Western Mass NTMA chapter
Industrial Marketing runs the website for a chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association serving Western Massachusetts: the build, the hosting and the care that keeps it working. The chapter's people run the chapter. We keep its website up, current and secure.
What a chapter site has to do
NTMA chapters bring together tool and die, mold, fixture and precision machining shops. A chapter site gets read by shop owners checking the next meeting, by people asking about training and careers in the trade, and by companies deciding whether to join.
Most chapters run on a few busy people and volunteers from member shops. Nobody there has time to chase plugin updates or an expired security certificate. We keep that side running, so the site stays current between meetings and nobody at the chapter has to think about hosting.
What we run for them
Two jobs, both ongoing.
-
Website build
The site the chapter runs on: its pages, its structure and the setup staff work in day to day.
-
Hosting and care
We host the site and maintain it: updates, backups and security, so it stays up, current and secure.

How association work connects
Running association sites keeps us close to how manufacturers here describe their work. What we learn about the trade goes into IKE, the Industrial Knowledge Engine behind all our work, so every page we write starts from how the trade really talks. What IKE learns is manufacturing. Member records stay theirs.
