Web design for engineering firms
I design and build websites for engineering firms that help clients and procurement teams confirm your capability quickly, and help you hire.

Send me your site. I’ll record a short video on what works, what doesn’t, and what I’d change first.
How clients choose
Engineering work is won through relationships, proposals and prequalification. Clients and procurement reviewers visit the site to check disciplines, sectors, project experience and who leads the work. Engineers you want to hire visit it too. The site has to read like a well-organized statement of qualifications.

- mechanical and electrical engineering firm
- residential structural engineer
- engineer stamp for building permit
- building envelope consultant calgary
What people type before they choose. Each of these deserves a clear answer somewhere on your site, usually its own page.
Pages your site needs
The pages I plan for almost every firm website, and why each one earns its place.
Disciplines
Structural, civil, mechanical, electrical. What each team does and who leads it.
Sectors
Commercial, industrial, institutional, residential. Buyers think in sectors, not disciplines.
Projects
Each with your role, scope, client type and delivery method. A gallery without scope tells reviewers little.
People
Principals and discipline leads with designations and focus.
Careers
Open roles, what it is like to work there and how you develop junior engineers.
Quality and safety
Your permit to practice, quality process and safety program, for prequalification.
What builds trust
The signals that move someone from browsing to choosing a firm.
Designations shown properly
P.Eng. and other designations used exactly as your association permits.
Firm authorization
Your permit to practice or equivalent, where your province requires one.
Project role stated
Prime consultant or subconsultant, and which disciplines you delivered.
Real project photography
Built work and site photos, credited, rather than stock imagery.
The conversion path
Primary action: Discuss a project with a discipline lead.
Fallback: Download the statement of qualifications.
Commercial clients and procurement reviewers get direct contacts by discipline and a downloadable statement of qualifications. Homeowners with small residential jobs get a separate, short form so they do not clog the main inbox.
Common mistakes
What I see most often when I review sites in this field.
Projects without scope
Beautiful photos with no role or scope leave procurement reviewers guessing.
Superlatives
"The best engineers in the province" is the kind of claim most associations discourage.
Careers as an afterthought
Hiring is often the firm’s biggest constraint, and candidates judge you on this page.
Homeowners and procurement in one funnel
Small residential inquiries bury the commercial ones you want.
Features worth building
Filterable project library
Filter by sector, discipline and delivery method, edited from the CMS.
Statement of qualifications download
A current PDF, updated alongside the website rather than separately.
Careers with live postings
Roles posted from the CMS or your applicant tracking system.
Residential intake
A short form for homeowners, with what to have ready and typical next steps.
Websites for engineering firms: common questions
Yes, with your role stated clearly. Procurement reviewers and clients care about what you delivered, not whose name was on the prime contract. A project page that says which disciplines you provided and at what stages is honest and useful. Overstating your role is a quick way to lose credibility with people who know the project.
More than many firms expect. Evaluators and clients often check the website before or after reading a proposal to confirm experience, people and capacity. If the site is thin or out of date, it undercuts the submission. A current project library and a downloadable statement of qualifications make their review easier.
If you do residential work, yes, but separate them. A short form for homeowners, with what to have ready such as drawings or photos, keeps those inquiries organized and away from commercial contacts. If you do not do residential work, say so clearly to save everyone time.
Treat careers as a real section, not a single line. Show the projects juniors work on, how mentoring and the path to licensure work, and real people on the team. Keep postings current. Engineers compare firms carefully, and a clear careers section can decide whether they apply.
