What the website needed to do

Mellis Welding Supplies had an older website with a shop of about 105 products, but its biggest question was one the website couldn’t answer: which machine, gas and consumables do I need? Trade buyers want to know the stock is there and the price, and someone about to spend hundreds or thousands on a MIG or TIG set wants to know there is a person to call before and after they buy. The new website had to show the whole range, sell it online, make gas swaps and prices plain, and put 45 years of family knowledge in front of every visitor.

How we shaped it

Webfreezee built a workshop-tough design from the MWS badge: deep navy, warm charcoal and the logo’s arc-bright green, with condensed uppercase headings and hard corners. Green is kept for actions, so Speak to an expert and Shop online always stand out. The home page opens with Suffolk’s trusted welding supplier since 1981, the MWS artwork and a green band of facts, then the range under one roof and the most popular machines from the shop. Its signature is a What are you welding? guide: choose car bodywork, fabrication and farm repairs, stainless and aluminium, gas swaps or PPE, and it says where to start and links to the right part of the shop or to Matt. The shop holds all 265 products in 22 categories, from MIG welders to welding tables, with photo tiles, search, prices ex VAT and a basket for collection or delivery, all managed in the Portal.

A website built around the business

The finished website works perfectly on phones and brings together an online shop of 265 products in 22 categories, a products page that opens each category, the What are you welding? guide, a welding gas page with every cylinder size, price and deposit and how a swap works with no monthly rental, servicing and repairs, Migatronic warranty work and CP7 and CP47 gas inspections, delivery and collection, the family story from 1981 to today, reviews and a contact form that asks what the enquiry is about. Opening hours, the phone number and Speak to an expert are on every page, and every page is set up so Google understands what MWS sells and where.
