# Surfboard shaper website examples: four designs for custom board makers

> 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 surfboard shapers: the family shaper who has fitted boards to the same coast since the sixties, the design-led studio with a model library, the bold performance shaper for heavy water, and the order machine that turns height, weight and waves into a board spec. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits.

A custom board is ordered on trust in the shaper, and the order itself is a conversation: height, weight, ability, the waves you surf, the board you ride now. Most shapers run that conversation in DMs and at the shop counter, and the models, prices and turnaround live in their head or on a paper list taped to the wall.

The four sites below sell boards four different ways. One sells a family name and a lifetime on one coast. One sells design, with each model shown like a product in a catalogue. One sells performance boards for serious surfers and heavy waves. One is a lead machine that turns a surfer's details into a board spec and a price. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your bay.

## The four designs

### A. Penhallow Surfboards (Heritage and trust)

- Price: $1,520 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Family shapers who have fitted boards to the same stretch of coast for decades, and whose customers ride the local breaks more than anywhere else.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites/penhallow
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites?concept=penhallow#quote
- The break picker answers the question every surfer brings to the counter, "what should I ride at my spot", and ends on a model with a price
- Prices and the 6 to 8 week wait are on the page, so the first message is an order, not a question
- The order form asks for height, weight, the break and the board you ride now, which is everything Kit needs to quote

### B. Linnhe Shapes (Premium design-led)

- Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Design-led shapers and small board studios with a fixed catalogue of models, who sell on the shape itself and want each board shown like an object, not a product in a bin.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites/linnhe
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites?concept=linnhe#quote
- The overlay comparison answers the question every buyer asks at the counter, "how is this different from what I ride", without a single message
- Showing eight models at true scale on one wall makes the catalogue feel curated and deliberate, which justifies a price from $950
- Glassing, tints and the seven-week wait are priced and stated up front, so enquiries arrive with a model already chosen

### C. Riptooth Surf Co. (Bold and industrial)

- Price: $1,920 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Performance shapers who build step-ups, guns and slab boards for experienced surfers chasing big swell, and want a site that looks as serious as the waves their boards are ridden in.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites/riptooth
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites?concept=riptooth#quote
- The step-up calculator answers the first question every big-wave buyer has, how much longer and thicker, before they ever call
- Prices and the six week turnaround sit in the hero, so serious buyers know the numbers before the swell forecast lands
- The order form asks for the exact inputs a shaper needs, so the first conversation is about the board, not about collecting measurements

### D. Shapelist Custom Surfboards (Lead machine)

- Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Busy custom board shops that take orders by DM and at the counter, and want surfers to spec, price and reserve a board on their own.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites/shapelist
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-websites?concept=shapelist#quote
- The order wizard does the counter conversation on the site, so a surfer leaves with a spec, a price and a board number instead of an unanswered DM
- The live list and the "you would be board 23" line make the wait concrete, which is what gets the $200 deposit paid today
- Every model, fin setup and glass option carries a price, so nobody has to ask how much before ordering

## You get the design you pick, made into your own site

Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you. The structure, the sections and the special feature stay as you see them. Your name, logo, colours, photos and wording replace ours, so it looks like it was always yours, and no other business in your area gets the same site.

Stays as you see it in the demo:

- The layout and page structure, section by section
- The special feature, like the map, calculator or booking calendar
- How it looks and works on a phone, and how fast it loads
- Type and spacing tuned so it still looks designed

Becomes yours:

- Your business name and logo. No logo yet? We set your name in a clean wordmark
- Your brand colours, applied across buttons, headings and backgrounds
- Your photos, or licensed photos chosen for your trade
- Your services, prices, service area, team and reviews
- Your phone, email, address and domain

Want a section from another design, or one moved or left out? Put it in your notes. Small changes like that are included.

## What every price includes

- The design you picked, rebuilt around your name, colours, logo and photos
- Copy written for your services and your service area, not filler
- A simple editor for text, photos, services and reviews, no code needed
- Contact and quote forms wired to your inbox, tap-to-call on mobile
- Search basics done properly: titles, descriptions, local business schema, sitemap, fast load
- Your domain connected, your old site redirected if there is one
- One round of changes before launch, and 30 days of fixes after it

- **The order form.** Height, weight, ability, waves and current board, collected in one go.
- **Prices and turnaround.** Price per model, glassing options and how many weeks until pickup.
- **Fins and glassing.** Fin setups, glass weights, resin tints. Let buyers choose.
- **The shaper.** Where you learned, what you surf, who rides your boards.
- **Repairs.** If you fix dings, a price list and drop-off hours.
- **Stock boards.** Boards ready to ride today, with dimensions.
- **Fast on a phone.** Surfers check boards on their phones in the car park.

## Questions

### How much does a surfboard shaper website cost?

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 surfboard shaper?

MigrateLab builds websites for surfboard shaper owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/surfboard-shaper-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 surfboard shaper 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 surfers order a custom board through the site?

Yes. We build an order form that collects height, weight, ability, waves, fins and glassing, suggests a model and dimensions from your own rules, and takes a deposit if you want one.

### I run everything from Instagram and word of mouth. Do I need a website?

Most shapers we talk to have been getting by on Instagram and the shop counter. That works until someone searches for you by name, asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, or wants to see prices and the wait 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 builds and prices, and how people order 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, builds 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.
