The build
A site written for a technical buyer
Specs, materials, tolerances and capacity laid out in the terms a buyer already searches with — so they can qualify you without an enquiry, and enquire already half-scoped.
Fabricated Metal
Press-brake forming
Forming work turns on tonnage, bed length, the bend radii your tooling can hit and whether you can repeat a fold across a run.
A buyer with a complex multi-bend part wants to know you can form it before they draw it in full, and a deep box or a long panel is a real constraint most fabrication sites never mention. I make your forming envelope legible — press tonnage, bed length, max fold, tooling — so a buyer can scope a bend without a phone call, and a tricky part comes in as an RFQ. That’s the difference between quoting the job and losing it to a shop that answered the spec faster.
What I'd build you
A site that gets found, believed and quoted.
Found
Ranked for what you actually make
A page per process, material and sector instead of one “Services” page — every one its own door into the site, matched to how buyers search rather than how the business is organised.
Asked for
Named in the answer, not the results
Buyers ask an assistant before they ask a supplier, and it quotes whoever actually answered. Question-led content and structured data put your words in that answer.
Measured, not claimed
2.9s.
Time to main content on a phone, against 6.9s for the median of 5 comparable firms.
Reported
Numbers you can put in front of the MD
Speed, search visibility and enquiry volume measured on a regular cycle and reported back — so the site is answerable for something rather than just existing.
What I build for press-brake forming
-
A forming-capability page stating press tonnage, bed length, max fold and tooling range
-
Material-and-radius content so buyers know which bends and thicknesses you hold
-
A drawing/RFQ flow tuned for multi-bend and complex-geometry feasibility checks
-
Repeatability and batch-forming content that positions you for production runs
Frequently asked questions.
What manufacturers ask before they hire me. If yours is not here, ask it — the answer is usually short.
How do we convey forming capacity credibly?
Structured specs — press tonnage, bed length, max fold, tooling — presented so a buyer and an AI assistant can confirm you can form the part before enquiring.
Can prospects check if you can form their part?
A drawing/RFQ flow captures the part, material and quantity, so you can confirm feasibility fast instead of trading emails.
Our value is forming complex, multi-bend parts — how do we show that?
I build content and examples around complex geometry and tight radii, so the buyer with a hard part recognises you can do it rather than defaulting to the nearest shop.
How do we handle bend radii and material limits so buyers don’t enquire on the impossible?
Capability content states the radii and thicknesses you form, which qualifies buyers up front and saves you quoting jobs your tooling can’t hit.
Can we attract repeat batch forming, not just one-offs?
I position repeatability and batch capability distinctly, so a buyer sourcing scheduled production runs sees you’re set up for it.
A lot of our forming pairs with our cutting — how do we sell the combined job?
I build content that links cut and fold as one in-house journey, which wins the buyer who’d rather one supplier owned the flat-to-formed part.
