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%). AnidaMinimalist UI/UX designer portfolio website with clean, monochrome illustration-driven design. "Hi, I'm Anida" and JigsawSoftware development agency website — clean, minimal, illustration-driven design in white, purple, and gold. "Your software idea, built fast" both build their hero around illustration, while AAOADesign agency website — modern, bold serif typography in dark and magenta. "Helping you with your design needs!" and Janna Lynn DesignFreelance email design website — bold, high-contrast typographic design in black, orange, and pink. "HEY, I'M JANNA" 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: ImagemCreative agency website — bold, geometric typography design in dark charcoal and cream. "Get yourself out there.", AKESDark mode, modern tech agency website with mixed serif and sans-serif typography in black, white, and red. "Ready to *scale* with custom mobile apps?", ZRØProduct design & engineering consulting website — minimalist, elegant sans-serif and script typography design in dark luxury tones. "Product Design & Consulting", and Patrick CuiTechnologist creative portfolio website featuring premium mobile app design in dark luxury aesthetic with oversized serif typography and gold accents. "Technologist Creative" all sit on near-black backgrounds paired with black-and-white palettes, and JuspayEnterprise fintech website with sleek, dark-themed layout and vibrant teal accents. "Global Payments Operating System" 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 NicolsonCreative services website — playful, feminine editorial design in warm pastel tones. "Fun and colourful product styling and photography to elevate your brand." and Janika JokinenCreative technology portfolio website — minimalist, editorial design in white, teal, and coral. "HI THERE! I'M JANIKA JOKINEN, A BACHELOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY WITH A BURNING PASSION TO LEARN ABOUT ANYTHING AND..." 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%. EmeteDigital product agency website — modern, typographic design in blue, pink, and purple. "You just found the missing part of your team", LablEcommerce SaaS platform with clean, minimalist design in pastel gradients. "Seamless Purchase Experiences", Tapestry AIAI-powered content creation website — clean, minimal design in white, purple, and beige. "Generate Hundreds of Influencer-Style TikToks for Your Brand", and AAOADesign agency website — modern, bold serif typography in dark and magenta. "Helping you with your design needs!" all use pill CTAs regardless of whether their palette is muted, vivid, or monochrome. Dark mode support, meanwhile, sits at just 7.3%, with AAOADesign agency website — modern, bold serif typography in dark and magenta. "Helping you with your design needs!" and ARR StudioCreative agency website — moody, colorful, and minimal web design. "Welcome to ARR Studio, where ideas turn into Brands, Websites and Software." 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.
