Xometry

Xometry is a leader in on-demand manufacturing, specializing in high-precision production parts and prototyping.

Client

As an AI-powered digital platform, the company connects businesses and engineers with a global network of suppliers to produce custom components efficiently. With its proprietary instant quoting technology, users can upload designs, receive real-time pricing and lead times, and access a full range of manufacturing services – from prototyping to large-scale production.

Goal

Xometry already had an existing website built on a third-party WordPress theme, but its capabilities proved too limited for their evolving needs. The client approached us for our expertise in custom WordPress development, backed by over eight years of hands-on experience with similar projects. While they wanted to retain WordPress as the foundation, the goal was to introduce greater flexibility in functionality – particularly to support extensive and user-friendly content management.

Another key challenge was the implementation of multilingual functionality, with support for more than eight languages. This added complexity made the project especially engaging and rewarding to work on.

THE SOLUTION

We built a fully custom WordPress theme from scratch, powered by our go-to content editing tool: Advanced Custom Fields Pro.

We developed a set of templates for individual pages and created a custom builder using the Flexible Content feature. This gave the client a library of content blocks that could be easily rearranged and populated with text and images. Repeater fields were used extensively throughout to manage repetitive sections efficiently. The admin panel was designed to be as intuitive as possible, ensuring the Xometry team could manage content seamlessly, without any technical hurdles.

DESIGN & LOCALIZATION

For the design phase, we used the existing website as a foundation, building upon it by introducing new pages and content blocks based on the provided visual guidelines. Selected sections were refreshed, while entirely new interfaces were created for the Materials section and the blog.

To support multilingual functionality, we implemented WPML and customized the plugin to align with the design requirements and specific backend features.

The result is a fast, flexible, and highly optimized website. At this stage, only minimal technical support is required from our side, while the client is fully equipped to create and customize content blocks independently.
