Website Design for Marine Metalwork & Fabrication Companies — Côte d'Azur | Lautryv

Marine web design · Côte d'Azur

Your craft is flawless.
Your online presence
is invisible.

You fabricate custom hardware for vessels worth tens of millions. The captains and project managers commissioning that work search online first — and right now, they cannot find you.

Marine industry focus —
not general web design

The real cost of no website

The contract that went
to the other yard

You know how it goes. A superyacht project manager is sourcing fabricators for a Mediterranean refit. They ask around, get three names including yours. They look up all three online. Two have websites with portfolio photos, certifications listed, a direct contact. You have nothing.

They do not call you. Not because your work is worse — because it is invisible. In a market where contracts are serious and reputations are everything, the businesses that show up online are the ones that get shortlisted.

This is not about having a beautiful website. It is about being findable when it matters — by the right people, at the right moment.

Same fabricator. Two outcomes.
Without a website

A Viareggio refit project manager searches "stainless fabrication Antibes." Your name does not appear. They find two competitors and shortlist from what they can see. You never get the call.

With the right website

Same search. Your site appears. They see your past work — custom handrails, deck hardware, inox welding on 40m+ vessels. Your certifications. A direct email. You are shortlisted before they have spoken to anyone.

Who we work with

Built for the people
who build things

If you work in stainless steel, aluminium, or composite fabrication for the superyacht market on the Côte d'Azur — whether a one-man operation or a specialist workshop — this is for you.

Inox & stainless specialists

Custom handrails, cleats, deck fittings, exhaust systems. Exceptional craftsmanship. Zero visibility online.

Marine welding workshops

Structural and decorative welding for superyachts and motor yachts. Working across Antibes, Cannes, La Ciotat, and Monaco ports.

Aluminium fabricators

Superstructure work, custom enclosures, tender garages, swim platforms. Built for performance and aesthetics.

Refit subcontractors

You work through yards and project managers. A website lets them refer you confidently and lets new clients find you independently.

The gap is real —
and it is your opportunity

67%
of marine metalwork & fabrication companies on the French Riviera have no website
278
total yachting suppliers across France, Monaco & Italy with no web presence

We mapped 759 yachting industry businesses across France, Monaco, and Italy for a 2026 directory study. The metalwork and fabrication category had the highest proportion of businesses with zero online presence — higher than provisioners, higher than crew agencies, higher than riggers.

The pattern is consistent: the more technical the craft, the less likely the business is to have invested in its digital presence. These are operations run by people who got into this industry to work with their hands, not to manage websites.

That is exactly why a specialist matters. A generic web agency gives you a template with stock photos of boats. We give you a site that speaks the language of the people commissioning your work — project managers, refit coordinators, captains — who know the difference between MIG and TIG and expect you to as well.

The businesses that move first in this category will own the search results for the next several years. Right now, those results are almost entirely empty.

Deliverables

What we actually
build for you

Not a template. A purpose-built site designed to convert the specific people who commission marine metalwork on the French Riviera.

01

Portfolio that sells

Project galleries structured for how captains and project managers evaluate fabricators — vessel type, scope, materials, finish quality. Not a generic slideshow.

02

SEO for port searches

Optimised for the exact searches your clients make: "inox fabrication Antibes," "stainless welding Cannes," "marine metalwork Côte d'Azur." Geotargeted, technically correct.

03

Certifications & capacity

Your certifications, materials, vessel size range, and turnaround times — presented clearly so a project manager can qualify you in 30 seconds.

04

French & English

The Riviera market is bilingual. Your site works in both languages with correct maritime vocabulary — not run through a translator.

05

Direct contact

In this industry, people do not fill in long forms. We design for how marine professionals actually get in touch — fast, direct, mobile-friendly.

06

Google Business & Maps

We set up and optimise your Google Business profile so you appear in port-area map searches — the ones that happen on a phone dockside.

Why it matters who builds it

A generic agency
will get this wrong

Generic web agency
Uses "marine" stock photos that no one in the industry recognises
Writes copy that says "quality craftsmanship" without knowing what a swim platform refit involves
Targets keywords like "boat repairs" — not how project managers actually search
No idea that Port Vauban, La Ciotat, and Port Hercule are completely different markets
Delivers a template you have to maintain yourself with no ongoing support
Lautryv
Based in Saint-Laurent-du-Var. Clients in Port Vauban, Monaco, La Ciotat. We know these ports.
Copy written with correct maritime terminology in French and English — the vocabulary your clients use
SEO strategy built from real industry data — we mapped 759 businesses in this sector
We understand the difference between a yard subcontractor and an independent workshop
Active client in the Riviera yachting industry — marine is our specialism, not a side service
