Bollard
A website template for a freight forwarder offering ocean, air and road freight
Most forwarder sites make a shipper click twice, fill a long form and wait. Bollard puts a four-question rate form in the hero, the desk's phone number in the header, and answers the questions procurement asks before it ever calls: where you ship, how long it takes, how often it leaves, and what happens at customs.

About This Template
Built to win the quote, not just to look the part
Lanes and transit times, in the open
The home page shows a lane board — destination, ocean and air transit, departure frequency — under a route map whose hubs are a list of names and coordinates. Changing a port is editing a row; changing a transit time is editing a table cell.
A process a buyer can follow
A four-step timeline shows exactly what happens after the quote, and a FAQ covers customs, insurance, FCL vs LCL and dangerous goods — the objections that otherwise cost a phone call.
Nine services, one template
Every service shares one detail layout — what's included, key trade lanes, a closing call to action — so adding a tenth is filling in a form, not building a page.
When to pick something else
Bollard is the wrong template for these. Where there is a better one, it is linked.
- Industrial services group selling several named divisions and accreditations — try Foundry
- Local removals or moving company selling to households — try Mainstay
- General contractor whose proof is finished projects — try Ironclad
- E-commerce shop that ships products — try Stockroom or Counter
- SaaS logistics or tracking software product — try Nimbus or Reed

Key Highlights
Questions about Bollard
Can I change how Bollard looks?
All of it. Colours, type, spacing, photographs and every word are yours to edit — in the visual editor, or by asking an AI agent to do it for you. Nothing is locked.
Do I need to know how to code to use Bollard?
No. You edit the page by clicking the thing you want to change. There is no code to write and nothing to install.
Can I add more service entries later?
Yes — that is what the service collection is for. Adding one from the editor creates its own page at /services/ and updates the index automatically. You are not editing a list by hand.
What does Bollard cost?
Nothing to start, and there is no trial clock. A free site runs on a sitelas.com address; Pro is $9 a month per site when you want your own domain, analytics and more room.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Point your domain at the site and SSL is issued automatically — there is no certificate to buy or renew.

Flagship
A full-width section-stack layout with alternating backgrounds, numbered service list, staggered project grid, and bold typographic hero. The classic modern agency pattern.
Foundry
Utilitarian-trustworthy industrial services GROUP template — an umbrella brand over N specialist divisions. Harlan Industrial Group persona. Deep petrol green + hi-vis lime, Oswald condensed on IBM Plex Sans with IBM Plex Mono spec codes. The signature structure is a collection-driven DIVISION REGISTER: full-width numbered rows (petrol code chip, division name, one-line tagline, sector pills, arrow) that scale from 3 divisions to 12 with zero structural edits and no per-division photography. Certifications are a first-class section, not an afterthought. Multi-page (Home / Divisions / Group / Contact) plus a per-division detail page at /divisions/<slug>.
Gable
Residential renovation contractor template. Spectral contemporary slab-serif display + Inter body, cool slate blue with oxidized rust accent on warm bone — craftsmanship-forward without rustic cliché. Introduces the before/after project-portfolio pattern: projects are a content collection, so the same six starter jobs drive the featured pair on the home page, the index on /work and a page of their own. Small-caps metadata strips (year · size · scope · duration · neighborhood). No commerce. Quote-intake contact form instead of booking. Generalizes across the trades-with-portfolio archetype: general contractors, custom home builders, remodelers, interior designers, landscape architects, millwork and cabinetry shops.
