No there is no specific template. This site project is intended to be a template site that an end user could use for their industrial /industrial workshop business.

I have seen that most industrial businesses are using Wordpress and Divi theme from ElegantThemes with specific set of plugins.

While Wordpress and Divi theme are great, I highly suspect that whoever chose to use that did not reallly have a good alternative.

My goal for this sites theme is to be a lot better than that solution which is mainly a easy button solution in PHP

I can make a draw.io template based on what we have.

Ideally / root page or /index.html would display everything a customer or buyer would need to look at when choosing a business in that category.

I need to let everyone know that my Seattle Precision Machine Shop logo and branding are proprietary. So, the template needs to be a bit more generic (no logo, branding, etc. ) and provide placeholders for the end user to add their own branding (logo, etc). Any branding and logo and references to SPMS need to be removed.

There are some great placeholder stuff at: https://logoipsum.com/ that are free to use.

The navbar is not consistent in and across all pages of the site. The way it exists in the current index.html is correct in how it should look, however,

the Dropdown doen't even work and is not even correct.

The dropdown should go (link) to the capabilities page (capabilities.html) and be called Capabilities instead of Dropdown. Therein, the tabs in the dropdown should be:

• Services
• Equipment
• Materials
• Industries

these should be # links to different sections of the capabilities.html page. so for instance you would have capabilites.html#materials. ideally these references would be bootstrap v5.2 cards.

[ketsebaotgizachew]

fixed the dropdown I think this is what you meant and it navigates to capablities.html#services and etc...

[gbowne1]

Yes, thats exactly it. @ketsebaotgizachew

[ketsebaotgizachew]

Yes, thats exactly it. @ketsebaotgizachew

so the other two pages the contact and about page contain a navbar which has a lot of menus on it should I make it similar to the one on index.html

[gbowne1]

Minor things to add to this would be a dropdown to about linking to about.html and a # link to history section of he about page.

Also missing is a tab for quality and a tab named gallery Have not decided whether that should be a part of About or another tab as a # link.

I would like to keep the number of pages in the site no more than 5 html pages/files.

Everything else can be modals, poppers, etc.

Oh and the one page with Google Maps in the footer.. thats the correct version of the footer to use in all the pages.

Contact page needs a little more text like "We would like to hear from you...".

One last item to create would be to add a good looking carousel gallery of pictures in either about or one of the sections of capabities.

[gbowne1]

Yes, thats exactly it. @ketsebaotgizachew

so the other two pages the contact and about page contain a navbar which has a lot of menus on it should I make it similar to the one on index.html

Yes. It should basically be the same. Just set the #active property to each html page in the tab so it highlights whatever page youre viewing.

The rfq/quotes page has a very messed up navbar at the moment.

[ketsebaotgizachew]

fixed the rfq/quotes is this how it is supposed to look

[gbowne1]

Yes @ketsebaotgizachew . That is it.

This jobs/careers page also needs a careers or jobs section that shows job listings, HR contacts... stuff like that. Not just a job application.
