681 Best Agency Website Examples
Agency sites have every reason to lead with big portfolio photos, but the best agency websites mostly don’t. I ran every site here through Claude. Photography as the main hero image is far rarer in this category than anywhere else in the gallery. These sites skip the expected full-screen project shot and open with bold type, dark backgrounds, and confident positioning. Compare the examples below, whether you’re building a Design Agency site or a Marketing Agency page.

Best agency website examples favor illustration and product shots over stock photography
Photography leads hero media across the gallery at large, appearing on 64.1% of sites, but among agency websites it drops to 36.8%, a bucket of 193 sites. That’s a wide gap, and it points to a real shift in how agencies present themselves: rather than leaning on lifestyle photography or stock imagery, they favor illustration (20.6%), product screenshots (14.5%), or skip imagery entirely (19.8%). Anida
and Jigsaw
both build their hero around illustration, while AAOA
and Janna Lynn Design
use product-screenshot heroes to show the work instead of a posed photo of the team. For a builder in this space, that’s a signal: a portfolio piece or interface mockup does more credibility work than a smiling headshot.
Near-black backgrounds are nearly twice as common here as elsewhere
Near-black backgrounds show up on 31.9% of agency sites, 169 in total, against 18.1% gallery-wide. That’s a significant tilt toward darkness in a category otherwise dominated by near-white (47%). Agencies use the near-black option to read as confident and studio-grade: Imagem
, AKES
, ZRØ
, and Patrick Cui
all sit on near-black backgrounds paired with black-and-white palettes, and Juspay
pairs the same dark base with a muted color profile and a 3D hero. If you’re designing in this niche, don’t treat white as default. Near-black is a legitimate, common choice, especially for studios that want their case studies and typography to carry the visual weight rather than color.
Full-bleed overlay heroes are used sparingly
Only 17.2% of agency sites use a full-bleed overlay hero, a bucket of 71 sites, compared with 35.7% across the gallery. Agencies instead spread their hero layouts more evenly across stacked copy (25.7%), centered (25.4%), and split-copy-left (17.9%) arrangements. Clare Nicolson
and Janika Jokinen
both run photography-led heroes without overlay treatment, letting the image sit alongside the copy rather than under it. This matters for legibility: agencies that need to state a service proposition clearly tend to avoid layering text over a full-bleed image, since it can compete with a headline that’s doing real positioning work.
Buttons are almost universally pill-shaped, and dark mode is rare
Pill buttons dominate at 53.8%, more than double the next shape, square at 25.5%. Emete
, Labl
, Tapestry AI
, and AAOA
all use pill CTAs regardless of whether their palette is muted, vivid, or monochrome. Dark mode support, meanwhile, sits at just 7.3%, with AAOA
and ARR Studio
among the small set that support it. Anyone building in Design Agency Websites, Marketing Agency Websites, or Software Development Websites can treat pill buttons as the safe convention and dark-mode toggles as an unusual extra, not an expectation.
