Metal Fabrication Website Design: Our Goals and Challenges
Breck Ironworks™ is a metal fabrication shop that manufactures artisan fire pits – an interesting, one-of-a-kind product. The client’s old metal fabrication web design was so out of date that it was holding them back from attracting more business partners, as well as new regular customers.
Steps to Creating Future-Proof Metal Fabrication Websites
Websites for custom metal fabrication require strong visuals. First and foremost, we needed to choose a color palette that would reflect the brand without turning away the audience. We went for light, bright blues, and neutral grays – colors frequently used in client’s content.
Then we got to work on the hero image. The very first picture visitors see on a website should serve as the best representation of the company’s main products and services. We decided to use live photos of Breck Ironworks metal creations to demonstrate the product “in action” to site visitors. This made it possible to seamlessly incorporate the website into the client's brand identity and simultaneously enhance brand awareness.
Our next important goal was to improve site structure. Just like any other web projects, metal fabrication websites need to be well-organized. We made it easy to find out what products the client sells, how to buy them, how to get in touch, or become a partner.
Finally, we added links to the client’s social media accounts to allow users to quickly connect with Breck Ironworks across a variety of platforms.
