Sample Sites, Built for Businesses We Made Up.

Pick a Starting Point.

Editorial sites lead with type and photographs. Black-and-cream sites lean on contrast and mood. Artist portfolios put the work first. Home services sites are built to get the call. Coffee shop sites put the menu and the hours first. Church sites start with when to come and what to expect. Creative portfolios pair the work with one project told in full. Gym sites put the timetable and a free first class up front. Filter by family, then open any card to try the site itself.

  Black & Cream

  The site as a film: title sequence, letterboxed scenes with timecodes, services as end credits.

• 

  Proof →

  Black & Cream

  Darkroom contact sheet with grease-pencil circles, selects, how-you-choose process.

• 

  The Band →

  Black & Cream

  Cigar-band styling in oxblood and gold, packages named like product sizes.

  Field Journal →

  Magazine-style stories, gear list, pull-quote excerpt, newsletter.

  Mosaic →

  Artist Portfolio

  No hero: an edge-to-edge photo wall, a pinned accent bar with category filters, full-screen viewer.

• 

  Signature →

  Artist Portfolio

  Museum restraint: huge accent wordmark, one image at a time, series list swaps the image.

• 

  Stories →

  Artist Portfolio

  Client projects as titled stories (Brand ~ Story) in editorial tiles grouped by year.

• 

  Creator →

  Artist Portfolio

  Creator hub: People/Things/Places tabs, reels row, limited prints, client list, newsletter.

  Dispatch →

  Home Services

  Emergency first: a live on-call bar, a "What's happening?" triage card that says what to do until the van arrives, and a call bar that follows on phones.

• 

  Flat Rate →

  Home Services

  A menu board of flat-rate prices in tabs, the next open times to book, and pricing questions answered.

• 

  Copper Line →

  Home Services

  Heritage and craft: a copper pipe draws itself down the page as you read, joining the story, services and craft, ending at a big wordmark.

• 

  Blueprint →

  Home Services

  Drafting-paper blue with a house cutaway: pick a room to see its jobs, then a spec sheet, a five-step process and projects.

• 

  Neighborhood →

  Home Services

  Local and friendly: a ZIP check in the hero, a before-and-after slider, a yearly maintenance plan sign-up and service areas.

• 

  Riverside →

  Coffee Shop

  Warm and leafy: cream and sage, a serif with italic emphasis, leaf line drawings and a wavy photo edge. Shows whether the cafe is open right now, menu favorites in tabs, and a full menu with an S, M, L switch that leaves one price column on a phone.

• 

  Lamplight →

  Coffee Shop

  Espresso-black with one citrus accent, widely spaced capitals and square corners. A By Day and After Five switch changes the photo, headline and featured drinks (it opens on After Five in the evening), and the menu is a paper card you flip through.

• 

  Slow Bar →

  Coffee Shop

  Parchment and a whisper-weight serif with one saffron accent and hairline rules. A split hero, A Day at the Bar as a scattered photo collage, a beans shelf you can filter by roast, a home brew calculator, and a menu whose index follows you as you scroll.

• 

  Summit →

  Church and Retreat

  Gold on night navy with a cross on a ridge at golden hour. A live countdown to the next service in the church’s time zone, four values, a family band, event cards, and a visit panel with times and a plan-your-visit form. The events page filters by kind.

• 

  Parish →

  Church and Retreat

  Stone, ink and a literary serif, led by photographs of the nave. Its one accent follows the church year, worked out from the date of Easter (purple, gold, red or green), so the whole site changes color with the seasons. Service times first, what to expect, a calendar of big date numerals, clergy slots and evening prayer.

• 

  Still Waters →

  Church and Retreat

  A retreat center by a mountain lake: Be Still. over the water, photo doors by who it’s for, retreats as big date blocks you filter, a day’s rhythm in circles, lodging, and a group request that works out nights and guest-nights.

• 

  Afterglow →

  Creative Portfolio

  A design and engineering studio in near-black calm: an ember glow that follows the pointer, a giant outlined wordmark, work that rises out of a blur as you scroll, a live studio clock and a capabilities list. The case study (Ring) lets you try the mark at any weight and copy the palette.

• 

  Contact Sheet →

  Creative Portfolio

  A travel photographer: a black and white hero that turns to color wherever the pointer has been, a route that draws itself and lights each stop, stories that stack like cards, and a contact sheet with a lightbox. The story page is a photo essay whose caption follows you, with a contact-sheet view.

• 

  Plan & Section →

  Creative Portfolio

  An architecture practice in limestone and serif: a featured house you switch between photograph, plan and section, drawn line by line, and a project index that previews each building. The project page has a month slider for the noon sun at the site’s latitude.

• 

  Letterbox →

  Creative Portfolio

  A director and cinematographer: letterboxed 2.39 : 1 stills, a running timecode, a full-screen reel of stills, a color grade you choose for every frame on the page, and a credits roll. The film page compares the camera file with the final grade.

• 

  Pinboard →

  Creative Portfolio

  An illustration and screen-print studio: a giant wordmark on cobalt with taped prints you drag, nudge or tidy, a ticker, a work wall with stickers, and a print shop with ink dots, sizes and a sample bag. The project page splits a poster into its three inks, with a misregister slider.

• 

  Treeline →

  Gym and Fitness

  A personal training studio in evergreen and bone: Brad's layout with a photo hero, a goal picker that lights the matching program, names it on every booking button and fills the free consultation form, four program cards, a light Why Choose band, slots for client quotes and a mountain close. The programs page adds checklists, how it works, pricing and questions.

• 

  Fight Card →

  Gym and Fitness

  A boxing club as a fight poster: newsprint, heavy rules, stacked condensed type, one red and black and white halftone photos. Today's classes as the undercard, a working round clock with a bell flash, the classes as bouts and tickets for prices. The timetable shows the week by level, one day at a time on phones.

• 

  Slow Flow →

  Gym and Fitness

  A pilates and yoga studio, quiet on purpose: plaster and plum, a serif display, photos cropped into arches and a one-minute breathing guide. Every class says how it feels (gentle, steady, strong), the next four classes come live from the schedule, and the schedule filters by feel and type with this week's dates.

• 

  Cadence →

  Gym and Fitness

  An indoor cycling studio in a dark room of magenta light: a map of the room where you pick a free bike for the next ride (front row, near a fan) and hold it, four rides by tempo with a dot that pulses at each beat, and a schedule of the next seven days that opens the bike map.

• 

  Night Shift →

  Gym and Fitness

  A 24-hour club that looks like what time it is: dark with an ice-blue light line at night and bright by day, by the visitor's clock or their pick. How busy it is by the hour for any day, three plans with a monthly or yearly switch and a bento of what's inside. The memberships page adds a comparison table, the week as a heat map, personal training and a join form.

Every business here is made up, from Ember & Iron to Nightjar Fitness Club, and so are their quotes, menus, events, projects, timetables and prices. The photos are free stock from Unsplash, standing in for a client's own.
