Small business website examples

These example designs show how I’d approach a one-page website for common kinds of local business — and the thinking behind each layout. I’ll only ever publish real client projects with the client’s written permission.

Every design here is an original example — not a real business or a client project.

Example · Trades

Plumber website

A one-page site for a plumber or electrician: tap-to-call up top, the areas covered, the main jobs and a short quote form — built for customers in a hurry.

What this example shows

  • Call button always in reach
  • Areas covered, up front
  • Three main services
  • Short quote form

Why it’s designed this way

Most trade enquiries happen on a phone, often when something has gone wrong. The call button stays within thumb reach, and the list of suburbs answers “do you come to me?” before anyone has to ask.

Example design — not a real business or client project

Example · Salons & barbers

Barber & salon website

A light, booking-led page: services with how long they take, a gallery of real work, opening hours and a “Book now” button on every screen.

What this example shows

  • Book-now button
  • Services and times
  • Work gallery
  • Opening hours

Why it’s designed this way

Salon customers want to see the style, check what’s on offer and book. The design leads with your work, keeps services easy to scan and makes booking the most obvious thing on the page.

Example design — not a real business or client project

Example · Cafés & restaurants

Café website

Built around what café visitors check most: today’s hours, a menu that reads well on a phone, and how to find you.

What this example shows

  • Today’s hours
  • Phone-friendly menu
  • Find-us section
  • Easy-to-update specials

Why it’s designed this way

Most people check a café website for the hours, the menu and directions. This layout puts those three first, uses a text menu that loads fast and gives staff one simple area for specials.

Example design — not a real business or client project

Example · Retail

Gift shop website

A simple storefront that encourages a visit — new arrivals, click-and-collect details and store hours — with room to grow into online sales later.

What this example shows

  • New arrivals
  • Click & collect
  • Store hours
  • Ready for a shop later

Why it’s designed this way

For many local shops the goal is a visit, not an online checkout. New stock and store details come first, with a structure that can grow into online sales if and when it makes sense.

About future case studies

When clients give permission, I’ll add real projects here — the challenge, the work I did and only outcomes I can genuinely back up. Example designs will never be presented as client work.
