A resource hub for the teachers bringing laser technology into their classrooms — built for our friend Dan, and for the shop and STEM instructors doing the actual work.
The money question comes before the equipment question.
Talk to enough instructors and a pattern shows up: they know what they want in the room. What they don’t have is a way through the funding and purchasing process to get it there.
- Funding and purchasing get their own hub — grant paths, purchase orders and tax-exempt mechanics, written for a teacher who has never done it before. It’s the question that actually blocks classrooms, so it gets the front of the site.
- Vendor-neutral where it counts — the guidance on choosing, siting and running the equipment is written to be true regardless of whose machine ends up in the room. Educators can smell a brochure, and a brochure wouldn’t be useful to them anyway.
- Safety treated as curriculum — classroom safety is its own pillar rather than a disclaimer at the bottom of a page — because in a room full of students it’s the part that matters most.
- Fewer, better enquiries — a qualified enquiry form rather than a volume play. A handful of real schools with real projects beats a thousand form-fills nobody follows up.
The same bones
You’ll read this list on every build story. That’s deliberate — the architecture is the product.
- One house theme system — a shared parent theme with a light per-site child, so every fix strengthens every site.
- Native, editable blocks — owners maintain their own pages; nothing we ship breaks the editor.
- Forms-only contact — spam-filtered forms, never a printed email address.
- Real metrics only — one lightweight measurement rail; no vanity numbers.
- Search & answer-engine ready — clean structure, structured data, and instant indexing pings on every publish.
- Type that fits every screen — one fluid typography scale across the whole portfolio.
