Judd Lyon - Web consultant for manufacturers

Featured clients

Sound familiar?

You run marketing at a manufacturer. The website is one of 100 things you juggle.

  • Forms quietly stop working and nobody notices for days
  • Competitors show up in ChatGPT. You don't.
  • Leads come in through the site and get credited to sales
  • You send a PDF instead of the link to your website
  • Nobody can find where in the back end to edit the text

It's not you. Your site was built to launch, not to run. Whoever built it moved on, and you inherited the result.

What makes a website industrial grade

Three things, built in from day one.

Easy to find

Show up in Google, ChatGPT and AI Overviews for the products you actually sell.

Easy to use

Pages that guide a buyer to the right product instead of dumping specs. Forms that route leads where they belong.

Easy to manage

A CMS built around how your content works. You publish news, products and specs yourself. I handle the code.

How it gets built: SMACK

I've built hundreds of websites. SMACK is what I boiled them down to.

  1. Strategy + stakeholders

    Goals, decision-makers and what success looks like.

  2. Market + messaging

    Competitors, positioning and research.

  3. Architecture + aesthetics

    Site structure, page types and design.

  4. Code + configuration

    Development, CMS setup and data modeling.

  5. Kickoffs + KPIs

    Analytics, measurement and maintenance after launch.

Most web vendors take orders. I spend more time up front on strategy and messaging, because that's what decides whether a site brings in leads. Every project starts there, with a Strategy Sprint.

Real results

Who I work with

The right fit

You are...

  • You're the underdog. Leaner, faster, hungrier.
  • You want your website to work as hard as your trade show booth
  • You move fast. You expect the same from everyone you work with.
  • You see the AI shift coming and want to be ready

Not a fit

  • You love meetings, committees and 6-month timelines
  • You're comparing build prices, not what the site costs to run
  • You need a vendor to babysit, not a strategist to trust
  • You're comfortable doing things the way they've always been done

Frequently asked questions

Most projects start with a Strategy Sprint, $7,500. You get a blueprint you can build with me, on your own or with anyone. If you build with me, it's credited toward the project. Builds start at $25,000, fixed price and fixed scope.

That's where most of the work is. I stay on as your developer through a monthly maintenance plan. You handle content. I handle the code, updates and anything that breaks.

I'm not here to replace them. I work alongside your agency and handle the website side, so your marketing and your site pull in the same direction.

I work with trusted specialists in design, development and copywriting. But I'm the single throat to choke. No account managers, no handoffs. You work with me, and I'm accountable for everything.

I've been building websites since 2001 and helping manufacturers for 15 years. Websites and AI search change every month, and you've got 99 other things to do. I obsess over it so you don't have to. Now you've got a guy.

I'm typically booked at least a quarter ahead. Book a call and we'll scope your project so you're ready when a slot opens.
