Derby builds Britain's trains and jet engines — and the supply chain around them competes on credibility. Web development Derby means engineering B2B websites that survive buyer scrutiny, tender-support content, and portals for complex operations.
Derby's buyers are engineers — they evaluate suppliers the way they evaluate components: against spec, with evidence, no patience for marketing gloss. A supplier website in this economy either demonstrates capability rigorously or it disqualifies you. There is no middle ground.
Engineering B2B sites are built on proof: accreditations (RISQS, ISO, industry-specific), facility and process imagery that's real, case studies with quantified outcomes, team credentials. Every claim substantiated, every capability evidenced. This is anti-marketing as a discipline — and it wins tenders.
Tender and framework support is the hidden value: pre-qualification content ready, capability statements structured, evidence organised. When the ITT lands, the website has already done half the credibility work — buyers arrive pre-sold on your competence.
Derby doesn't do hype — a city that builds rolling stock can smell vapourware at fifty paces. Our process is correspondingly plain: requirements, evidence, build, measure. If a page can't justify its existence in the buyer journey, it doesn't get built.
Discovery is forensic: your accreditations, your differentiators, your buyer journey, your competitors' sites (we'll show you where they're weak). Information architecture follows the buyer's evaluation process — because that's what the site is for.
Content is the hard part in engineering, and we do it properly: interviewed, written, technically reviewed by your team. No lorem ipsum, no generic copy. The words on a Derby engineering site have to survive expert reading — we make sure they do.
We build on proven open-source foundations — WordPress for content-led sites, Shopify or WooCommerce for commerce, custom stacks where the brief demands it. No lock-in, no mysteries: you own the code, the content and the data.
Derby indicative ranges — labelled, not quoted:
Long-cycle B2B needs patient measurement — we set the success metrics at kickoff and review at 6 and 12 months.
Straight answers to what Derby teams ask us most.
By interviewing your engineers and writing it up properly — then having your technical team review every word. We don't fake expertise; we extract and structure yours. The result reads like it was written by someone who understands the work, because it was.
The ones your buyers check: RISQS for rail, ISO 9001/14001/45001, industry-specific approvals. Displayed properly with certificate downloads — buyers in this sector verify, so we make verification easy.
Directly: capability content structured for reuse in bids, case-study library with quantified outcomes, evidence organised for pre-qualification. Many clients find the website project pays for itself in bid-writing time saved.
Yes — technical translation managed properly, not machine-translated. Engineering export needs precision in every language; we work with specialist technical translators.
Typically 10–16 weeks: the content and evidence-gathering is the long pole, not the code. Rushed engineering sites look rushed to engineering buyers — we don't rush them.
