Complete Digital Transformation
How we built an 18-page Next.js platform with a 95+ product catalog for a sole-source naval supplier — delivering sub-second loads and WCAG 2.1 AA certification.
Challenge
A sole-source supplier to the entire U.S. naval fleet was operating with a dead Wix site that was effectively invisible to search engines. There was no product catalog — buyers had to request PDF spec sheets by phone. Certifications that should have been competitive advantages — ISO 9001, AS9100, ITAR registration, CMMC readiness — were buried or entirely absent from the web presence. The site failed basic accessibility audits, loaded in over five seconds, and collapsed on mobile devices. Contracting officers and prime program managers who landed on the site had no way to evaluate the company's capabilities without picking up the phone.
Approach
We built a production-grade Next.js platform from the ground up. Eighteen pages of structured content designed for the two audiences that matter: government contracting officers evaluating capability and prime contractor PMs assessing partnership potential. We implemented a parametric product catalog spanning 95+ products with NSN search, specification filtering, and material-level detail — the same architecture that makes McMaster-Carr the gold standard for industrial parts sourcing. Every page was built to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance standards. Security headers were hardened across the deployment. A complete SEO infrastructure was implemented including XML sitemap, structured data markup for every product, canonical tags, and meta optimization. The platform deployed to a global edge CDN with sub-second page loads.
