Our Recent New Bedford Web Design Projects

Custom Machine Design & Precision Automation

Atlantic Drives & Controls Inc.

Bridging heavy industry with cutting-edge technology right in New Bedford...
Atlantic Drives & Controls is a New Bedford industrial automation firm and precision machine shop — exactly the kind of specialized manufacturer that’s difficult to represent online.

We built them a website that clearly explains complex services like custom machine design, control-panel integration, and precision machining, structured so the right B2B buyers can find them and understand what they do. Proof that strong local web design works just as well for the SouthCoast’s industrial base as it does for Main Street.

A Hub for Local & Contemporary Expression

New Bedford Art Museum

The New Bedford Art Museum needed a website as dynamic as its exhibitions—one that could showcase rotating shows, sell tickets, drive memberships, and keep a busy events calendar current.

We built them a WordPress site that puts exhibitions and programming front and center, integrates their ticketing and membership tools, and lets the museum’s team update it on their own. It’s a working cultural hub online, not just a brochure.

"The Everything You Can Be Place"

YMCA Southcoast

More than just a fitness facility...

When the YMCA of Greater New Bedford needed a website that could serve a multi-location organization and thousands of local members, they came to Slocum Studio.

We built a fast, mobile-first WordPress site that makes it easy for New Bedford families to find programs, schedules, and membership information—and easy for staff to keep everything current across locations.

Industries We Serve in New Bedford

Nonprofits, Culture & Community

New Bedford’s nonprofits and cultural institutions live or die by online engagement — events, memberships, tickets, donations. We built the New Bedford Art Museum and the YMCA of Greater New Bedford sites that handle all of it: current calendars, integrated ticketing and membership, and pages staff can update themselves. The right website turns local interest into registrations, members, and donors.

Contractors & Home Services

New Bedford homeowners find contractors by searching “roofer near me,” “New Bedford remodeling,” or “emergency plumber New Bedford”—then checking reviews and photos before they call. A fast, mobile-first website plus a dialed-in Google Business Profile helps contractors show up in those urgent local searches and turn them into booked jobs.

Manufacturing & Marine Industry

New Bedford’s manufacturers, fabricators, and waterfront businesses are found by buyers searching for specific capabilities and B2B services — not by foot traffic. We built Atlantic Drives & Controls, a local industrial automation and machine-shop firm, a site that turns complex services into clear pages the right buyers can find. A well-structured website helps New Bedford manufacturers win RFQs and reach customers far beyond the SouthCoast.

Restaurants & Food Service

New Bedford diners search by craving— “seafood near me,” “lunch downtown New Bedford," and “best Portuguese restaurant”—and decide from maps, reviews, and photos. A strong local website and Google Business Profile help restaurants show up in those craving-based searches and convert views into orders and tables.

Retail & Professional Services

From Acushnet Avenue shops to law firms, healthcare practices, and trades, New Bedford businesses show up in local search and reviews. A mobile-friendly site with clear services and accurate listings helps you show up when nearby customers are ready to buy or book.
