Spira Manufacturing Website Architecture v1 draft

San Fernando, California November 2026 84 Pages | 12 Hub | 67 Detail | 5 Utility For team review

Nothing here is approved yet. The structure follows the Positioning Strategy v1 and the StoryBrand Framework draft v2, both dated November 11, 2026, and gives every page on today’s site a destination. Where the two documents disagree, this draft makes a recommendation and lists it under Decisions.

Site Hierarchy

The menu follows how Spira’s buyers arrive. Products comes first because about three-quarters of the business is repeat, and those buyers reorder by name. Industries tells a new engineer that people like them already use this. Solutions is the door for the engineer who knows where the box leaks but not what the parts are called. EMI 101 teaches the ones who want to learn. About carries the authority. Two buttons ride on every page: Talk to an EMI engineer, and Request a sample.

Key Differentiator

Why the Spiral

The technology page, and the page that owns the phrase “spiral EMI gasket”. Four claims, each with its proof: the same every time · lasts the life of the system · shields and seals in one part · nothing to break off. A compression demo sits beside a gasket that stays flat. It says what the spiral does and never how it is made. Zach reviews it before it publishes.

Product URLs stay flat (/products/spira-shield), so a product can change family without a redirect while the family names are still open. Every product page opens with “choose this when”, puts the key specifications first, and offers CAD files, a sample and the papers behind it. Each page stands on its own, because Fran pulls them up on sales calls.

Design System & Media

BrandNew logo, icon and guide in progress. Visual design waits on the brand lock
TypographyWeb-licensed face, set with the brand guide
Hero mediaWelded-box animation: homepage, booth and Lesson 1
DiagramsLeak-point enclosure · the plan · compression demo
PhotographyReal engineers and the real plant. No stock
Product imagesOn white, one angle, plus one in-application image per family
DataOne chart per claim, test condition printed beneath

Each form keeps its own confirmation state so engineer, sample, quote and plan-ahead requests are counted separately, with semiconductor tracked against the 50% goal. This document uses the current site’s colors until the new brand is set.
