JR Fabrications

JR Fabrications do structural steel fabrication and CNC plasma cutting out of Honylands Farm, just outside Colchester. The business was previously trading as Tatams Steelworks, and that name had no web presence of its own, so this site is the only thing connecting the two.

The brief was narrow and the site is deliberately small: three pages that explain what they do, show the work, and make it easy to get a quote. Anything more would have been noise.

A home page introducing the business, a services page covering fabrication and plasma cutting, and a contact page with a form that goes straight to their inbox.

Enquiries are the entire point of the site, so the contact form is the one piece of real interactivity - validated on the server, protected against spam, and delivering reliably enough that they do not need to check anything else.

Built with Next.js 16 and the App Router, React 19 and Tailwind CSS. Almost everything is a server component - only the contact form and the mobile navigation ship client-side JavaScript, so the pages arrive as close to plain HTML as the framework allows.

Form input is validated with Zod inside the server action, so malformed or malicious submissions are rejected no matter what the client sends. Cloudflare Turnstile keeps automated spam out without making a real customer solve a puzzle, and Resend handles delivery.
