Anvil is for plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and local trades whose website should look as serious as their work - not like the safety-orange-on-navy template every competitor uses. A dark charcoal canvas with one warm amber accent. Services are a numbered editorial list where hovering a row reveals the job photo - the number does the work an icon usually fakes. A real drag-to-reveal before/after slider, full-bleed crew photos, pull-quote reviews, and LocalBusiness structured data baked in. Two ways to capture the lead: a fast quote form and a contact form, plus a sticky call bar.
Best Fit For
- Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and handymen
- Roofers, landscapers, cleaners, and local services
- Small contractor crews and family trades
- Local service businesses that live on calls
- Anyone past the cookie-cutter trades look
Full Page Set
Every page is real and editable - no placeholders, no "coming soon" stubs.
16 Sections Included
Every section is a ready-to-use Astro component. Add it to any page, customize via config, or remove what you don't need.
What's Included
The Number Is the Icon
Anvil's services aren't an icon-card grid - they're a numbered editorial list (01, 02, 03…) over rule lines. Hover a row and a sticky job photo swaps in beside it. The number and the photo do the work, so the section reads like a real trade's portfolio, not a clip-art template.
Drag to See the Fix
A real before/after slider lets visitors drag to reveal the work, with per-item treatments - a yellow hue or black-and-white on the 'before' side - that dramatize the transformation. It's the proof a trades site lives or dies on, done as an interaction instead of two photos side by side.
Built to Get the Call
Anvil captures the lead three ways: a fast quote form with a service selector, a full contact form, and a sticky blurred call bar with a 24/7 indicator. LocalBusiness JSON-LD pulls your name, phone, hours, and service area straight from config so local search has what it needs.
