Before & After: A Website and Brand Redesign for 3D Custom Welding
See how Exclusive Consulting gave 3D Custom Welding a stronger visual identity, clearer local positioning, and a modern website built to earn trust and generate quote requests.
3D Custom Welding has the kind of work people stop and look at: custom staircases, railings, gates, decks, and one-of-a-kind metal fabrication. The goal of this redesign was to make the company’s online presence feel as strong, detailed, and handcrafted as the work Rich Arnold delivers in person.
This was more than a color change. We rebuilt the presentation around the company’s craft, made the path to a quote easier to follow, and created a visual identity that feels at home on a welding truck, shop sign, social profile, or website.
The challenge: the craftsmanship was stronger than the online presentation
The original website provided the basic information a customer needed, but its bright template, oversized headline, and general presentation did not communicate the weight or character of custom metalwork. The business needed a more distinctive first impression and a clearer way to guide homeowners and contractors from interest to action.
Website transformation
From a generic service page to a brand experience built around the craft.
What changed on the website
- A sharper first message. Visitors can immediately see that 3D Custom Welding creates custom staircases, railings, decks, gates, and metal fabrication for homes and businesses.
- A visual system inspired by the work. Dark steel tones, copper-orange accents, industrial typography, and real project photography give the site a recognizable point of view.
- Clear quote paths. Calls to action appear in the header, hero, contact section, and service pages, with phone access kept visible for high-intent customers.
- Trust brought forward. Google reputation, Angi recognition, licensing and insurance, and experience are presented as visual proof instead of being buried in paragraphs.
- Local relevance. The site speaks directly to customers across Franklin, Nashville, Chattanooga, Northern Alabama, and surrounding service areas.
- Stronger project storytelling. Dedicated project pages turn completed work into proof while giving search engines more useful context about services and locations.
A logo that can carry the new brand
The original 3D mark was simple and direct, but it did not fully capture the artistic side of Rich’s work. Rich brings a jeweler’s attention to detail and the eye of an artist and sculptor to metal fabrication. The new direction needed to communicate that precision without losing the toughness customers expect from a welding company.
Brand transformation
A more ownable mark with the weight and detail of forged metal.
The circular badge gives the business a flexible brand asset that works at small sizes and across different surfaces. It can stand alone as a profile image, favicon, equipment decal, or shirt mark, then pair with the full 3D Custom Welding wordmark when more horizontal space is available.
Built for local visibility, not just a better first impression
A modern look helps earn attention, but a service-business website also needs structure. The redesigned site separates key services, service areas, recent projects, the company story, and contact information so customers and search engines can understand what the business does and where it works.
Location-focused pages and detailed project features create a stronger foundation for local SEO. They allow the business to answer specific searches with specific proof instead of asking one homepage to rank for every service and every city.
The next stage: turn the redesign into measurable growth
The redesign creates the foundation. The next step is ongoing SEO: publishing real projects, expanding service-area content, earning and responding to reviews, improving internal links, and measuring calls and quote requests. We will judge success using real search visibility and lead data rather than vague promises.
This is the kind of transformation Exclusive Consulting builds for service companies whose real-world work deserves a stronger online presence. If your website no longer reflects the quality of your business, we can help you bring the brand, content, and customer journey up to date.
