Manufacturers

Websites for manufacturers.

Engineers come to your site for spec sheets and CAD files, and buyers come to find a distributor or ask for a quote. We keep the catalog in step with your product data, serve the big downloads from a CDN so the pages stay fast, and send each quote request to the rep who covers the buyer's region.

What we look after

What a manufacturer website has to do.

Keep the catalog current

Product data lives in your ERP, your PIM or a spreadsheet the product team keeps. We set the catalog up to pull from it, so a change there shows on the site without anyone retyping it.

Serve spec sheets and CAD files

Datasheets, manuals and CAD downloads are large. We serve them from a CDN, so a big download never slows the product pages.

Find a distributor

Buyers search by region or ZIP code for the nearest distributor or rep. We keep the finder fed from your list and test it when the list changes.

Route quote requests

A quote request should reach the rep for that region with the part numbers in it. We set up the routing and the mail records so the email arrives.

Post quality documents

Buyers ask for your quality certificates, safety data sheets and declarations of conformity. We keep them in one place and post new ones as your quality team sends them.

Launch at a trade show

New products tend to launch at a trade show. We build the pages on staging and set them to go live the morning of the show.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • Sales sent a customer a link to a spec sheet that was two revisions out of date.
  • The product pages take ages to open because every datasheet preview and photo loads at full size.
  • The distributor finder still lists a rep firm you stopped working with last year.
  • Quote requests go to a general inbox, and nobody is sure who answers them.
A note from Ryan

Spec sheets and the rep list

On a manufacturer's site, I pick a few products and compare the spec sheet on the site with the latest revision engineering has. It's easy for the two to drift apart when files are uploaded by hand. Then I check the distributor finder against the current rep list, because a buyer who reaches a former rep may not try again.

Is the catalog on your website current?

Send us the site and tell us where your product data lives. We'll look at how the catalog is kept up to date and how fast the downloads are, then write back with what we'd change.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Organizations like yours usually go on a Custom SLA, with response times and the terms written into the contract. Smaller sites can still use Managed.

  • Server, PHP and database updates planned and tested by us
  • Backups twice a day verified and kept off-site for 30 days
  • Security and monitoring scanning with a firewall and alerts
  • Same-day replies from the developer who does the work
  • Regular email updates what we did, in plain English

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

If your system can export product data or has an API, yes. We set up an import that runs on a schedule, so the catalog matches what's in the system. If the export needs work on your side, we tell you what format we need. The build is quoted first, at $95 an hour or a fixed price.

Not if they're served from a CDN. The files download from the CDN and the server only builds the pages, so one engineer pulling a large assembly doesn't hold up anyone else.

We can link to one you already use, or build a login area on the site where distributors find manuals, marketing files and the documents you share with them. Ordering and account pricing stay in your ERP or ordering system, and the site links there. A portal built on the site is quoted first.

Yes. A Custom SLA puts response times, uptime commitments and update windows into a written contract, agreed before anything is signed, and names the person you escalate to. A smaller manufacturer with one simple site can start on Managed at $50 a month, which is month to month.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
