A machine shop’s website is priced by how much a buyer needs to qualify you in a single visit, because they are comparing several shops against a drawing. A shop with a short equipment list is a compact build, while one with multiple processes, industries and quality documentation needs more content. The site should make a request for quote simple to send.
The price at a glance
Most machine shops fit Business Plus: $989 one-time for up to 20 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical machine shop site covers Home with an RFQ button, Capabilities, Industries, Quality, Gallery and RFQ form.
What changes the price for a machine shop
- ✓Capabilities and equipment listing — Machine types, work envelopes and materials need a clear, structured presentation so a buyer can scan and match their part
- ✓Industries served — Aerospace, medical, energy or general industrial each have different expectations, and each described with care adds a page or section
- ✓Quality documentation — Showing the inspection equipment and any credentials you hold requires accurate wording and a layout that supports what you actually have
- ✓RFQ form and file handling — A form that accepts part details and links to drawings is more involved than a contact form and needs careful setup
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A shop with a defined set of machines can use a home page with an RFQ button, a capabilities page, a short industries page and an RFQ form. List what you run and the materials you cut. Keep claims to what you can document.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓File transfer tool — Large CAD and drawing files are best handled by a secure transfer service that has its own plan
- ✓Part photography — Photos of finished parts and shop floor are worth arranging separately
- ✓Quoting software — If you use an ERP or quoting system, it is outside the site and its cost is its own
- ✓Domain and email — A domain and business email are yearly costs outside the build
When it makes sense to step up
Step up when you want separate pages for each process, case studies of parts, a quality section with downloadable documents, multiple facilities, or a careers page. A larger industry mix with distinct audiences also calls for the bigger scope.
