Barrhead Machine & Welding Ltd.
Website redesign and Microsoft 365 email migration for a 75-year-old welding and fabrication company in Barrhead, Alberta. We modernized their digital presence and set up a professional email infrastructure for the new ownership team.
A 75-year-old welding and fabrication company under new ownership needed a digital presence that matched their legacy. See how we redesigned their website and migrated their business email to Microsoft 365.
Barrhead Machine & Welding has been a trusted name in Alberta’s welding and fabrication industry since 1948. Serving the oil field, construction, forestry, and agriculture sectors, the company offers a comprehensive range of services including CNC machining, steel fabrication, mobile welding, hydraulic cylinder repairs, 3D modeling, and engineering design.
In 2023, the business came under new ownership. With fresh leadership and a renewed vision, they needed a digital presence that reflected their credibility, communicated their full range of services, and supported their day-to-day operations with a reliable professional email setup.
The Challenge
Despite 75+ years of industry reputation, Barrhead Machine & Welding’s digital setup had not kept pace with their growth or the change in ownership. Key challenges included:
• An outdated website that didn’t represent the company’s capabilities or professionalism
• No clear service structure to help visitors understand the full scope of work offered
• Business emails not set up on a professional, reliable platform
• The new ownership needed a clean digital foundation to grow from
Our Strategy
