Building a Trusted Name in Heavy Equipment
Forge Attachments, a division of Forge, LLC, emerged as a bold new player in the heavy equipment industry. Designed to meet the evolving needs of its customers, Forge Equipment became the cornerstone of this venture, blending an online platform with a physical presence to create a comprehensive solution. Whether shopping online or visiting their location, customers could access products for skid steers, excavators, and other heavy equipment. But Forge was about more than just sales; it was a philosophy rooted in trust, expertise, and a commitment to moving the industry forward.
Forge aimed to create a space where hardworking professionals could find vetted, no-nonsense products and expert advice. This ethos drove the company to deliver professional-grade solutions that prioritized customer success over commissions. Forge sought to be more than a supplier; they envisioned becoming a trusted partner.
To establish itself as an industry leader, Forge Attachments needed a powerful digital presence. Their goals were ambitious: to create a bold, dynamic e-commerce website that would serve as a trusted resource for their customers while showcasing their expertise and dedication to quality. This platform needed to resonate with a wide audience, from local businesses to a growing national customer base, delivering an unparalleled online experience that reflected Forge’s values and aspirations.
The Forge Attachments project required a holistic approach to digital design and development. Every element of the website was meticulously crafted to align with Forge’s bold and straightforward ethos.
Brand Identity: Strength in Simplicity We built a cohesive visual identity for Forge, using a bold palette of yellows, blacks, and grays inspired by the heat and intensity of a forge. The logo’s clean lines and dynamic angles extended seamlessly into the website’s design, creating a visual language that was tough, reliable, and instantly recognizable.
Architecting the Customer Journey Understanding the needs of Forge’s audience was key to designing an intuitive and efficient user experience. We structured the site’s navigation to guide users effortlessly, whether they were searching for specific products or exploring solutions. Each page was carefully arranged to ensure clarity and ease of use, with a strong emphasis on functionality.
A Dynamic Design for a No-Nonsense Brand The website’s visual design reflected Forge’s ethos of dependability and grit. Authentic imagery showcased real professionals in action, connecting the brand to its hardworking audience. Tough, angular design elements reinforced the brand’s strength and authenticity, while the bold color palette added a dynamic and professional touch.

Custom features, including advanced product filtering and a streamlined checkout process, ensured customers could find and purchase products with ease. Additionally, the website met WCAG AA 2.1 standards for accessibility, ensuring inclusivity for all users.
