Website redesign for custom fabrication shops.

Custom fabrication shops live on referrals and Instagram, and most of them have a website that does neither buyer flow any favors. Architectural buyers, retail clients, and industrial customers all visit the same site looking for completely different things. The fix is segmentation and portfolio depth. We rebuild custom fab sites so each buyer reaches the work that matches them.

Why most custom fabrication shops websites fail

B2B + B2C work mixed without clear paths. A homeowner shopping for a custom railing shouldn't land on the industrial-equipment skid page.
Portfolio is thin. Custom fab is portfolio-driven; most sites show 4–8 photos when they should show 40+.
No price signal at all. Buyers want a starting price range to qualify themselves; complete silence on price loses budget-aware buyers.
No design-collaboration story. Custom fab usually involves design iteration; most sites don't explain how the process works.
Lead times not published. Custom fab takes 4–16 weeks; buyers need to know if you can hit their deadline.

What we build for custom fabrication shops

A segmented home page: Architectural, Retail/Hospitality, Industrial, each with its own landing page tuned to that buyer.
A portfolio of 30+ projects with photo, materials, process, sector, and short story per entry.
A "How we work" page covering the design + fab + install steps, with typical timelines.
Starting-price ranges by product class so buyers self-qualify before contacting.
A "Past clients" page with named industries served (without breaching NDAs).
Service + FAQPage + LocalBusiness JSON-LD so each buyer's query routes to the right vertical page.

FAQs

I serve homeowners AND commercial clients. How do I show both?

Two segmented landing pages, one for residential / homeowner, one for commercial / B2B. Same brand, different vocabularies, different example portfolios, different price signals. Both link from the home page; buyers self-route. Mixing them on one page costs you both audiences.

Should I publish prices?

Starting ranges, yes. A custom railing might "start at $2,500"; a custom dining table might "start at $4,000." Specific quotes still happen after the design conversation, but the starting range qualifies the buyer's budget before either of you wastes time.

How important is the portfolio for a custom fab shop?

It's the entire site. Buyers in custom fab don't buy from spec sheets, they buy from "I want something like that one." The more relevant portfolio entries you show (with proper segmentation), the more buyers you convert. 30 photos beats 5 photos almost every time.
