A customer designed their own shed, then sent Iron Works the plans.
On 13 October a customer used the Shed & Carport Designer we built for Iron Works Mobile Welding & Fabrication, drew up a 6 × 9 m shed and sent it straight to Sean, ready to quote. Here’s what came through, and why tools like this turn a website into a lead machine.

Key takeaways
- On 13 October 2026 a customer designed a 6 × 9 m gable shed on the Iron Works website and sent it to Sean with a 3D view, a dimensioned plan, doors and colours.
- The designer asks the questions a quote needs up front, so the enquiry arrives ready to price instead of starting a round of calls.
- In September 2026 the Iron Works website brought in 15 enquiries, and Google clicks rose 40% (60 to 84) in the 28 days to 9 October 2026.

Just after midday on Tuesday 13 October, a customer finished designing a shed on the Iron Works website and pressed send. Sean got an email with everything he needs to price the job, drawn up by the customer in the Shed & Carport Designer we built for him.
What came through
A gable shed 6.0 m wide, 9.0 m long and 3.6 m to the walls, with a 22° roof over three bays: 54 m² in all. A 3.0 × 2.4 m roller door centred on the front, a 3.0 × 3.0 m roller door centred on the back and a PA door on the right side. Woodland Grey roof, trim and doors over Dover White walls.
The email carried a 3D view and a dimensioned plan, both drawn by the designer, plus a link that rebuilds the same shed for Sean in one tap. The designer had also flagged that a shed this size likely needs council approval, so the customer’s only question was whether Iron Works organises council too. That’s a conversation about the job, not about measurements.
Why it beats a contact form
Sheds, carports and pergolas are hard to quote from a two-line message. It usually takes a few calls, or a site visit, just to pin down sizes, doors and colours. The designer asks those questions up front in a way people enjoy: describe what you need, see it in 3D, check your ute or caravan fits, then send it. The enquiry arrives ready to quote.
That’s what we mean by turning a website into a lead machine. A form waits for someone to have a question. A tool gives them something to do, and what they make lands in the owner’s inbox.
The bigger picture for Iron Works
Sean started Iron Works in February 2026. In September 2026 his website brought in 15 enquiries: 6 quote forms, 6 calls and 3 emails, counted in our client portal. In the 28 days to 9 October 2026 it got 84 clicks from Google, up 40% from 60 in the 28 days before (Google Search Console). By August he was busy enough to take on extra staff. The full story, with dates on every number, is in the Iron Works case study.
