What a metalworking website should show
Engineers and purchasers look for clear part families, alloys, tolerances and quality certificates they can check and download quickly, both before a fair and when they follow up afterwards.
Part family pages
Give each casting or machined part family its own page with alloys, tolerances and batch sizes, so engineers can judge fit before they walk up to your stand.
Findable certificates
Check that certificates such as ISO 9001 and material test reports are easy to find and download, because purchasers often ask for them first.
Phone-Ready downloads
Test your site on a phone over a weak hall connection, and keep drawings and datasheets as light PDFs that open quickly at the stand.
Tailored Follow-Up
Scan every business card at the stand, note the part or process each buyer asked about, and send a tailored reply with a quote request link within days.
