About the Client

Abbott Gage, Inc. is a woman-owned business based in Childersburg, Alabama, with over four decades of experience in the precision measuring tool industry. They provide calibration, certification, repair services, and equipment sales to industrial clients across the United States.

As an ISO 9001:2015 certified and WBENC-certified business, Abbott Gage maintains the highest standards in precision measurement, with standards traceable to NIST. Their website needed to reflect this level of professionalism and expertise.


The Challenge

Abbott Gage's original website was built in the early 2000s using static HTML. While it served them well for years, the digital landscape had evolved, and their online presence no longer matched their industry reputation.
No Mobile Experience

Fixed 910px width layout meant over 60% of potential customers on mobile devices had a poor experience.

Outdated Technology

Built on XHTML 1.0 with proprietary JavaScript, the site was difficult to maintain and lacked modern security standards.

No Content Management

Every update required manual HTML editing, making it impossible for staff to maintain content independently.

Poor Search Visibility

Missing SEO fundamentals like schema markup, proper meta tags, and mobile-first indexing support.

Before & After

A complete visual and technical transformation that modernized every aspect of the website.
