UI/UX Design for manufacturers

UI/UX design works out how people move through your website or product to complete a task, then designs screens that make each step obvious. For manufacturers, that means getting product ranges and specifications, technical documents and dealer and stockist information right, because trade buyers, distributors and specifiers want to request a quote or find a stockist without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Trade buyers, distributors and specifiers want to request a quote or find a stockist.

A manufacturer website usually has to handle product ranges with specifications, dealer and stockist finder, trade quote requests and spec sheets and brochures.

Product ranges with specifications: specifiers need dimensions, materials and standards on the page.

Dealer and stockist finder: buyers who cannot buy direct need the nearest supplier.

Trade quote requests: trade buyers need pricing for their quantities and specifications.

Spec sheets and brochures: specifiers attach documents to their own plans and quotes.
