Overview

Web Design & Development Project Overview

Fastener Warehouse has been supplying bolts, anchors and specialty fasteners out of Saskatoon since 1994, and what it actually sells is the absence of a problem: a line that does not stop because somebody ran out of a part worth eleven cents. That is a difficult thing to build a website around, because the obvious structure — here is our catalogue — describes the parts rather than the promise.

So the site leads with four solutions instead: vendor-managed inventory, bin systems, custom kitting and packaging, and specialty fasteners. Each has its own page and points at the other three, because a customer who needs one usually ends up needing two. Beneath that sits the catalogue, sorted into ten product types, and beside it three separate pages on quality, safety and environment, and company history — the material a procurement officer checks before a first order. Accessible navigation and markup were part of the specification rather than an afterthought.

Case study

Deep Dive

What actually went into Fastener Warehouse’s build, decision by decision — and the service behind each one.

  • 01

    Lead with the problem, not the parts bin

    A fastener distributor's catalogue is enormous and nobody browses it for pleasure. What a plant manager is buying is a system that stops the shortage happening — managed inventory, bins that get refilled, kits packed to order. Four solutions sit at the top of the site for that reason, and the catalogue sits underneath where it belongs.

    Ten types, and one of them is Misc

    Anchors, bolts, clamps, latches, nuts, pins, rivets, screws, washers — and Misc. Every real inventory has a Misc, and pretending otherwise produces a taxonomy that people quietly stop using within six months. Ten honest buckets that the warehouse staff recognise will keep being maintained. A beautiful one that does not match the shelves will not.

    Procurement reads the quality page first

    Quality. Safety and environment. History. Three separate pages under About, not three headings on one. Before a manufacturer opens an account with a supplier, somebody in purchasing is checking exactly those things, and they need to be able to send a colleague a link to one of them rather than a link to a scroll position.

    Accessibility written into the scope

    Accessible navigation and markup structure were a line item in the original specification, back in 2023, alongside the layout and the hosting. Getting the heading order and the navigation right at build time costs nothing. Retrofitting it onto a live catalogue costs a great deal, which is why it belongs in the scope rather than in a later audit.
