Reforge - Industrial Container Home Landing Page Template

Quick summary

Reforge is a single-page, split-screen landing page template designed for container home builders and renovation companies. It combines a live cost estimator, draggable before-and-after sliders, and a multi-step lead capture form into one structured, conversion-focused flow. The layout is bold, grounded, and built for buyers who want real numbers before they pick up the phone.

Who this template is for

This template is built for businesses that convert shipping containers into livable spaces. It speaks directly to the people closing those deals and the clients they serve.

• Container home builders and renovation companies marketing to real estate investors
• Homeowners researching accessory dwelling units, commonly called ADUs, for backyard placement
• Land developers turning vacant lots into container micro-communities or rental unit clusters

What problem this template solves

Most container home companies lose leads because visitors can not picture the cost or timeline upfront. A generic page with contact forms does not close that gap. Reforge solves it by giving visitors a tool to explore their own project before asking them to commit.

• Visitors leave without converting because price uncertainty feels too high to act
• Real estate investors need ROI data, not just lifestyle photography, to move forward
• Homeowners and developers need a clear, stepped path from curiosity to a real inquiry

What you get with this template

You get a fully structured, single-page layout with purpose-built sections for each stage of the buyer journey. Every block is designed to move a visitor from browsing to booking.

• A header estimator with three interactive sliders for container size, finish level, and site preparation
• Draggable before-and-after project reveal sliders with buy price, renovation cost, and return figures
• A sticky bottom call-to-action bar and a three-step lead capture form for qualified inquiries

Feature list

This template ships with a focused set of components, each designed around a specific job in the sales funnel.

Live Cost Estimator with Three Sliders

The header section features a split viewport. The left side shows a raw, corroded 40-foot container. The right side displays a live estimator with sliders for container size (20-foot, 40-foot, or dual-stacked), finish level (shell-ready, turnkey studio, or full residential), and site preparation (flat pad, foundation, or utility hookup). Estimated project cost and timeline update as sliders move, with the container-orange accent pulsing on the total figure.

Draggable Before-and-After Project Sliders

Each completed project is presented as a draggable split-screen reveal. The left side shows the raw container as purchased, complete with rust streaks, dents, and faded shipping logos. The right side reveals the finished interior, including shiplap walls, butcher-block counters, and pendant lighting. Projects escalate in scope from a simple studio conversion to a stacked two-story unit to a full four-container compound.

Project ROI Cards with Orange Numerals

Each project card displays the buy price, renovation cost, and current rental income or appraised value. All financial figures are rendered in container-orange to draw immediate attention. These numbers give investors the context they need to evaluate a project without leaving the page.

Sticky Bottom Call-to-Action Bar

After the header scroll, a persistent call-to-action bar locks to the bottom of the viewport. It reads "Estimate My Build" and is styled in container-orange on foundation gray. This keeps the primary conversion action visible throughout the entire page scroll without interrupting the reading flow.

Three-Step Lead Capture Form

Clicking the primary call-to-action opens a stepped form. Step one collects project type: personal home, rental unit, ADU, or commercial. Step two asks for property zip code and lot condition. Step three captures budget range and preferred timeline. The stepped structure reduces friction by breaking the form into small, manageable decisions.

Mid-Page Email Capture Link

A secondary conversion path sits mid-page as a quieter text link that reads "Download Our Container Buying Checklist." This captures email addresses for nurture without interrupting the primary conversion flow. It serves visitors who are not yet ready to start a project but want to stay informed.

Page sections overview

Design & branding system

The visual identity follows a Corporate Precision theme built on a Warm Stone color system. The palette feels like a construction site at golden hour, with raw materials that carry warmth rather than coldness.

• Core colors include quarried sandstone (#C4A882), kiln-dried timber (#8B6F47), poured foundation gray (#3D3D3D), and container-orange (#D4652A) reserved for calls to action, sliders, and cost figures
• Backgrounds alternate between foundation gray and a warm off-white (#F5F0E8) that reads like architectural drafting paper, with body text in deep charcoal (#1E1E1E)
• The overall design tone is industrial bones made warm, precise enough to signal professionalism and tactile enough to feel like a real construction business

Mobile & speed optimization

The split-screen layout is structured to adapt across screen sizes without losing the before-and-after impact that drives engagement. Every interactive element is designed with touch interaction in mind.

• The 50/50 split viewport stacks vertically on smaller screens, keeping both the estimator and the container image accessible without horizontal scrolling
• Draggable before-and-after sliders are built to respond to touch swipe gestures on mobile devices
• The sticky call-to-action bar remains anchored at the bottom of the viewport on mobile, keeping the lead form one tap away at all times

How this template helps you convert

The page is engineered around a single insight: visitors convert when they feel informed, not pressured. Every section moves a visitor one step closer to submitting their details.

1. The live estimator in the header creates immediate personal investment. By the time a visitor has adjusted sliders and seen their estimated project cost, the lead form feels like the logical next step rather than a cold ask.
2. The escalating before-and-after project reveals build credibility progressively. Each project shows harder numbers and a more ambitious transformation, turning skepticism into confidence as the visitor scrolls.
3. The three-step form reduces drop-off by breaking the inquiry into small decisions. Combined with the mid-page email capture link, the page offers two conversion paths suited to buyers at different stages of readiness.
