01The delivered site

Delivered layout.

02The brief

Traffic arrived. Buying still felt like work.

What we were hired to fix

Forge Industrial Supply needed a ecommerce shop that did one commercial job: trade account sign-ups. B2B catalogue shop — SKU search, trade pricing tiers, and account login.

The constraint was not “more pages”. It was a b2b trade audience who would leave if the next step was vague. We treated that as the brief, not a later optimisation.

We shipped a finished ecommerce shop — copy, layout and conversion path — so the team could run trade account sign-ups from a URL they own.

03What we delivered

Find, compare, buy — then repeat.

We built Forge Industrial Supply as delivered work, not a concept. Structure, proof and the trade account sign-ups path were designed together, then implemented as a maintainable front end.

Every block on the page has a job: explain the offer, show evidence, and move a real person to trade account sign-ups. If it did not do that, it did not ship.

  1. 01

    Structure the catalogue.

    Categories, SKUs and collections match how the buyer already shops — trade, wholesale or consumer.

  2. 02

    Make the product honest.

    Photos, prices, case sizes and stock cues on the card. No mystery between listing and basket.

  3. 03

    Shorten the checkout.

    Account, guest or reorder paths with fewer blockers between intent and paid order.

  4. 04

    Ready for the next range.

    Promos, vendors and repeat orders sit on the same rails so growth does not mean a rebuild.

04Outcomes

What good looked like.

A conversion path that is obvious.

Visitors can complete trade account sign-ups without a sitemap. The action sits where the offer is.

A site that looks like the business.

Forge Industrial Supply reads as a b2b trade ecommerce shop — not a reused template with the logo swapped.

A build they can keep running.

The same structure takes a new offer, SKU or workflow without starting again.

Next step

Good ecommerce feels predictable: find, compare, buy, repeat.

A short call with the person who would run it — not a sales script.
