The old website was due for a rebuild, and the machine details sat in PDF brochures that buyers had to download and read one by one.
A catalogue of 28 machines in 6 categories, each with photos, features, a spec table, add-ons, a PDF brochure and a quote form.
Buyers filter, compare and request quotes online; every enquiry is saved in the admin, with a one-click WhatsApp reply.
From brochures to a catalogue
We wrote the features and specifications for every machine from the client's own PDF brochures, and converted 123 photos to WebP. The result is a catalogue of 28 machines in 6 categories with filters and search, machine pages with a gallery and lightbox, feature lists, spec tables, add-ons, 27 downloadable brochures, a quote form and related machines. Each category has its own page and address.
Enquiries that do not get lost
Inquiry and quote forms submit without reloading the page and are saved in the database. In the admin, each enquiry is marked read or unread and can be answered on WhatsApp with one click. A hidden honeypot field, a minimum fill time and a rate limit keep spam out.
An admin the client runs
The team manages machines (with multi-image upload and reordering, specs, brochures and SEO fields), categories, services, clients, the factory gallery, the navigation menu, enquiries, site settings and page SEO. A dashboard shows enquiries over time, the category mix, the latest enquiries and catalogue health, such as machines still missing photos or brochures.
Fast by design
- Uploads are turned into WebP files at 240, 480, 960 and 1600 px, and the browser picks the right size
- Full-page cache, cleared automatically whenever the admin changes something
- Self-hosted fonts and about 4 KB of JavaScript
- Structured data for the business, products, services, breadcrumbs and lists, plus a sitemap
What it means for a UAE manufacturer or trader
If buyers need specifications before they call, a catalogue like this does much of the selling. See website design and development or tell us about your range.
WDD rebuilt our website around a proper machine catalogue: specifications, photos and PDF brochures for every machine, with quote forms. Enquiries are saved in the admin and we can reply on WhatsApp with one click. Our team manages the catalogue ourselves.
