A Modern, Cleancut Website for the Custom Shims Industry
For Budget Engineering, TLDC Marketing designed a corporate, modern and cleancut website that reflects the precision of their stainless steel shim and custom shim manufacturing.
The layout guides visitors effortlessly from high-level company information to specific product ranges such as:
-
Pre-cut shims
-
Shim kits
-
Shim stock
-
Custom shims
Clear calls-to-action throughout the site make it easy for users to request quotes or ask for more information. Strong industrial visuals, structured typography and a restrained colour palette work together to convey trust, technical accuracy and longevity — ideal for a brand supplying critical components to sectors like mining, power generation, steel mills, petrochemical plants and more.
At the heart of the website is a built-in cart-to-quote system, which transforms the site from a static product catalogue into a powerful, sales-driven tool.
What Is the Function of a Cart-to-Quote System?
A cart-to-quote system bridges the gap between browsing and formal quoting — especially in B2B and technical industries where pricing depends on specifications, quantities and material choices.
On Budget Engineering’s website, the cart-to-quote feature allows visitors to:
-
Browse the full product range (pre-cut shims, shim kits, shim stock, custom shims).
-
Select items, sizes, thicknesses and quantities.
-
Upload custom specifications where needed (especially for custom shims).
-
Add products to a quote list instead of checking out like a standard online store.
-
Submit that quote list, along with contact details, directly to the Budget Engineering team.
Behind the scenes, the system automatically compiles a structured request so the sales team can respond with accurate pricing, lead times and shipping information — without endless back-and-forth emails.
The Benefits of a Cart-to-Quote System
A cart-to-quote system delivers value to both the customer and the business.
For Customers
-
✅ Simplified quoting process
Customers can build a full list of products and specifications in one place and send a single, organised quote request. -
✅ Clarity before committing
They can compare options, refine quantities and see their full selection before submitting. -
✅ Easy customisation
Additional notes and file uploads for custom shims ensure that technical requirements are clearly communicated.
For Budget Engineering (and similar B2B companies)
-
⚙️ Automated quote generation
Less manual capturing, fewer errors and faster turnaround times. -
📊 Better quality enquiries
Each request arrives with product codes, sizes and specs already structured and easy to process. -
👥 Valuable customer data

🚀 Higher conversion rates
A smooth, guided quote journey keeps serious buyers engaged and makes it easier for the sales team to close deals.
For TLDC Marketing’s portfolio, this project is a strong example of how user-friendly UX and smart functionality can turn a specialised industrial website into an active, lead-generating asset.
