Logistics website design that turns shipper visits into quote requests
We design websites for 3PL, warehousing, freight forwarding and trucking companies as part of the sales process. The site answers what a shipper checks before asking for a quote, and the quote form asks exactly what your sales team needs to price the job.

What shippers check before they ask a 3PL for a quote
Location
Where your warehouses are and which markets you reach.
Price
What storage, pick-and-pack and shipping cost, at least as a starting range.
Timelines
How fast you receive goods and ship orders.
Integrations
Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce and your WMS.
Experience in their industry
The most important of the five. Do you already handle goods like theirs?
Where logistics websites lose quote requests
A form that asks the wrong things, or too many
A slow site
No clear path to a request
Prices hidden like a secret, or a price list nobody can read
An unclear service area
Pages about the company instead of the shipper’s needs
What goes on a 3PL website we build
A quote form that prices the job
Orders a month, SKUs, pallets, product type, storage, packaging, labels, inserts. Only the fields you need.
Prices in the open, or a calculator
Shippers compare by price; calculators have always worked well for our clients.
First steps shown
What happens first and how long receiving takes. If you offer a free move to your warehouse, say it up front.
The whole chain
The retail chains and marketplaces you serve, how you deliver, your addresses.
A page per facility and per service
Specs, capacity and photos for each facility.
Reply speed
A reply in minutes, because shippers compare you with the other tabs in their browser. Silmar promises a cost estimate in 15 minutes, and keeps that promise.
Integrations and proof
WMS, TMS and CRM connections, certifications, facility photos and case studies where buyers look.
Freight forwarders, customs brokers and trucking companies
A carrier sells something different: lanes, equipment, consolidated loads and delivery. Their sites lead with lanes and equipment, add a tracking link and a quote form, and keep carrier setup off the shipper’s path. For customs brokers and forwarders, each service (clearance, forwarding, cross-border) gets its own page with a phone number and a short form. Logistic Declarant went from no brand to a live site and ads in five weeks.
Logistics websites we’ve built

How a logistics website project runs
1. Discovery

3. Build and content
From your material and your sales team’s answers.
4. Launch
Redirects, analytics, form and call tracking, an admin walkthrough. Ads can test the offer from day one.
Prepayment per stage.
Stop after any stage and keep the work you paid for.

You ask,
we answer
- How much does a logistics website cost?
A five-page site built around one main service and its quote form starts at $3,800. Larger custom sites are scoped after Discovery, with the price fixed in writing before you pay.
- How long does a 3PL website take?
3–4 weeks for a five-page site; a larger custom site takes 8–10 weeks.
- Do you build quote calculators?
Yes. A calculator or a clear price range on the site gets more requests than «contact us for pricing».
- Can you connect our WMS, Shopify or Amazon?
We show your integrations on the site and connect the quote form to your CRM. Deeper WMS integrations are scoped in Discovery.
- Do you also run SEO and Google Ads for 3PLs?
Yes. See 3PL marketing agency.
