The challenge

A Digital Brochure, Not a Lead Engine

Coastal Forge Industries had a decade-old website that did one job: exist. It listed capabilities in dense paragraphs, took 9 seconds to load on mobile, had no clear enquiry path, and its product pages weren't structured for the spec-level searches buyers actually made. Every RFQ still arrived through phone calls to existing contacts — the website itself had never generated a single traceable enquiry. Meanwhile competitors with dramatically weaker products were outranking them simply because their sites loaded and made sense.
