Enquiry site
B2B enquiry website templates
An enquiry site has a catalogue and no checkout. The buyer selects the items required, submits a single request, and receives a quotation from the sales team. What differs by trade is what the buyer selects: parts, process steps, grades for sampling, or a machine specification. This determines which details the enquiry form collects.
Manufacturers, contract suppliers and subcontractors whose prices depend on quantity, specification and lead time, and therefore cannot be listed as fixed prices.
Enquiry sites
The templates are grouped by what the visitor selects. A list of pieces: Alcove builds a contract furniture schedule, and each project page lists the pieces used. A process route: Fiducial lists operations rather than products, and the request carries the buyer’s own files. Samples for testing: Lapshear collects grades into a sample request, the usual first step in purchasing industrial materials. A machine specification: Straitline Laser is organised around specification tables and applications. A wholesale order sheet: Tindermoor is a trade catalogue with an enquiry step in place of a checkout.

- Every page leads to a single enquiry form, and each enquiry carries the selected specifications.
- Where prices are shown, they are marked as indicative ranges, as the final price depends on the request.
- The site has no cart or checkout.
- The catalogue and the case studies are cross-linked in both directions.
Pre-purchase questions
- How does this differ from a catalogue with a contact form?
- A standard contact form requires the buyer to describe the requirement in free text. These templates collect the selected items first and then ask only for the remaining details, so each enquiry arrives with the specification attached.
- Can prices be displayed?
- Yes, as price ranges, each marked as indicative. A range indicates the price level without committing to a figure that depends on quantity and lead time.
