Corporate site
Corporate website templates by intended reader
Some organisations neither sell items through a cart nor take quotations online. Their site presents evidence to a particular reader, and that reader determines the structure: a specifier checking a material, a procurement team reviewing a security page, a regulator reading a management plan, or a company considering membership. These templates are differentiated by that reader rather than by industry.
Manufacturers with a catalogue but no online ordering, professional firms, membership bodies, and companies whose sales are concluded in direct discussion rather than at a checkout.
Corporate sites
The templates are grouped by intended reader. A specifier: Ardesa Surfaces is a material catalogue structured for use in specifications. A procurement review: Coldspan publishes pricing tiers, a security page and a release log, which enterprise software procurement typically reviews in detail. A landowner or regulator: Greywether provides estates, compartments and management plans as content types, each with its own pages and downloads. A client choosing a professional firm: Marchbank Tully is organised around people and practice areas, with no booking system. Members and applicants: Slate Guild includes a public register, an events diary ordered automatically by date, and a numbered publications library.

- No product plugin is installed; the site has no cart or enquiry list.
- Each template has a dedicated content type for its core material: estates, publications, capabilities, practice areas or finishes.
- Each site typically has a single primary form as its main call to action.
- Date-based content, such as an events diary or a release log, updates automatically by date.
Pre-purchase questions
- Which type suits a company whose products are not sold online?
- The corporate type rather than an online store. Ardesa Surfaces covers this case: a catalogue structured for specification, with no checkout. Adding a cart that will not be used is not recommended.
- Can booking or a shop be added later?
- Yes. These templates run on the same theme and engine as the booking and store templates, so the components are shared and the difference is which plugin is activated. Starting from a store template only because online sales may be added later is not recommended.
