Equipment and capacity page
Every machine with make, travels, axes, and spindle details, plus the largest part size you can hold.
The Problem
Engineers Can't Tell What Your Machines Can Make
It costs you twice: good-fit jobs go to the shop whose site shows its machines, and your estimator spends mornings on requests you can't run.
01 · Capability
Engineers can't tell what sizes and materials you machine.
An equipment page lists every machine with travels, axes, and materials.
02 · Proof
Stock photos of lathes don't show your actual work.
A part gallery shows finished parts from your floor, sorted by process.
03 · Drawings
The contact form refuses STEP and DXF files.
A new quote form accepts CAD and PDF drawings and alerts your estimator.
04 · Fit
Your estimator loses mornings to parts you can't run.
Clear limits on size, material, and volume filter out poor-fit requests.
An engineer needs a batch of aluminum housings with a tight bore tolerance by the end of the month. They search for a CNC shop and land on your site. The home page shows a logo, a stock photo of a lathe, and the word precision in every heading. There's no machine list, no materials, no part photos, and the contact form won't accept a STEP file. So they email the shop whose site shows a 5-axis mill and finished parts. Meanwhile your estimator spends the morning on requests for parts you can't run.
We start with what an engineer checks first: your machines, travels, materials, and tolerances, in your own numbers. Each process gets a page with photos of real parts from your floor. The quote form takes STEP, IGES, DXF, and PDF files, asks for quantity, material, and due date, and alerts your estimator in Slack or email. Good-fit requests arrive with drawings attached, not as a vague voicemail.
Machine list with work envelopes
Each mill, lathe, and EDM listed with travels, axes, and the materials it cuts.
Part photos by process
Finished parts grouped by milling, turning, and EDM, so engineers see work like theirs.
Drawings attached to every RFQ
STEP, IGES, DXF, and PDF uploads with quantity, material, and due date fields.
Our Job Shop Web Design Process
From Shop Floor Photos to Live Quote Requests in Five Clear Steps
You approve the capability list, the page designs, and a test RFQ with a real drawing before anything goes live.
We go through your machines, materials, typical part sizes, and the work you want more of. You send your equipment list and a few recent photos of finished work if you have them. You leave with a sitemap, a scope, and a fixed price.
What's Included
What You Get With Website Design Services for Machine Shops
Capability pages engineers trust, proof from your own floor, and an RFQ path that keeps drawings attached from upload to quote.

DeveloperLook vs DIY Builder vs Marketing Agency
A DIY builder suits a shop that only needs an address online. A marketing agency suits shops that want ads run every month. Here is where each fits a shop that wins on capability.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | DIY builder | Marketing agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capability pages | Machines, travels, materials, tolerances | You write them yourself | Often generic manufacturing copy |
| CAD file uploads | STEP, IGES, DXF, PDF accepted | Image uploads, usually | Depends on the platform |
| Part photos | Gallery by process and material | Stock photo templates | Usually included |
| RFQ alerts | Estimator alerted by Slack or email | Email notification | Routed into their CRM |
| Setup cost | From $950, fixed price | Lowest, a monthly plan | Higher, often with a retainer |
| Speed to launch | 3 to 10 weeks by scope | Fastest for a basic site | Slower, more stakeholders |
| Paid ads | Search setup, no ad management | Not offered | Managed monthly |
| Site ownership | You own site and accounts | Tied to the builder | Depends on the agency |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have designed and built websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Shop Owners Trust Us With Their Websites
How we work when your website has to speak machinist, show real parts, and get drawings to the estimator intact.
Tolerances you sign off on
Every tolerance, size limit, and material we publish comes from your team and gets your approval. Engineers quote from those numbers, so they must match what your floor holds.
Real parts over stock photos
We'd rather show 10 real parts shot on a phone than a polished stock lathe. Engineers spot stock images fast, and real work earns trust before the first call.
Drawings that reach the estimator
RFQ files land where your estimator works: a shared inbox, Google Drive, or a Slack channel. We send test files at launch to prove it works.
