Tech & manufacturing

Web design for technology and product manufacturers

You make clever products. Your website needs to explain them in plain English, show them properly and get found by the people searching for exactly what you make.

I've designed and built websites for manufacturers of surge protection, LED lighting and recumbent trikes. Every one had the same challenge: turning technical detail into a website buyers can understand and trust.

The problem

Great products, hard-to-read websites

Manufacturers know their products inside out, which is exactly why their websites often end up written for engineers rather than the people buying.

Pages that read like spec sheets

Specifications matter, but buyers first need to know what a product does for them. I lead with the benefit in plain English and keep the technical detail close by for those who want it.

Products that don't get found

Specialist products have specialist searches. With the right page structure, product names and technical SEO, your website can rank for the exact terms your buyers type in.

Photos that undersell the product

Poor photos make good products look ordinary. As a photographer and filmmaker, I can shoot your products and team so the website shows the quality of what you make.

Oxfordshire's tech and science businesses

Oxfordshire has one of the UK's biggest clusters of science, engineering and technology companies, many of them within a few miles of where I grew up in Abingdon. Lite House, one of my clients, makes its LED lighting just down the road in Kingston Bagpuize.

If your business is based on a science park or business campus, I can meet you in person, see your products up close and photograph them for your website. I also work with manufacturers further afield, from Devon to Cornwall.

Questions

Common questions from product businesses

If your question isn't here, call or email and you'll get a straight answer from me.

Do you only work with large manufacturers?

No. I work with businesses of all sizes, from small workshops making a single product to established manufacturers with large product ranges. What they have in common is a product that needs explaining clearly.

Can you write the product descriptions for us?

Yes. I can write or rewrite your product pages, turning technical detail into plain English that buyers understand, while keeping full specifications available for those who need them.

Can our website include spec sheets, manuals and downloads?

Yes. I can add downloadable data sheets, manuals and brochures, organised by product so customers and dealers can find what they need quickly.

Can you photograph our products?

Yes. I'm a photographer and filmmaker as well as a web designer, so I can shoot your products, workshop and team for the website. Photo shoots start from £299 and video from £499.

Will we be able to update the website ourselves?

Yes. I build on WordPress or Joomla, so you can add products, edit pages and publish news yourself. ICE Trikes now manage their own website in-house.

How much does a website for a manufacturer cost?

Websites start from £900, and growth websites with more pages start from £1,500. Online shops are quoted individually. I'll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you work with manufacturers outside Oxfordshire?

Yes. My manufacturing clients include businesses in Devon and Cornwall as well as Oxfordshire, and most projects run smoothly over phone and video calls.
