A website builder for engineering firms

Disciplines and markets are two different menus

Civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, geotechnical, environmental. Those are disciplines. Municipal, commercial, residential, industrial, transportation, energy. Those are markets. A city engineer looking for stormwater help and a developer looking for a structural review search for different words.

So the plan proposes both: a page per discipline you practice and a page per market you serve, cross-linked. The plan lists only what you told the in-app assistant. You approve it with its cost before the build runs.

Licensure and the seal, stated by state

Professional engineers are licensed by state. Many states also require a firm certificate before a company may offer engineering work there. A licensure page lists each state, each license and each certificate exactly as you give them. It names the responsible engineer where a state asks for that.

A plain line says that nothing on the site is an engineering decision for any project. Every project gets its own sealed documents. The builder adds no license, no state and no credential you did not name.

Project pages a procurement reader can actually use

A selection committee reads a project page for the owner, the scope, your role, the delivery method and the outcome. The assistant asks for each in plain questions. It writes the page in that order. Any figure comes from you or does not appear.

A confidential project can still say the sector, the scope and the discipline without a name. A page can say where to ask for your statement of qualifications. A walkthrough video can be added as a click-to-load embed from a YouTube or Vimeo link.

The pages a homeowner searches for

Nobody types the name of a discipline into a search box. A county inspector has asked for a stamped letter, so they type the thing they need. Structural letters, permit drawings, foundation inspections, site plans, septic design where you offer it, retaining wall design. Each of those gets its own plain page, if you do that work.

That page explains what the document is and why an inspector asks for it. It says what you need to see, and how to send a request. It does not say what any county requires. It says what you do when asked.

• Structural letters and inspections for permits and sales
• Site, grading and drainage plans for a single lot
• Foundation and retaining wall design for a contractor

Two request paths on one form

An organization gives its name, the project type, the location and the timeline. It also says whether a formal request for proposals exists. A homeowner gives an address and what the inspector or lender asked for. The form on every page takes both. A short line tells each which fields matter.

Each submission is delivered to Slack, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Salesforce, your email or any webhook. Every delivery is signed. Invite teammates into one shared account, so the principal, the marketing lead and the front desk see the same leads. Each lead carries a status and a note.

Certifications and careers, kept honest

Small business, disadvantaged business and similar certifications matter to public owners. List the ones you hold, with the agency that issued each. The page repeats them as given. Quality and safety programs you follow are stated the same way.

A careers page lists the roles you are hiring for, in your words. It is one page you can add yourself in plain paragraphs at no charge. It passes the same check every page does.

What the interview asks an engineering firm

Expect questions about the disciplines you practice and the markets you serve. It asks which states you hold licenses and certificates in, the principals, the projects you want shown, and your certifications. It also asks whether you take homeowner work at all.

The whole site is written from a conversation. It passes a check that runs before anything publishes, validated against Google Search Essentials and modern web standards. The AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers read the same plain answer at the top of each page a committee member does. A site that splits the homeowner's stamped letter from the agency's request for proposals is genuinely useful to both.
