Websites for agricultural engineers
Web design for agricultural engineers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Breakdowns in season are the emergency. Response time is what you are selling.
A machine down in the middle of harvest or silage costs a farm far more than the repair. That is the moment your customer is ringing, and they will ring whoever can attend soonest.
The rest of the year is servicing, parts and winter overhauls, which is planned, price-sensitive work bought quite differently.
What your customers want answered
- Do you do call-outs, and how quickly in season
- Which makes do you work on, and do you have parts
- What is the labour rate and is there a call-out charge
- Do you service and test as well as repair
- Do you come to the farm or does it have to come to you
State in-season response arrangementsWhether you run extended hours during harvest, how quickly you aim to attend, and what parts you carry on the van. Farmers plan around this, and a workshop that commits to it wins the accounts that matter.
Not listing the makes you cover
Farmers search for their tractor or machine by brand when something fails. A page naming the makes and equipment types you work on appears in exactly those searches.
Machines you service and repair
Explain the machinery you work on, such as tractors, harvesters, balers or dairy equipment, the makes you know, and whether you work on farm or in a workshop.
Breakdown response in busy seasons is a key question; say how it works.
Parts and booking
Explain parts supply and ordering, servicing schedules, areas covered and how to book a service or call-out.
Servicing before the season
Breakdowns at harvest are costly, so pre-season servicing matters. Explain what a service checks for tractors, combines, balers and other machinery, how long it takes and how far ahead to book. A seasonal reminder on the website prompts farmers to book early.
Mention whether you run mobile workshop vans for on-farm repairs, which makes you are approved for, and how you source parts quickly. Say if you sell or refurbish used machinery, fit telematics or GPS guidance, or carry out hydraulic and electrical work, as each is a specific need.
