Customer drawings are confidential. Can the RFQ form handle that?
Yes. Drawings sent through the form come to your email and are never shown on the site. The page can say plainly how you handle a customer's files, and if you sign NDAs as standard, it can say that too, so a buyer knows before they send anything.
We cannot show most of the parts we make. What goes on the site?
The parts you are allowed to show, sample parts you made in house, and photos of the machines and the shop floor. Where a customer will not allow photos, a capability page listing materials, part sizes and processes does most of the job. A buyer wants to know you can make it.
Most of our work comes from a few long-standing customers. Why does the site matter?
Because accounts move on, and a new buyer checks you before they send a drawing. An engineer looking for a new supplier searches for a process and a material, not your name. If the site shows your machines, materials and how you check parts, you stay in the running when they look.
Can it cover the areas we work in?
Yes. A page for each area you cover, and a page for each industry you supply, written in the terms its engineers use. That is what turns up when a buyer searches for a machining subcontractor and a town, or for a material and a process.
How long does it take?
Seven days from the day you sign off the design. Most of that week is us building. You get the demo link first, then we swap in your own domain.
Do I have to pay before I see it?
No. We build the demo first and send you the link. You see your site live before you pay a penny. If you do not want it, you owe us nothing and the area goes to the next firm.
What happens to my current domain and email?
The domain stays in your name and we point it at the new site. Your email carries on working. If you have no domain we help you buy one, in your name.
