions sent at night wait until morning

    A question sent through the website after you close sits in an inbox until someone opens it the next day, while the buyer keeps comparing suppliers.

    How we fix it. Your website comes with an assistant that answers from your own approved pages at any hour and saves every conversation to a lead sheet you keep. An assistant runs on every site we built for Phillips Light Industrial, Mechanical Finishers, and SurfTech.

    The question waits in an inbox until the next morning.

How it startsSend your website address and a few lines about what you do.
  • You get a page for each step you run, from machining to assembly and packaging, your quality systems named, and a page for each industry you build for, written with you and approved by your quality manager.
  • The quote form takes drawings in PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, and the other formats buyers send, and goes straight to your sales team.
  • An AI assistant answers questions from your approved pages at any hour and passes anything else to a person.
  • Every inquiry from the assistant and the forms is logged to an Excel lead sheet that you keep.
  • You own the code, the hosting, and every account, including Google Analytics, Search Console, and your Google Business Profile, in your company’s name, with no monthly fee to us.
  • Each old page that has a new equivalent is redirected to it, so the Google rankings it has earned carry over.

Everything in the build is set out on our manufacturing website design page. After launch, SEO and social media and Google are monthly services, with every price on our pricing page. To reach buyers who have not found you yet, outbound lead generation writes to named engineers and purchasing managers at the companies you want to supply.

The closest project we have built

Phillips Light Industrial is a manufacturing support company in Cleveland, Ohio. Its assembly division sells assembly, packaging, kitting, rework, and secondary operations, so each division has its own site, pages, and quote form under one brand, with document upload on four of the five sites. We built five websites for PLI 18 days after the brief.

In our study of 66 US manufacturer websites, measured in November 2026, five were contract manufacturers. Two of the five had a quote link on the home page, and two named a certification there.

The PLI case study shows the old site, the new one, and the results, and every project is on our work page.

Questions contract manufacturing companies ask us

Can the site show our work without naming customers?
Yes. Contract work is often covered by a confidentiality agreement, so we describe each job by industry, the steps you ran, and the volume, with photos you are cleared to use.
Does one site work for customers in different industries?
Yes. A page for each industry you build for lets a medical buyer and an automotive buyer each find the quality system and the work that apply to them.
How much does a website for a contract manufacturer cost?
$6,000, paid once, for the complete website, including the quote form, the AI assistant, and the Excel lead sheet. You own the code, the hosting, and every account, and every price we charge is on our pricing page.
