A business website is a company's home on the web: the place where a visitor learns what the business does, decides whether it can be trusted, and takes a next step — calling, booking, requesting a quote, or buying. The examples below are grouped by industry. Part of the website examples library.

Business website examples

The real examples below are well-known companies, and each card is limited to what is publicly observable on the company's homepage: structure, navigation, CTA text, and trust signals. Nothing here states traffic, revenue, or business results. Industries that are mostly local — where no single company can fairly represent the pattern — are shown as clearly labelled illustrative patterns built from the common structure of that business type.

The anatomy of a business website

Most business homepages use the same skeleton, in the same order:

  1. Header — logo, navigation, and usually a phone number or CTA that never disappears
  2. Hero — one headline, one subheadline, one primary CTA
  3. Trust strip — logos, review stars, certifications, or years in business
  4. Services — a grid or list of what you offer
  5. Proof — testimonials, before/after work, case studies
  6. Final CTA — a repeat of the main action near the end
  7. Footer — contact details, hours, service areas, and quick links

The two patterns worth studying hardest are the hero — your one chance to say what you do and what to click — and the trust signals, the reason a stranger believes you. For the wireframe version of this skeleton, see the website wireframe example page.

Good vs weak business website patterns

The examples below are illustrative patterns, not real companies. They show the difference between a homepage that leaves the visitor unsure and one that makes the next step obvious.

Instead of this (weak)Try this (stronger)Why
A hero with no buttonA hero with one clear CTAVisitors need an obvious next step; a headline alone leaves the decision to them
A phone number only in the footerA phone number in the headerAppointment-based visitors look for a phone before anything else
"We are a full-service company""Roof repair in [city], done in one day"A specific promise beats a generic claim
No proof anywhereTestimonials, reviews, or before/after workStrangers trust third-party proof more than your own words
Five different CTAs above the foldOne primary CTA above the foldToo many actions compete, and none gets chosen
A generic stock photo of a handshakeA real photo of the team, work, or productReal photos build trust; stock does not

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a business website example?
A real site a company runs to explain what it does and collect leads — for example Stripe for payments, or a local plumber's site. This page breaks down the homepage structure, hero, CTA, navigation, and trust signals of each example so you can copy the pattern.
How many pages does a business website need?
Aim for the core set first: homepage, about, services, contact, plus one page per main service. Small business sites often do well with five to eight pages — more is not better unless each page has a job.
What is a hero section?
The first block on the homepage. It usually carries a headline, a subheadline, and a primary call-to-action button. It is the one spot where you state what you do and what the visitor should click next.
What is a primary CTA?
The one action you most want a visitor to take — call, book, request a quote, or start a free trial. Effective business sites repeat it in the header, the hero, and near the footer.
What are trust signals?
The evidence that helps a stranger believe you: testimonials, reviews, customer logos, licenses, years in business, and security badges. They answer the question 'why should I trust you?'
What is the difference between a business website and an ecommerce website?
A business website usually generates leads — calls and enquiries — while an ecommerce website sells products online with a cart and checkout. Many companies do both; the [ecommerce examples](/ecommerce-website-examples/) page covers the storefront side.
