Website redesign for precision machining shops.
Precision machining shops compete on tolerance, certification, and material, not on price. Their website's job is to convince an aerospace, medical, or defense buyer that the shop can hold ±0.0002" on Inconel 718, hold AS9100D, and ship on time. Most precision-shop websites instead show stock photos of mills and a generic "high precision" tagline. We rebuild precision shop sites so they read like a capability statement to a vetted buyer.
Why most precision machining shops websites fail
- Tolerance bands not published. Aerospace and medical buyers shortlist on tolerance fit; "tight tolerances" is meaningless.
- Certifications buried. AS9100D, ISO 13485, ITAR registration, Nadcap belong front-and-center.
- Material capability vague. Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, cobalt-chrome, buyers need exact alloys, not "exotic materials."
- Inspection capability not shown. CMM, vision systems, surface profilometer, defense and medical require traceable inspection.
- No FAI / PPAP / first-article support signaled. AS9102 first-article is table stakes for aerospace; most shops don't mention it.
What we build for precision machining shops
- A tolerance + capability matrix, typical and best-case ±, by axis, by material class.
- Certifications strip in the hero: AS9100D / ISO 13485 / ITAR / Nadcap with cert numbers and expiry visible.
- Material capability page listing every alloy + plastic + composite, with typical applications and notes on hard-to-machine materials.
- Inspection equipment list: CMM make/model, vision systems, profilometers, surface-finish gauges.
- A "Quality systems" page covering FAI / PPAP / AS9102 / SPC support.
- Service + FAQPage + Organization JSON-LD so AI engines route aerospace and medical buyer queries to your shop.
precision machining shops we build for
- Aerospace precision (AS9100D, ITAR, complex 5-axis on Inconel/Ti)
- Medical device precision (ISO 13485, FDA-registered, surgical instruments + implants)
- Defense precision (ITAR, sensitive contracts, often classified work)
- Semiconductor + photonics precision (sub-micron tolerance, ultra-clean handling)
FAQs
My shop is AS9100D certified, should that be on the home page?
In the hero. AS9100D is the single biggest filter aerospace buyers apply when shortlisting precision shops; if a buyer can't see it in the first 200 pixels, they assume you don't have it. Same for ITAR registration and Nadcap. These belong in the header, not the footer.
How specific should I be about tolerances?
Very specific. "±0.0005" routinely on aluminum, ±0.0002" on hardened steel with grind, ±0.0001" lapped surfaces" beats "high precision" by an order of magnitude. AI engines and buyer engineers both reward specificity.
Will a website redesign help me win aerospace work?
Indirectly, yes. Aerospace primes shortlist 3–10 shops per RFQ; the website is one of three vetting steps (the others are referrals and supplier audits). A good site makes the shortlist and a bad site doesn't. Once you're shortlisted, the audit and the relationship win the work.
