29 Best Gatsby Website Examples

I found the best Gatsby websites that craft blazing sites.

These sites prove Gatsby’s React foundation unlocks wild performance without sacrificing bold design. Here’s what makes them work:

  • Lead with confident copy. Aleo’sMinimalist, geometric blockchain website with bold serif typography in black and white. "Zero-Knowledge. Zero Compromises." “Zero-Knowledge. Zero Compromises.” headline positions their blockchain platform as non-negotiable, while Algbra’sEthical fintech website — modern, clean, premium design in pink, black, and white. "We are not a bank. We are a movement." bold messaging makes fintech feel approachable.
  • Use color blocking to guide attention. Kiss My Keto’sKeto-friendly snack brand website with clean, friendly serif typography in mint green, navy, and coral. "Cut carbs, kick cravings with our keto friendly snacks" playful palette makes supplements fun, Wisr’sFintech website — modern, premium 3D-illustrated design in teal, mint, and gold. "wisr FOR SMARTER MONEY DECISIONS" teal-and-yellow combo builds fintech trust, and KotlinConf’sSleek, modern software developer conference website with bold Kotlin-themed typography and vibrant purple-orange color scheme. "KotlinConf 2025" purple-black contrast captures developer energy.
  • Optimize hero layouts for instant clarity. Alpian’sSwiss neobank website — sleek, modern typography in dark, moody tones with purple accents. "Say Hello to personalised banking and investing" full-width hero with minimalist navigation drives banking conversions, while GoodPath’sDigital health website — clean, modern typography design in dark navy, purple, and teal. "Virtual, whole-person care for chronic conditions" centered hero with rounded components makes healthcare feel human.

The best Gatsby website examples split almost evenly between white and black

Across the gallery, 55.2% of Gatsby websites sit in the near-white bucket while 34.5% go near-black, with light and dark backgrounds barely registering at 6.9% and 3.4%. That near two-to-one split shows this niche has no patience for midtones: a Gatsby build is either a bright product canvas or a near-black stage for contrast. Cloudflare PagesDeveloper-focused, minimalist JAMstack website design in orange and black. "Build *fast* sites. In record time." and IdeaBuddyEntrepreneurship software website — clean, modern, friendly design in blues and greens. "Build your dream business with confidence" anchor the white end, while DovetailSaaS product analytics website - dark, minimalist typography in black, white, and green. "Get total clarity from scattered feedback" and AlpianSwiss neobank website — sleek, modern typography in dark, moody tones with purple accents. "Say Hello to personalised banking and investing" show how a near-black background still reads clean and product-focused rather than moody.

Neutral and blue dominate accents, but nothing runs away with it

Neutral hues lead the accent palette at 28%, with blue close behind at 20%, and green, purple, and amber tied at 12% apiece. This is a spread, not a landslide: designers picking an accent color for a Gatsby site are roughly as likely to skip color altogether as they are to reach for blue. React ConnectionTech conference website — modern, developer-focused design in dark teal and white. "The French React Conference" and ClassDojoEdTech website — friendly, warm, approachable design in navy, white, and accent colors. "Where classrooms become communities" both use blue buttons against otherwise restrained palettes, while CodinGameGamified coding education website with a sleek, dark-themed layout in yellow and white. "Play coding games. Have fun. Build skills." breaks from the pack with amber, proving the remaining fifty-some percent isn’t wasted on a single safe hue.

Monochrome and muted together outnumber vibrant more than three to one

Monochrome saturation profiles account for 41.4% of sites and muted another 37.9%, leaving vibrant at just 20.7%. Combined, restrained palettes cover roughly four out of five Gatsby websites in this set. UniplacesMinimalist, dark-themed software developer portfolio with bold B&W photography and clean, sans-serif typography in white and light gray. "Talk is cheap. Show me the code." and Advance CoursesEdtech website — clean, modern typography design in purple and gray. "ONLINE MEMORY AND FOCUS DEVELOPMENT COURSE" both commit to black-and-white palettes, while WisrFintech website — modern, premium 3D-illustrated design in teal, mint, and gold. "wisr FOR SMARTER MONEY DECISIONS" and BitfinexCryptocurrency exchange website — dark, minimalist typography design in navy and teal. "Delivering financial freedom" represent the vivid minority, showing that when color does get loud, it’s the exception rather than the default mode.

Photography and illustration carry the hero, product mockups stay secondary

Photo heroes lead at 46.4%, illustration follows at 25%, and product mockups sit at 17.9%, with plain text-only heroes at 7.1% and 3D artwork appearing just once. For a framework built around content sites and marketing pages rather than pure SaaS dashboards, photography’s lead over mockups makes sense. Dogs TrustAnimal welfare nonprofit website — warm, friendly organic design in yellow, black, and cream. "Will you help dogs in urgent need of a happy place?" and Kiss My KetoKeto-friendly snack brand website with clean, friendly serif typography in mint green, navy, and coral. "Cut carbs, kick cravings with our keto friendly snacks" lean on photography-led heroes, IdeaBuddyEntrepreneurship software website — clean, modern, friendly design in blues and greens. "Build your dream business with confidence" and KotlinConfSleek, modern software developer conference website with bold Kotlin-themed typography and vibrant purple-orange color scheme. "KotlinConf 2025" use illustration instead, and WisrFintech website — modern, premium 3D-illustrated design in teal, mint, and gold. "wisr FOR SMARTER MONEY DECISIONS" stands alone with 3D hero artwork.

Sans-serif type and a five-item nav are the quiet defaults

Sans-serif headings appear on 89.3% of sites, leaving serif as a rare accent used by only three sites in the whole set. Navigation is just as settled: the median Gatsby site carries five nav items, tight enough to keep a header scannable without feeling sparse. AleoMinimalist, geometric blockchain website with bold serif typography in black and white. "Zero-Knowledge. Zero Compromises." and Lucky Moon TattooTattoo studio website — minimal, bold serif typography design in black and white. "LUCKY MOON TATTOO" both keep to sans headings despite very different subject matter, reinforcing that Gatsby website design treats typography restraint as a near-universal baseline rather than a stylistic choice.
