Mission-grade websites for the defense industrial base.
Production-hardened platforms engineered for defense manufacturers, government contractors, and the industrial companies behind national security. Not templates. Not WordPress. Infrastructure.
Your website is not a brochure. It is a business system.
Most defense manufacturers are running their digital presence on platforms designed for restaurants and real estate agents. WordPress sites with shared hosting, Wix pages built by someone's nephew, or a ten-year-old CMS that nobody knows how to update. The site loads in four seconds, the product catalog is a PDF, and the entire thing collapses on a mobile phone.
This is not a cosmetic problem. A contracting officer at NAVSUP or a program manager at Lockheed will land on your site, evaluate your credibility in under ten seconds, and move on. They are not scrolling through a slider carousel or waiting for a stock photo to render. They want to know what you make, what your specifications are, and whether you are a real operation or a garage shop with a nice logo.
The stakes are compounded by compliance. Government-facing web properties must meet Section 508 accessibility standards. ITAR-controlled data requires infrastructure-level consideration for where your hosting lives, who has access, and how technical data flows. A WordPress site on Bluehost does not meet these requirements, and if you are bidding contracts that require a VPAT, you are already behind.
Next.js. Edge-deployed. Production-hardened.
We build on the same framework powering the platforms at Walmart, Nike, and the Washington Post. Then we harden it for the defense sector.
Next.js + React Server Components
Server-side rendering for instant page loads and zero JavaScript hydration delays. Every page is pre-rendered at build time or streamed from the edge, delivering sub-second Largest Contentful Paint scores consistently.
Vercel Edge CDN
Global edge deployment across 100+ points of presence. Your site is served from the node closest to the visitor — whether that is a contracting officer at DLA in Richmond or a prime PM in Huntsville. No origin round-trips. No cold starts.
Hardened Security Headers
Content Security Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy configured out of the box. Every deployment is scanned for mixed content, exposed endpoints, and header compliance.
CI/CD + Preview Deployments
Every commit triggers a preview deployment with its own URL for review before going live. Automated Lighthouse audits run on every build to enforce performance budgets, accessibility scores, and SEO benchmarks.
McMaster-Carr-grade catalog infrastructure.
Defense manufacturers live and die by their product specifications. Your buyers are engineers and procurement officers who need to find parts by NSN, CAGE code, material specification, or MIL-SPEC compliance level. A WordPress page with a list of product photos does not serve them.
We build parametric search catalogs — the same architecture that makes McMaster-Carr the gold standard for industrial parts sourcing. Multi-dimensional filtering by specification, material, compliance standard, dimensional tolerance, and application. NSN and CAGE code lookup with structured data markup so Google indexes your parts directly. Integrated RFQ functionality that captures the buyer's requirements and routes them to your sales team with full context.
Every product page includes structured data (Schema.org Product markup) so search engines understand your catalog programmatically. Specification tables are rendered server-side for instant display, not loaded via client-side JavaScript that search crawlers may miss. Downloadable spec sheets, CAD files, and test reports are served through signed URLs with proper access controls — critical for any product data that touches ITAR thresholds.
ITAR-aware infrastructure. Not an afterthought.
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations govern the export and disclosure of defense-related technical data. For manufacturers, this has direct implications for your web infrastructure. Where your servers are physically located, who has administrative access, and how technical data traverses the network all matter.
We architect websites with ITAR awareness built into the deployment topology. U.S.-based edge nodes for primary serving, geo-restriction capabilities for blocking access from embargoed countries, and access control layers for any protected technical data. This does not replace your ITAR compliance program — it ensures your website does not inadvertently create an export control violation by serving controlled technical data to a foreign national through a CDN node in Singapore.
For manufacturers handling CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), we implement NIST 800-171 aligned access controls for any authenticated portal features. Audit logging, session management, and role-based access are built on proven patterns, not bolted-on plugins.
508 compliant. Core Web Vitals dominant.
Every platform we deliver meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a baseline requirement. This is not optional for government-facing web properties — Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act mandates accessibility compliance, and contracting officers increasingly require VPAT documentation as part of vendor evaluation.
We test with axe-core, WAVE, and manual screen reader evaluation (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS). Keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA landmark structure, color contrast ratios, alternative text — these are not items we check at the end. They are baked into the component library from the first commit.
Sole-source naval manufacturer. Full platform rebuild.
A sole-source supplier to the entire U.S. naval fleet came to us with a legacy CMS that had not been meaningfully updated in years. Product specifications were buried in PDFs. The site failed basic accessibility audits. Page load times exceeded five seconds.
We delivered an 18-page Next.js platform with a parametric product catalog spanning 95+ products, full WCAG 2.1 AA certification, structured data markup for every product, and a complete SEO infrastructure including XML sitemap, canonical tags, and meta optimization. The site deployed to a global edge network with sub-second load times and a Lighthouse performance score exceeding 95.
