    What a manufacturing website has to prove

    A sourcing engineer landing on your site wants three things in under a minute: what you make, what you are certified to do, and how to send a drawing. Sites in this sector usually fail on all three. Capabilities are vague, certificates are hidden in a PDF with no text, and the RFQ form is a generic contact form that cannot take a STEP file. Many are also built on outdated themes that load slowly and break on the tablets buyers use on the floor. The site has to convert RFQ submissions and supplier qualification requests while holding up to procurement scrutiny.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    What a website for aerospace and defense manufacturers has to do

    • Detailed capability pagesEach process, material and tolerance range needs its own page with equipment lists, part size envelopes and industries served so buyers can match you to a job.
    • Visible certification proofAS9100, NADCAP, ITAR, ISO and CMMC status belongs in page text with expiration dates and scope, backed by downloadable certificates.
    • RFQ forms that accept drawingsBuyers need to upload STEP, DXF and PDF files, state quantities and lead times, and get a confirmation that the request landed with the right estimator.
    • Secure and fast on any deviceProcurement teams open supplier sites on locked-down networks and floor tablets, so the site has to load quickly and pass basic security checks.

    Built on the Right Platform

    WordPress fits most aerospace and defense manufacturers because capability and certification pages are content-heavy and need to be updated by your quality team without a developer. Custom stacks make sense when you need a supplier portal or ERP integration for quoting.

    Website Questions From Aerospace and Defense Manufacturers

    Website development is quoted per project based on the number of capability pages, RFQ workflow complexity and integrations. A typical aerospace and defense manufacturing site takes eight to fourteen weeks from kickoff to launch, with certification and capability content review being the longest step.

    Not if it is handled correctly. We map every existing URL to its new home with redirects, preserve the pages that already rank, and rebuild capability content to be stronger than before. Search Console is monitored through the launch window so any drop is caught within days.

    Yes. We build RFQ submissions to push into systems like JobBOSS, Epicor, ProShop or a CRM through their APIs or email parsing, so estimators work from one queue instead of an inbox. File uploads are stored securely and can be routed by process or part type.

    You own the site, the domain, the content and every account. We set up hosting in your name on a provider that meets your security requirements and hand over full admin access at launch. If you have an internal IT policy for hosting, we work within it.

    Launch gives you a clean foundation, but capability and certification rankings need ongoing content, links and AI citation work to hold and grow. Most manufacturers move into a combined SEO and GEO plan after launch so new processes, certifications and industries get pages as the business changes.
