Engineering website example: Cascade Civil Engineering

Sample site built by our AI, not a customer site. Cascade Civil Engineering is a made-up business; our AI wrote every section, from the headline to the 4-question FAQ. Licensed civil engineering in Portland Oregon. Site development, grading, stormwater, utility design and permit support for builders, developers and municipalities.

What makes this engineering website work

The first line answers "why you"

The first thing a visitor reads is "Drawings that clear plan review", with "Civil design since 2006" set above it as a small label. The line underneath does the explaining: "Site civil, grading, stormwater and utility design for residential, commercial and public projects. We know how each jurisdiction in the metro reviews a set, and we design to that from day one." Two buttons follow, "Start a project" for people ready to act and "See our work" for people who want to look around first. The layout is a split hero, copy on one side and footage on the other, using looping stock footage instead of a static photo.

Proof sits right under the fold

Directly below the hero, a strip of 4 short facts does the job most engineering sites leave to vague words like "trusted" or "experienced": 19 yrs (in practice), 640+ (projects permitted), 11 (licensed engineers) and 3 wks (typical concept turnaround). Each one is something a customer can check or hold the business to.

Prices on the page, not "call for a quote"

The "From feasibility through construction support" section lists 6 engineering services: Site feasibility study (From $4,500), Grading and drainage design (From $9,000), Stormwater management design (From $7,500), Utility and franchise coordination (From $6,000), Permit and plan review support (Hourly, $185/hr) and Construction administration (Quoted per project). Prices run from $185 to $9,000, so a visitor can tell in seconds whether it fits the budget. A one-line note sets the terms: "Most work is fixed fee by phase once the scope is defined." Each item gets a sentence of its own, for example "Yield, access, utility capacity and constraints before you commit to a purchase."

It explains who is behind it

Under the heading "Small firm, principal on every project", the about section says: "Cascade was founded by two engineers who left large firms because clients kept getting handed to whoever had capacity. Here a licensed principal stays on your project from feasibility to final walk." It then lists 3 concrete points instead of a paragraph of values: professional engineers licensed in Oregon and Washington, a principal engineer assigned for the life of the project and plan review comments answered within five business days.

Reviews name the detail

There are 2 reviews, each signed with a name and a context (Erin S., Multifamily developer; Tom V., General contractor, Clackamas). None of them says "great service". They mention a specific moment, like "Two rounds of comments and we were approved. Our last engineer took six."

The FAQ handles objections

The FAQ covers 4 questions: "When should I bring an engineer in?", "How long does a full site civil package take?", "Do you handle the permit submittal?" and "Do you work with architects already on the project?". The answers are direct. The first one reads: "Before you close on the land if you can. A feasibility study costs a fraction of a design package and regularly changes what a site is worth, because access, slope and stormwater capacity decide how many units you can actually build."

The last step is obvious

The page closes on "Talk through your site". It sets expectations before anyone gets in touch: "Send the parcel number and what you want to build. We will tell you the likely constraints on a call before anyone signs anything." Hours are written out (Mon to Fri 7:30am to 5:30pm) and so is the area covered (Portland metro, Clackamas, Washington and Clark counties). The phone number also sits in the header on every scroll position, so nobody has to hunt for it.

The design stays out of the way

The palette is three colors: a #f4f5f7 background, #101418 text and one accent (#0b7285) used only for buttons and labels. Headings are set in a sans-serif face and buttons have 8px rounded corners. The menu has 6 items (Services, Pricing, About, Reviews, FAQ and Contact), all on one page, so it scrolls instead of making people click through.

Every service and price, as the site lists it

  • Site feasibility study (From $4,500): Yield, access, utility capacity and constraints before you commit to a purchase.
  • Grading and drainage design (From $9,000): Earthwork balance, spot elevations and drainage that works with the site you actually have.
  • Stormwater management design (From $7,500): Detention, water quality facilities and reports sized to current jurisdiction manuals.
  • Utility and franchise coordination (From $6,000): Water, sanitary and storm design plus coordination with the dry utility providers.
  • Permit and plan review support (Hourly, $185/hr): We answer review comments and resubmit until the set is approved.
  • Construction administration (Quoted per project): Site visits, RFI responses and as built review while the job is being built.

Questions its FAQ answers

  • When should I bring an engineer in?
  • How long does a full site civil package take?
  • Do you handle the permit submittal?
  • Do you work with architects already on the project?

This page is for inspiration: one real example, taken apart. For the pages a engineering site needs, what it costs and what the builder can and cannot do, see the engineering website builder page.

Free plan: up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address, with no AI and no custom domain. AI building, like this example, starts at $20/mo, and custom domains are on paid plans. The AI builds request and contact forms; payments go through your own Stripe account.
