# Blacksmith website examples: four designs for forges and architectural ironwork > MigrateLab builds high-performing websites for local businesses. Fixed price, live in 7 working days, fast on mobile, and yours to keep. Four finished websites for blacksmiths: the third-generation forge with every gate it has hung mapped by town, the sculptural studio that shows one commission from sketch to install, the heavy ironworks that shows how steel is forged by heat, and the railing shop with a price per foot calculator and site visit booking. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits. Forged gates, railings and balconies are bought by homeowners, architects and restoration committees who want to see finished work, understand the process and get a rough price before they call. Most forges have a Facebook page and a phone number, and the work that took months to make shows up as a handful of blurry photos. The four sites below sell ironwork four different ways. One sells a family forge and a lifetime of gates across the county. One sells design-led commissions with the full story of one piece. One sells heavy, bold ironwork and the craft of forging itself. One is a lead machine that prices railings by the foot and books a site measure. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your forge. ## The four designs ### A. Tolland Forge Ironwork (Heritage and trust) - Price: $1,520 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days - Who it suits: Family forges and architectural ironworkers with decades of local work behind them, who make gates and railings and restore the historic ironwork on old houses and churches. - Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites/tolland-forge - Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites?concept=tolland-forge#quote - The county map turns seventy years of work into proof a neighbour can check on their own street, which no gallery of close-ups can do - Starting prices for gates and railing per foot sit on the page, so enquiries arrive already sized to the budget - Restoration gets its own step-by-step section, which is what church committees and old-house owners need to see before they trust anyone with a listed gate ### B. Studio Kell Forged Metalwork (Premium design-led) - Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days - Who it suits: Sculptural and architectural metalwork studios that sell commissions to architects and interior designers, where one finished piece is the whole argument. - Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites/studio-kell - Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites?concept=studio-kell#quote - The one-commission story shows an architect exactly what the next eight months look like, which answers the questions that usually take three calls - Budget ranges and lead times are stated plainly, so enquiries arrive from people who have already accepted them - Gallery-like photography and very little copy let the work set the price, the way a design-led buyer expects ### C. Blackrod Iron Works (Bold and industrial) - Price: $1,920 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days - Who it suits: Architectural ironworks and heavy forges that build estate gates, structural balconies and large fire features, and want to look as big as the steel they move. - Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites/blackrod - Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites?concept=blackrod#quote - Real prices and lead times on the page filter out small-job enquiries before they reach the phone - The Read the heat slider turns the craft into something a buyer can play with, and it is why a forged gate costs what it does - Weights, sizes and weeks on every project show architects the shop can handle structural work, not just decoration ### D. RailRight Iron Railings (Lead machine) - Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days - Who it suits: Railing and gate fabricators who sell to homeowners and want a site that turns a price check into a booked site measure. - Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites/railright - Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites?concept=railright#quote - The calculator gives a real range with install included, so the visitor has a number before they ever pick up the phone - The site measure is booked on a date picker right under the estimate, while the price is still on screen - Every style shows its price per foot, and stairs and finishes are priced openly, which filters out the tyre kickers ## You get the design you pick, made into your own site Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you.

From us, $1,520 to $2,320 as a fixed, one-time price, depending on which of the four designs you pick, live in 7 working days. That includes the design rebuilt around your business, the copy, forms, search basics and connecting your domain. After launch you can edit it yourself for $0 a month or have us look after it for $63 a month. For comparison, agencies typically quote $3,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and builder subscriptions run $20 to $50 a month for as long as the site exists. ### Will my site look exactly like the demo? It keeps the same design, layout and structure, and the same special feature. Everything that is ours becomes yours: your name and logo, your brand colours, your photos, services, prices and contact details. Small changes, like borrowing a section from another design or leaving one out, are included in the fixed price. ### Who can build a website for my blacksmith? MigrateLab builds websites for blacksmith owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/blacksmith-websites, send your logo, photos and details, and we rebuild it around your business for a fixed $1,520 to $2,320, live in 7 working days. You own the site, there is no platform subscription, and you can edit it yourself or have us look after it. ### Can I get a blacksmith website without a monthly platform fee? Yes. A MigrateLab site is yours outright and runs on your own hosting for a few dollars a month, instead of a $20 to $50 monthly builder plan. You pay a one-time $1,520 to $2,320 for the build, and a care plan at $63 a month is optional if you want us to make changes for you. ### Are these real websites or just designs? Real. Each concept is a complete, responsive website you can click through on any device. The businesses are fictional so you can see the design with realistic content, but the code and layout are exactly what you would receive. ### Can customers get a rough price before they call? Yes. We can build a price calculator for railings by the foot or gates by width and style, set to your own rates. You get fewer tyre kickers and better qualified enquiries. ### I run everything from Instagram and word of mouth. Do I need a website? Most blacksmiths we talk to have been getting by on Facebook, Instagram or referrals. That works until someone searches for you by name, asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, or wants to see prices and availability before they get in touch. A site you own answers all of that, ranks in search, and does not disappear when a platform changes its rules. ### What happens after I pick one? You send your logo if you have one, photos, your services and prices, and how people book today. We rebuild the site around your business and send a private preview within a week. One round of changes, then it goes live on your domain. ### Will I be able to edit it myself? Yes. Text, photos, prices and availability are editable without touching code. Or pick the care plan and text or email us the change. ### What does it cost per month? Nothing to us unless you choose the care plan. Hosting under your own account is a few dollars a month. There is no platform subscription. Every company in the demos is a concept brand created by MigrateLab for illustration.
