MFG Spec Questions & Answers

Don't see what you're looking for? Please ask us...

  • Why does MFG Spec only work with metalworking job shops & manufacturers?

We love machine tool manufacturing processes and cut parts. After 26 years in Web development and SEO, we decided to work exclusively in an industry we already respected and admired.  As you know, specialization is more efficient and leverages experience and skills to increase efficiency in meeting spec – our clients needs – as with any skillset. Everybody wins.

Aside Web development and SEO, we also have direct experience with – and decent knowledge of – metal working, ops, machine tools, cutting tools, CAD drawings, vendor sourcing, part buying, RFQ’s, production, freight and customer management.

  • How do I make my monthly payment if I choose to finance my program?
Monthly payment are processed automatically on your credit or debit card. It’s easier and more efficient for everybody, and ensures your Website and services stay up and running. We do not keep your card information on file at MFG Spec.  Only our bank keeps it on file.
  • Can I pay for my Website outright when it's finished?
Yes, of course.  If you prefer that approach – no problem.
  • Do we own our Website after our payment term?

Yes, of course.  We’re happy to continue to support your site, hosting, software and any or your elected content or design updates.  Note: After your term or outright payment, hosting and software fees will still be billed.  Our shop rate applies on any new content, design and development requests. We currently bill at $125/ hour.

  • Can we take possession of our site and move it after our payment term?

Yes, of course.  We’re happy to support your business decision.  We’ll provide any assistance useful to you and your team – or new vendor – to get your site transferred to its new home.  All of your account information, user names, passwords and remaining software license terms will be provided to you.  We don’t take hostages.  We appreciate our clients, and treat them the way we want to be treated by our vendors.

  • Do we get to help you design our site?
To some extent. If you’re able to provide a nailed down design specification before development begins, yes – to that extent.  Your design idea – and preferably site examples of what you like – need to be feasible within your site’s program.  Some sites that look “really, really cool” cost a ton in design work.  Some businesses think it’s worth it.  If crazy super cool is what you must have, we can discuss how that additional design work might impact your cost.  We like to think our design work is pretty cool – without costing extra.  Our job is to make you look professional and current.  That’s our design goal.
  • Is my site going to be secure? What about my RFQ's coming in?
Yes.  We host with advanced vendors, including WPEngine and AWS (Amazon Web Services).  We can scale the level of security as high as you like, including meeting aerospace, tech sector and defense contracts.  Just let us know what your requirements are an we’ll accommodate you.  Our Website Programs already include scaled security features.  But, let us know your spec and we’ll meet it.
  • Did you really start Web development on a 14.4Kbps dial-up modem?

Yup… in 1996, on Windows 95. Yikes. Miss that sweet, modem song?
