CNC machining companies · Website
Show your machines, tolerances and materials before the buyer asks.
Website development for a CNC machining company means a site organised by capability, material and industry served. It needs an easy way to send a drawing for a quote, since that is exactly what a buyer needs before they call. GullySales builds and maintains this rather than leaving it as a one-time project.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What website means
A website is the page a customer lands on after searching, clicking an advert or scanning a code, and it decides whether they call or leave. GullySales builds and maintains sites that load quickly, explain the offer plainly and make the enquiry form or phone number easy to find.

For CNC machining companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Capability pages need real numbers, not vague claims”
A page stating actual tolerance ranges, machine sizes and materials handled converts far better than one describing the shop as high quality and reliable.
“A quote request form should accept a drawing upload”
A contact form asking only for a message forces the buyer to a separate email, adding friction that a direct file upload removes.
“Certifications and past work need their own visible section”
A buyer checking legitimacy looks for quality certifications and examples of completed components before trusting the shop with a drawing.
What we do
What we deliver for CNC machining companies.
The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.
Pages organised by capability, material and industry
The site organised by capability, material and the industry a buyer works in, instead of one flat services list.
Result: A buyer finds their exact need in a couple of clicks.
Quote request form that accepts a drawing upload
A form that lets a buyer attach a drawing directly when requesting a quote, instead of being redirected to email it separately.
Result: A buyer ready to send a drawing can do it immediately.
Certifications and past work in their own section
A visible section listing quality certifications and examples of completed components, for a buyer checking legitimacy before sending a drawing.
Result: A buyer's first legitimacy check is answered on the site itself.
Capability pages stating real numbers, not adjectives
Pages stating actual tolerance ranges, machine sizes and materials handled, replacing descriptions like high quality and reliable.
Result: A buyer evaluates the shop on facts instead of a slogan.
Website maintained as new machinery arrives
A standing arrangement to update capability pages whenever a machine, certification or material capability changes, not a one-time build.
Result: The site never shows an out-of-date picture of the plant.
How the result is measured
- Page load time
- Bounce rate
- Enquiries from the website
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What the page must show
What a CNC machining shop's website must show before an engineer sends a drawing.
- The machine list, with make, axes and bed size
- List each machine with its make, number of axes and the largest part it takes. An engineer checks whether the part fits your machine before anything else.
- Materials and finishing you handle
- Name the materials, such as aluminium, SS 304 and 316, brass, EN8 or titanium, and the finishing you do in-house or through partners, such as anodising or heat treatment.
- The tolerance you hold routinely
- State the tolerance and surface finish you can hold on a regular run, not the best once achieved. A buyer who finds the figure honest sends a harder drawing.
- Inspection equipment and the reports you issue
- Name the CMM, height gauges and other equipment, and the reports you give: first article inspection, material test certificate and dimensional report. Auto and medical buyers ask for these early.
- File types and confidentiality
- Say which files you accept, such as STEP, DXF or PDF drawings, and offer an NDA before the buyer uploads. A drawing is the buyer's property, so say how you handle it.
- Parts made, with material, quantity and industry
- Show photographs of finished components with the part name, material, batch quantity and the industry served. Do not show a customer's part or logo without their permission.
Who it is for
This is written for these CNC machining companies.
- Job shops doing contract machining
- Precision component manufacturers
- Auto ancillary machining suppliers
- Aerospace and defence component machinists
- Machine shops serving medical device makers
- Prototype and low-volume machining shops
- Sheet metal and fabrication shops with CNC capability
- Export-focused precision machining units
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You have not decided which machines, materials and tolerances you will state in public, so the capability pages would be empty
- Your quote requests arrive by phone only and no one will read a drawing upload, so a form would collect files nobody opens
Before you decide
Agree the work. Know how to judge it.
Website development for CNC machining companies: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.
Bring the right evidence
List the pages that support a buying decision and the actions visitors must complete. Keep examples of failed forms, unclear product information, and questions your team answers repeatedly.
Make the scope clear
Agree the page list, content ownership, integrations, and who controls the domain and hosting. Include redirects and existing search traffic in a redesign brief, before changing addresses.
Check the work in use
Complete a real enquiry journey on a phone and a laptop. Check that the confirmation appears, the enquiry reaches the right person, and tracking records the action once.
Know when to change course
If visitors can enquire but the team does not follow up, start with the sales handover. A larger website will not resolve that delay.
These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.
Before we start
What to have ready before the work starts.
The records, access and decisions this work needs from CNC machining companies. Anything missing is noted in the written scope, with who will supply it.
- The machine list with axes and work envelopes
- Capability pages rest on it. A typed sheet is enough. Without it, the pages state only processes. The sheet should also give the work envelope for the largest machine, since buyers check size before anything else.
- Scanned certificates with scope lines
- Badges must match the papers. Scans are enough. Any lapsed certificate is left off. The quality head should say which certificates are renewed and which are in audit.
- Three part descriptions cleared for publication
- Proof needs examples. Each needs the customer's consent. Without them, the past-work section is a plain statement of the kinds of work done. The consent can be a signed line or an email from the buyer.
- Domain and hosting logins
- We need to move the site safely. A registrar login is enough. If a vendor holds them, we need their help. The renewal dates for the domain should be written down too.
- A person to answer the form's enquiries
- The form is useless if nobody reads it. The estimator should be named. Without a name, enquiries pile up. A substitute is also needed for days when the estimator is at a customer visit.
How it works
How the website work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Read the machine list and the last ten RFQs
We begin with the machine list, the capability sheet and ten recent RFQs, to learn what buyers ask and what the shop can answer. The estimator helps. What exists afterwards is a list of facts the website must carry, set against the questions buyers raise. We note the questions in those RFQs that the current site cannot answer, because each one becomes a heading on a capability page.
- 2
Sketch pages by capability, material and industry
Rather than one services page, we sketch separate pages for each process, each material and each industry served, such as auto or medical. You choose the order. The sitemap is approved by the owner before any design. Each page is given a single question it must answer, so that the sitemap does not grow into a list of every machine in the plant.
- 3
Gather certificates and past work for their own section
Buyers look for proof, so we collect the certificates and a few part descriptions, with consent, and give them a clear section. The quality head checks scope lines. Certificates that have lapsed stay off the site. Where a customer has agreed to be named, its permission is kept on file beside the page that uses it.
- 4
Write capability pages with real numbers
Each capability page states the work envelope, tolerance and material limits from the inspection records. The production head signs off. Adjectives are replaced with figures the shop can defend. Where a figure rests on one trial run, we say so on the page and wait for the production head to confirm it.
- 5
Build the quote form that takes a drawing
The form accepts the drawing file, material, quantity and delivery place, and sends them to the estimator and the register. You decide who is notified. We test with a sample drawing on a phone and a desktop. The estimator is named as the person who opens each enquiry, and a confirmation message tells the buyer how the drawing will be handled.
- 6
Launch and read RFQs against the start
After launch we check forms, redirects and file uploads, then compare RFQs received and the pages they entered with the count taken before the rebuild. The sales head tells us which were real. We report the change and promise no volume. Old addresses from the previous site are redirected, so a bookmarked link from a buyer does not end in an error page.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
