Web design for gilders

Real gold leaf never tarnishes. Imitation leaf does, within a few years, and the customer should know which they are buying.

The buyer who finds you has a drawing on the desk and very little time. They search by process, material and capacity — and decide in two minutes whether to send an enquiry or move on to the next supplier.

Trust here is earned with numbers, not adjectives: tolerances, machine list, certifications, the batch sizes you normally run. Publish them and you get taken seriously; write "quality and experience" and you get skipped.

The enquiry worth having arrives with a file attached. If the site cannot take a drawing, a spec sheet or a photo of the part on the bench, the buyer sends it to somebody who can, and the quote gets written somewhere else.

Show the workshop as it is. Real photographs of the machines, the bay and a finished part say more about capacity than any list, and they are what convinces a buyer who has been sent glossy renders by everyone else.

A social profile is no longer enough: your customer wants to get informed, see prices and decide without waiting for replies. Your own website gives you that control and professionalism, and we design it so customers request gilding and restoration.

What matters about your website isn't that it's pretty, but that it works: that's why we integrate online enquiries and quotes, gilding and restoration and craftsmanship and heritage, so every visit has something clear to do and ends up a customer.

Your website will load fast, look flawless on any phone and be easy to edit. We take care of the design, photos and copy so your gilding workshop projects the professional image it deserves.

We position you where your customers are: on the first page of Google and on the map, for searches for your gilding workshop in your area. Local SEO done well today is what fills your calendar tomorrow.

In brief: web design for gilders

  • Enough contrast, readable sizes and clean structure help older customers as much as they help Google.
  • Perfect on a phone: that is where gilders get found, and where the decision is made.
  • Design that earns trust: for gilders the first impression happens online.
  • A shop can be added later without rebuilding: plenty of gilders take that route two years on.

⚙️ Not just a website, a tool

You own it and you run it. Texts, prices and photos change from a panel, without depending on anyone and without waiting.

What your website includes

Genuine leaf or imitation

Cost, life, and where each belongs.

Water gilding and oil gilding

Burnished brilliance against durability.

Regild, or clean and repair

The cheaper answer, said honestly.

Gilding outdoors

Weathervanes, lettering, railings.

How we work with gilders, step by step

  1. 1

    We look at your business

    We go over how gilders actually work, what you sell and who you compete with locally.

  2. 2

    Structure and content

    We decide which questions the page answers up front: price range, how it works, hours, parking.

  3. 3

    Design and build

    We set type, contrast and sizes so the site still reads in bright sun and at sixty.

  4. 4

    Launch and Google

    We redirect the old addresses properly, so nothing that already ranks is thrown away.

  5. 5

    Handed over working

    We hand over the access to your Google profile and the analytics, not just the website.

Frequently asked questions about web design for gilders

Is it real gold? +

Genuine leaf stays bright indefinitely while imitation oxidises and dulls, and the price difference is smaller than people assume once labour is counted. On anything kept, the real thing is the economy.

What are the two methods? +

Water gilding can be burnished to a mirror brilliance but is delicate, while oil gilding is more robust and matt. The piece and its position decide, not preference.

Does it all need redoing? +

Cleaning, consolidating and touching in against a full regild, with what each costs. Owners expect the expensive answer and are relieved by the honest one.

Will it last outside? +

Exterior gilding on weathervanes, lettering and ironwork, the leaf weight used and realistic life. Done properly it outlives paint by decades.

Do we have to publish prices? +

No, and in this sector it rarely helps. A minimum order, usual lead times and the materials you work with filter enquiries just as well.

Can customers upload a drawing? +

Yes. A form that takes the drawing in PDF or CAD and asks for quantity and material saves the four emails that usually follow.

Can technical datasheets be kept behind a login? +

Behind a form or a client password. What brings visitors stays public; what gets negotiated does not.

Can we keep the site out of search until it is ready? +

Yes, and we do it by default while it is being built. What matters is remembering to switch it back on at launch: a site left blocked ranks for nothing, and it is the most common own goal in this business.

How many revisions are included? +

Two rounds before launch, and the small fixes afterwards without counting. What is not included is redesigning it twice, and we say so before starting.

Can you keep my current domain? +

Yes, and we prefer it. Losing a domain that has been printed on vans and business cards costs more than any redesign gains.

Do you need my logo files? +

If they exist, yes. If they do not, we work with what there is and tell you honestly when the logo is holding the rest back.

Will the site be fast on a bad connection? +

That is a build decision, not an add-on. Compressed images and no unnecessary scripts matter most exactly where coverage is worst.
