Eight decades · Est. 1945
Precision metal fabrication since 1945. From a single laser-cut blank to a welded, machined, and powder-coated assembly, Wayne Metals builds it under one roof in Markle, Indiana — an ISO 9001 & 14001-certified contract fabricator eight decades in.
Sec 01
Everything metal, under one roof.
Cut, form, punch, weld, machine, and finish — the full fabrication path in one Markle plant, so your part ships complete instead of bouncing between vendors.

Laser & Plasma Cutting
High-speed sheet and plate burning, fed by an automated load tower for lights-out throughput.
02
Press-Brake Forming
Precision bending and forming to your print.
03
Punch-Press / Turret Stamping
CNC turret punching for holes, louvers, and formed features at volume.

ISO 9001:2015
Quality Management
Certified quality-management system — documented process control and traceability on every part that ships.
ISO 14001:2015
Environmental Management
Certified environmental-management system — the responsible-supplier standard OEM procurement increasingly requires.
Certifications per Wayne Metals' published record — verified on your certificates at project kickoff.

Sec 05
Working with us.
The questions a sourcing engineer asks before sending the first RFQ — answered straight.
01What materials and processes can you run in-house?
The full fabrication path under one roof in Markle: laser & plasma cutting, press-brake forming, CNC turret punching and stamping, robotic and manual welding, CNC machining, powder coating and wet paint, and sub- and final assembly. Your part ships complete instead of bouncing between vendors.
02What are your typical lead times?
Lead times depend on the process mix, material, and volume — a laser-cut-and-formed part moves faster than a fully welded, machined, and powder-coated assembly.Sample — confirm current lead times with our team
03Are you certified?
Yes — Wayne Metals holds active ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) certifications. Documented process control and traceability back every part that ships, and current certificates are shared at project kickoff.
04Do you handle prototypes, or only production? Is there a minimum order?
From first-article prototypes to ongoing production runs.Sample — minimum-order and prototype terms vary by project; confirm with our team
05What industries do you serve?
Eight decades of contract work across material handling, industrial equipment, construction & ag, heavy truck, bus, and rail — from a start building components for International Harvester in 1945.

Redesign
Your site today, and the redesign.
The current waynemetals.com is a single-page WordPress build. For an eight-decade, ISO-certified, 172,000 ft² fabricator, it undersells the operation. Here's an honest side-by-side — factual, not a critique for its own sake.
Your site today
Current waynemetals.com — a single-page WordPress build: tabbed text, no capabilities showcase, no clear quote path, not built for mobile. Scroll the frame to see the full page.
The redesign
This page — heritage numeral, capabilities and equipment up front, certifications called out, one clear quote path, fast on any phone.
- Mobile-firstReads perfectly on the phone a buyer actually uses.
- Capabilities-forwardProcesses, equipment, and certs front and center.
- Clear quote pathOne obvious way to request a quote, everywhere.
- Fast & findableBuilt to load fast and rank for what you make.
A proposal from Intense Visions
The page above is a redesign concept. Here's what we'd actually build.
Everything up top was built from Wayne Metals' public information and your own floor photos — no work on your end. Below: the real scope, timeline, and a plain estimate.
Sec 06
What we'd build for Wayne Metals.
A fast, mobile-first site that turns eight decades, real capabilities, and two ISO certs into a credible first impression for sourcing engineers — and a clear path to a quote. See our work at intensevisions.com.
- Capabilities-forward homepageThe layout above, refined — every process organized so a buyer sizes you up in seconds.
- Equipment & quality pagesYour machine list and ISO certifications presented for supplier audits, built from your photos.
- Request-a-quote formRFQs land straight in your inbox — no missed inquiries.
- Modernized on waynemetals.comWe rebuild on your existing domain — same address, current site.
- Found on GoogleStructured, fast, and mobile-first so buyers searching "contract fabricator Indiana" find you.

Sec 08
Room to grow with you.
Everything above is the site you need now — nothing here is required to launch. When the shop is ready, these are honest phase-2 add-ons that fit a contract fabricator. We scope each one only if and when you want it.
Phase 2 · when you're ready
RFQ / quote-request portal
A structured quote request — part specs, quantities, and drawing / file upload — routed straight to your team, so RFQs arrive complete instead of as a bare email.

Sec 09
Questions about the redesign.
The practical questions about modernizing waynemetals.com in place — answered from the scope and estimate above, nothing hidden.
01How much does it cost?
A $1,500 one-time build, then hosting & care from $20/mo — or go $99/mo all-in with $0 down and cancel anytime. It's an estimate, not a quote; the final number is confirmed on a 15-minute call.
02How long does it take?
About two weeks from kickoff to live: Week 1 is design & content, Week 2 is build & review, then launch day. Actual dates depend on how fast photos and approvals come back.
03What happens to our current waynemetals.com — do we keep our domain?
You keep it. We rebuild on your existing waynemetals.com — same address, your email untouched — and cut over cleanly only when you approve. No new domain, no migration for your team to manage.
04Do we own the site, or is it managed?
You own the site. Hosting & care is an optional managed service — $20/mo hosting, $59/mo for fuller care, or $99/mo all-in — that keeps it live, secure, and backed up. Cancel anytime.
05What does the monthly cover?
Hosting (from $20/mo) keeps the site online, secure, and backed up. Fuller care ($59/mo) adds ongoing edits and content updates. The $99/mo all-in bundles the build plus hosting and care with $0 down.
06Will we lose our search rankings?
No. Because we rebuild on the same domain and keep your page addresses mapped, your existing search presence carries over rather than resetting — then improves, since the new pages are faster, mobile-first, and structured for what you fabricate.

Sec 10
The design system.
Chosen for an eight-decade fabricator: the language of the shop floor — graphite steel, weld-amber, and a modern steel-blue nod to your legacy — set on an engineered, measured grid. Not a template.
Wayne MetalsContract Fabrication · Est. 1945 · Markle, IN
Your Wayne Metals mark, carried forward. The redesign is built around your existing identity — your gold-and-blue WM logo on a modern graphite-and-steel system tuned for the shop floor — not a rebrand. Refining the mark itself is a separate conversation, only if you ever want it.
