16 Best Strikingly Website Examples

I found the best Strikingly websites that launch in minutes!

So, you think constraints kill creativity. Actually… these sites prove the opposite. Here are some tips to steal:

  • Lead with one bold headline. Dan Keenan Paint CoPainting contractor website — traditional, professional serif design in navy and white. "Proudly Painting DFW Since 1992" does this by guiding visitors straight to “Get A Quote” with zero clutter.
  • Commit to a moody color palette. Galestian MusicElectronic music producer's website — moody, cinematic design in dark tones with bold, 3D-effect typography. "GALESTIAN" locks in a black-and-blue scheme that feels premium despite Strikingly’s limited styling options.
  • Stack trust signals early. Seth GodinMarketing thought leadership website — minimalist, high-contrast black and orange design. "21 BESTSELLERS IN 39 LANGUAGES: MY BOOKS" builds credibility by leading with “21 bestselling books” right in the hero section.

What the Top 0.1% of Strikingly Websites Get Right

I analyzed these elite Strikingly sites and found three distinct patterns that separate standout websites from the pack.

Visual Identity: Bold Colors and Authentic Photography

High-performing sites abandon safe color choices for memorable brand statements.

  • Dark backgrounds dominate: About 70% use dark or black backgrounds like Seth Godin’sMarketing thought leadership website — minimalist, high-contrast black and orange design. "21 BESTSELLERS IN 39 LANGUAGES: MY BOOKS" pure black (#000000) and Blue StudiosImmersive, cosmic-themed NFT website with bold, decorative typography in dark navy, hot pink, and electric blue. "BELIEVE IN BELLA"’ cosmic navy (#0a0a2e), creating premium feel and making content pop
  • Single accent colors drive action: Sites like Unity Training use one bold accent (teal #2bbcb3) consistently across CTAs, links, and highlights while KeepPetPet care website — modern, clean typography design in teal and white. "Keep your pet safe" commits fully to their signature teal (#00B894)
  • Real photography over stock: Roughly 80% feature authentic imagery like Jeffrey Martin’sPhotography/geospatial technology website — dramatic, editorial serif design in white. "JEFFREY MARTIN" helicopter cockpit shot and Dan Keenan’s actual painted house rather than generic stock photos

→ Pick one bold accent color and use it everywhere that matters.

Layout and UX: Hero-First Navigation and Grid Mastery

These sites prioritize visual impact over traditional navigation patterns.

  • Minimal navigation wins: About 60% use 5 or fewer nav items like Galestian’s clean “Original Music, DJ Mixes, Services, Tour Dates” or completely eliminate nav like Jeffrey Martin’sPhotography/geospatial technology website — dramatic, editorial serif design in white. "JEFFREY MARTIN" avatar-only header
  • Full-viewport heroes are standard: Sites like The Dexterity Global GroupEducation-focused social impact website with bold, inspiring typography and dark, high-contrast design. "From green revolution to our space program—it all happened when ordinary individuals used their education to solve extraordinary problems." and Blue StudiosImmersive, cosmic-themed NFT website with bold, decorative typography in dark navy, hot pink, and electric blue. "BELIEVE IN BELLA" use 100vh heroes with centered text overlays, making immediate visual statements before any scrolling
  • Three-column feature grids: AP LensCybersecurity website — sleek, modern typography design in blue and white. "Low Touch Anti-Phishing Solution" and Miami Warehouse LogisticsLogistics company website — minimal, corporate design in green and gray. "We are your Warehouse Logistics Solutions" both use identical 3-4 column layouts for service explanations, proving this pattern converts

→ Lead with a full-screen hero and keep your nav under 5 items.

Copy and Messaging: Action-Driven Headlines and Social Proof

The best sites write headlines that promise transformation, not features.

  • Transformation-focused H1s: About 75% lead with outcome promises like “Build Muscle, Get Leaner, Move Better” (Unity Training) and “Low Touch Anti-Phishing Solution” (AP LensCybersecurity website — sleek, modern typography design in blue and white. "Low Touch Anti-Phishing Solution") rather than company descriptions
  • Conversational CTAs outperform generic ones: Sites use “Discover Security By Design” and “Learn More” instead of “Submit” or “Click Here”, with roughly 90% avoiding corporate language
  • Expert endorsements appear above the fold: Galestian features “A talented producer from Los Angeles - Paul Oakenfold” directly in the hero, while others integrate credibility markers immediately

→ Write headlines about what users achieve, not what you do.

Stop designing websites that look like everyone else’s. These top performers prove that bold visual choices, simplified navigation, and outcome-focused copy create memorable experiences that convert visitors into customers.
