WSD Resource : Manufacturing Website Design : Industrial Graphic Design

There are many considerations in the planning and development of a new website. Internal resources, copy editing, site navigation and graphic design to mention a few.

We have provided an overview for many of the ‘action items’ that should be included in your project check list. We will also be working in tandem with you on many of these development concerns as well.

Our manufacturing and industrial marketplace designs cover a broad audience. These websites provide information to the end user regarding a company’s leadership, products, processes, facilities and support.

Site content and functionality should include:

Support Team
Sales & Marketing
News / Events
Product Data Sheets
Facilities Tour

Product Video
Management Team
Testimonials
Quote Form
Clients Served

Design Examples:

Does your current website represent your Company? Today, tradeshows, cold-calls and industry publication advertisement just does not deliver the return on time and investment these efforts once did.

Over 88% of all businesses search online for products, services and vendors before selecting the 2 or 3 companies they want quotes from. Much of their decision in contacting you ahead of your competition will be based on the presentation of your website and your online visibility, or keyword ranking.

Here are some guidelines to help you select a template that represents 80%-90% of the ‘look and feel’ you prefer, which we call the 'core' template, from www.templatemonster.com/website-templates.php.

We have hundreds of designs to review so to narrow your selections be sure to use the different search options available, including the category lists.

The screenshots below show how the templates can be changed to the style and presentation you want to carry your ‘brand’. This slide above shows the basic template selected by one of our clients. They liked the template but wanted to add some attributes from another template and a competitors website.

This second slide provides an example of the type of changes we routinely make to a selected template, images, navigation buttons, copy placement, even the background color of the design.

Obviously, we will be blending in your images and content, logo, etc., creating a complete proprietary look and feel for your online presence. If you need additional images, you can select them from www.istock.com or www.stockxpert.com. There is no cost to you for up to 20 images.

Once the design has been approved, we move the project to our HTML programming team to begin coding the site. During this process, we provide a link to our development servers so you can view the progress and your team can comment.
