About the Rust Iron template
Oxidized orange rusts beautifully across gunmetal grey, the palette of weathered metal left to corrode in industrial yards and factories. Your buttery text glows like candlelight reflecting off rust pits. Real-time analytics track visitor rust accumulation—showing which weeks and hours bring the heaviest, longest-staying visitors to your page with data-driven precision.
What the demo shows
The live demo on this page launches Patina, a made-up product we wrote to show the template with realistic copy: the headline reads “Old iron, new life.” and the subhead says “Salvaged industrial furniture restored in our workshop. Tables, lamps and shelves with a hundred years of story.” Below it you see the signup form, a demo launch countdown and the share-to-climb referral panel exactly as a visitor would. Try the form: in the demo nothing is stored. When you use Rust Iron, you replace Patina with your own product name, headline, subhead and logo; the palette and motion come with it and every colour stays editable.
Design details
Rust Iron is a dark template: a charcoal background (#1c1917), pale orange type (#fed7aa) and a vivid vermilion accent (#ea580c) on the join button, the countdown and the referral highlights. Body text sits at a 12.9:1 contrast ratio against the background, comfortably past the WCAG AAA threshold. Behind the copy the page animates with turning gears, front and centre; visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a still frame instead. Structurally it uses the Brutalist layout, shared with 39 other templates, but the palette, the motion and the demo copy are Rust Iron's own.

How it compares
Within Industrial, Rust Iron stands out for its vivid vermilion accent on a charcoal ground. If it is not quite right, Foundry Orange is also dark but leans on a vivid vermilion accent and glowing embers rising (“Molten metal glow”). Dock Blue is also dark but leans on a vivid amber accent and an animated containers layer (“Shipping crate cobalt”). Factory Chimney is also dark but leans on a vivid amber accent and an animated smoke layer (“Smoke + steel-grey sky”). All of them share the same signup, referral and analytics features, so switching later only changes the look.
