What Aerospace Website Development Actually Fixes — And What It Won't

Your procurement form fires — but the RFQ lands in a generic inbox, gets manually sorted three days later, and your engineering team never sees the CAD files attached. Aerospace website development rebuilds that entire workflow: multi-step RFQ forms route directly to your ERP, file uploads trigger automatic part number lookups, and certifications display as structured data so Google surfaces your AS9100 credentials before a buyer even lands on your site. It's WebGL 3D renders replacing static PDFs, faceted search across 12,000 SKUs replacing Ctrl+F, and ITAR-controlled content living behind auth walls instead of mixed into your public catalog. It won't fix your supply chain delays or write your technical documentation. But it will stop losing qualified leads to competitors whose sites let engineers find, inspect, and request quotes in under two minutes.

Wo Projekte scheitern

Your site was built in 2012 with no CMS -- and every single update requires a developer ticket That's not a minor inconvenience. Content goes stale, RFQ leads quietly drop off, and competitors with modern sites are picking up your prospects while you're waiting on a two-week backlog. It adds up faster than most people realize.
When your product catalog has thousands of parts and zero structured data or real search functionality, engineers can't find what they need So what do they do? They call your sales team. That's a productivity drain on both ends, and it's completely avoidable with the right search and data architecture in place.
Field engineers are pulling up your site on tablets on the floor -- and it's not mobile-responsive That's a real productivity loss. But honestly, it's also a brand problem. When you're presenting to primes and your own site looks broken on a tablet, that's a conversation you don't want to have.
There's no clear separation between ITAR-controlled content and publicly accessible content on your site That's compliance exposure -- the kind that triggers regulatory review and can cost you export privileges. It's the sort of thing that looks fine until it very much isn't.
Unoptimized CAD renders and PDF-heavy pages are killing your load times And it's not just a user experience problem -- Google penalizes Core Web Vitals failures, which pushes you below competitors in search rankings. Slow pages and lost rankings together are a quiet revenue leak.
Your site isn't connected to your ERP or CRM for RFQ workflows, which means manual data entry, errors, and slow response times In aerospace procurement, whoever responds fastest often wins. Right now, you're handing those deals to someone else.

Compliance

ITAR-Aware Content Architecture

We build structured content models that explicitly separate export-controlled technical data from public marketing content. Role-based access controls and geo-IP fencing handle restricted documentation -- so the right people see the right content, and that boundary is enforced at the architecture level, not just by policy.

SOC 2 Aligned Hosting

Infrastructure meets SOC 2 Type II requirements. Everything's encrypted at rest and in transit, and audit logging is on by default -- not something you have to request after the fact.

WCAG 2.2 AA Accessibility

Full accessibility compliance for government contract requirements and Section 508 is non-negotiable for us. Every deployment goes through both automated scanning and manual testing. Both matter -- automated tools catch maybe 30-40% of real accessibility issues on their own.

Edge-Cached Performance

Static generation and CDN delivery keep load times under a second globally. That's critical when an engineer in Frankfurt or Singapore is pulling up technical documentation in the field and can't wait around for a slow server response.

Structured Data for Technical Catalogs

Schema markup covers products, specifications, and certifications. Done right, this helps Google surface your actual capabilities directly in search results -- not just your homepage, but the specific parts and certs procurement teams are searching for.

Analytics & Conversion Tracking

Analytics dashboards track RFQ submissions, PDF downloads, and specification page engagement without third-party cookie dependency. You get real insight into what's working -- and you're not handing visitor data to ad networks in the process.