Plain answers about fit
If your work comes from repeat customers and referrals, a big site may not pay back. We'll say so and suggest a smaller build instead.
One price before work starts
You get a single price for the agreed scope, with pages and features spelled out. Anything new gets priced and approved before we touch it.
Your site, your accounts
Domain, hosting, Google Business Profile, and analytics stay in your name. If we part ways, you keep all of it.

Good fit
CNC job shops chasing better RFQs
You get quote requests for parts you can't make and miss the ones you can, because your site doesn't say what your machines handle.
Shops adding 5-axis or EDM
You just bought a 5-axis machine or a wire EDM and need pages that tell engineers about the new capability.
Prototype and short-run shops
Your buyers are engineers who need 1 to 50 parts fast, and they judge you by the finished work and lead times on your site.
Shop owners replacing a dated site
Your current site was built years ago by a nephew or a template, and you want one that shows today's machines and takes drawings.
Agencies with a machining client
You're building a site for a precision machining client and need a partner who knows RFQ forms, CAD uploads, and capability pages.
Not a fit
Budget under $950
Your budget is under $950 and you only need your address and phone online. A free Google Business Profile will bring calls until you're ready.
You sell a product line
You manufacture your own products with datasheets and part numbers. Our Manufacturing Website Design page covers catalogs and spec downloads.
You want automatic quoting
You want buyers to upload a model and see a price on the spot. That's quoting software, so start with our Quote Calculator Development page.
You resell tooling
You distribute cutting tools or industrial parts from other brands. Our Distributor Website Design page is built for line cards and branches.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Shop websites at DeveloperLook start at $950 for a starter site of up to 6 pages. That covers an equipment list and a quote form that takes CAD files. Process pages and a part gallery of up to 60 photos move you to $2,300. Multi-process shops with up to 30 pages, a careers page, and large-file uploads start at $4,600.
Most CNC shop sites launch in 3 to 10 weeks. A starter site takes 3 to 4 weeks. A multi-process build with galleries and industry pages takes 6 to 10, mostly because photos and capability numbers need your team's review. Shops that send an equipment spreadsheet and photos in week one finish fastest.
Give each process, material, and industry its own page, then help Google connect your shop to your town. Engineers search phrases like 5-axis machining or titanium turning plus a location. We write those pages and link your Google Business Profile. Then we show you how to add new work as jobs ship and ask repeat customers for reviews.
They show capability before anything else: an equipment list with travels, materials, tolerances, and real part photos. They make the RFQ easy, with CAD uploads and a short form. They also say what the shop won't take on, such as very large parts or one-off prototypes, which saves the engineer and your estimator time.
They should list each machine with its make, axes, travels, and spindle details, grouped by process. Engineers use that list to decide whether a part fits before they send a drawing. Add inspection equipment, such as a CMM, plus secondary operations you handle through partners, like anodizing or heat treating, so buyers see the full route.
Yes. The RFQ form accepts STEP, IGES, DXF, and PDF files, and larger CAD packages can go straight to a Google Drive folder you control. Each request arrives with quantity, material, finish, and due date filled in. We test uploads from a phone and a laptop before launch, since engineers send files from both.
Yes, as long as each tolerance comes with context. A general tolerance plus your tightest holds on specific processes helps engineers judge fit. We publish only the numbers your quality lead approves. Where a tolerance depends on material or part size, we add a note, so nobody quotes from a figure your floor can't repeat.
You show only the certifications your shop actually holds, with the certificate number, scope, and registrar. We build a quality page that links to your current certificate PDF and notes its expiry date, so your team updates it after each recertification. We don't add badges or claims for standards your shop hasn't earned.
Pick one who asks for your equipment list and photos before quoting, because that content is the site. Ask to see a quote form that accepts CAD files, and confirm you'll own the domain and hosting. If a free Google Business Profile already brings in enough local work, we'll tell you before we quote.
We fix issues and help with changes for 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on your plan. Most shops use that time to add new parts to the gallery and adjust form fields after the first real requests arrive. After support ends, your team can edit pages in WordPress or Webflow, or book hours when needed.
