Preparation

Getting your website ready for Modern Day Marine

A simple plan around the dates of Modern Day Marine. Adjust it to your team and your products.

  1. Step 1

    8 weeks before

    Open your website on a phone as a visitor would and note what is slow or unclear. List what you will show at Modern Day Marine in the Defence sector and check that each item has its own page.

  2. Step 2

    4 weeks before

    Describe each offer in plain words: who it is for, what problem it solves and how a visitor gets in touch. Add the languages your visitors read and a QR code that leads to a page made for Modern Day Marine.

  3. Step 3

    Fair week

    Test your contact form and the e-mail it sends on a phone. Capture every contact at the stand with one method and note what each visitor asked for.

  4. Step 4

    2 weeks after

    Reply to every contact from Modern Day Marine within days. Update your pages with the questions you heard most at the stand.

For defence exhibitors

What a defence website should show

Procurement officers and prime-contractor buyers look for clear technical detail, verifiable company credentials and a quick route to a named contact before and after a fair.

Dedicated product pages

Give each product line its own clear page, with a short technical summary and a downloadable datasheet, so procurement officers can check your offer before they reach your stand.

Exact company credentials

Keep company details exact: registered address, export contact, and any certifications or national supplier registrations that government and prime-contractor buyers ask to see.

Fair page with QR code

Make a page for the fair and link it with a QR code at your stand, in the languages of visiting delegations, and test that it loads quickly on a phone.

Prompt visitor follow-up

Scan business cards at the stand and note each visitor's role and interest, then reply within days with the datasheet or export information they asked about.