Was wir bauen

Replace static CAD screenshots with WebGL 3D viewers that let procurement teams rotate assemblies and zoom into tolerances before submitting an RFQ

Procurement teams inspect components in 3D before requesting quotes — shortening the pre-RFQ back-and-forth that usually adds three days to every deal

Deploy faceted search across materials, certifications, and specs so engineers filter 12,000 parts down to six candidates in under 30 seconds

Engineers find the exact part spec in under a minute instead of calling your sales team or bouncing to a competitor's catalog

Build multi-step RFQ workflows with file upload, part lookup, and direct ERP routing so requests hit your engineering team's queue in real time

RFQs route directly to the correct engineering team with full context and attached files — no manual sorting, no dropped leads, no "we'll follow up" emails

Structure AS9100, NADCAP, and ITAR certifications as schema markup so Google surfaces your compliance credentials in search results

Your certifications appear in Google search snippets and dedicated compliance hubs — exactly where procurement teams look before they ever contact you

Install a headless CMS so your technical staff update datasheets and case studies without filing developer tickets or waiting two weeks

Your content stays current because non-technical staff can publish updates themselves — and your site stops sitting six months out of date

Architect multi-division sites serving commercial, defense, and space under one platform with shared components and independent content control

Each business unit controls their own content while sharing infrastructure — you're not maintaining three separate sites or paying triple the hosting and dev cost

Unser Prozess

01

Technical Discovery & Content Audit

We start by mapping your product taxonomy, reviewing ITAR requirements, auditing existing content, and interviewing stakeholders across engineering, sales, and marketing. That last part especially -- sales and engineering often have completely different ideas about what the site needs to do.
Week 1-2
02

Information Architecture & Wireframes

Sitemap and page-level wireframes get built around your three core audiences: procurement officers, engineers, and prime contractors. Each one has different questions when they land on your site, and the architecture needs to reflect that.
Week 3-4
03

Visual Design & Prototyping

High-fidelity designs come with interactive prototypes for the pages that matter most -- the catalog, capabilities overview, and RFQ flow. Desktop and mobile comps for each. You're reviewing real designs, not wireframes with placeholder text.
Week 5-6
04

Development & Integration

The build covers Next.js with headless CMS, CRM integration, structured data, and 3D viewer development. Weekly staging deployments so you can see progress as it's happening -- not just a big reveal at the end.
Week 7-11
05

QA, Launch & Optimization

Cross-browser and device testing, accessibility audit, performance benchmarking, security review. Plus thirty days of post-launch support and monitoring included. The launch isn't the finish line.

Häufige Fragen

How do you handle ITAR-controlled content on a website?

We build content models with public/restricted classification baked into the architecture -- not bolted on afterward. Restricted technical data sits behind authenticated portals with role-based access controls and geo-IP filtering. The real kicker is that the CMS itself enforces these boundaries, so editors can't accidentally publish controlled information to the public site. We work directly with your compliance team to define those rules before a single line of code gets written.

Can you build a searchable parts catalog for thousands of components?

Yes. We build faceted search with client-side filtering that handles tens of thousands of parts without page reloads. Filters cover material type, tolerance, certification, dimensions, and whatever custom attributes your catalog needs. Data syncs from your ERP or a headless CMS, and each individual part page generates structured data for Google indexing -- so your parts actually show up in search.

How long does an aerospace website project take?

A typical aerospace website runs 10 to 13 weeks from kickoff to launch. Projects with ERP integrations, 3D product viewers, or multi-division architectures can stretch to 16 weeks. We set a fixed timeline during discovery and hold to it. Aerospace companies don't tolerate schedule slip -- and honestly, neither do we.

Do you integrate with aerospace ERP and CRM systems?

We integrate with Epicor, SAP, Salesforce, HubSpot, and other common aerospace tools. RFQ submissions route directly into your CRM with full context attached. Parts catalog data syncs from your ERP on a schedule or via API. Integration scope gets defined during discovery so nothing surprises you mid-project.

Will the website work for government procurement officers?

Yes. We design with procurement workflows in mind -- capability statements, certification displays, CAGE and DUNS lookup, downloadable capability briefs, clean RFQ forms. And WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility keeps you compliant with Section 508 requirements for government users, which matters the moment a federal agency lands on your site.

What CMS do you recommend for aerospace companies?

For aerospace sites, we typically recommend Sanity. It handles structured content modeling that maps cleanly to complex product taxonomies, supports role-based publishing workflows, and uses an API-first architecture that separates content from presentation. Marketing edits visually. Engineering specs stay locked to strict data schemas. It's pretty straightforward once it's set up -- and it's the kind of CMS your team will actually use.
