Did you know that there are approximately 30 million small businesses in the U.S. alone? According to Fundera, small businesses account for 64% of new jobs created.

One of the biggest challenges that small business owners face is how to market their product or service.

That’s where a well-designed website can give you an edge!

Here are 15 of the best Squarespace websites we’ve built for small businesses that are making a splash in 2021:

1. EST Creative

EST Creative specializes in copywriting and content strategy for small and large businesses. We love this site because it truly captures Emily’s personality and what an excellent copywriter she is. The vibrant color scheme paired with the fun design elements and professional photographs really makes her message shine!

2. Nephesh Pilates

Nephesh Pilates is a pilates studio located in Sacramento, CA. Besides having a beautiful design, one of the major strengths of this Squarespace site is how simple and focused it is. The site follows the StoryBrand framework and does a great job of guiding visitors toward a call to action – book your intro sessions.

3. Cadre AI

Cadre is an AI-focused tech startup who’s mission is to automate the world’s information. The simple yellow and blue color scheme and hand-drawn-style illustrations helped us make the often sterile concept of AI feel warm and approachable.

4. Rob Jinks Photography

Rob Jinks Photography is based in Northern Virginia and specializes in adventure wedding photography. Rob’s beautiful full-screen photos immediately show the quality of his work, building trust with his clients. We chose a rustic color scheme that helps reinforce the adventure theme, and the simple StoryBranded website copy brings the message home.

5. Micromercial

Micromercial provides an affordable and streamlined experience for anyone looking for a video to market their product. The generous whitespace we built into this design really lets the concise copy breathe, and the auto-playing background videos instantly show Micromercial’s excellent work.

6. Little Clay Land

Laura Dreyer at Little Clay Land makes adorable custom clay portraits for families and individuals worldwide. The e-commerce Squarespace website we built for Laura features artistic brush strokes, light colors, and beautiful photos of her work.

7. Upstate Laundromat

Upstate Laundromat is a modern, upscale laundromat located in Welcome, South Carolina. The circular elements we used in the the design of this site subtly tie into the motion of a washer or dryer, and the light blue is reminiscent of fresh laundry. The simplicity of this one-page website is what makes it so great!

8. Karing for Postpartum

Karing for Postpartum provides on-demand online classes for parents with newborns and young children. We love how the slightly moody photography mixes with the earthy color scheme to create a more grownup look for a baby-focused website.

9. Eyeful Media

Eyeful Media is a digital marketing agency focused on strategy and transformation. Working with their team, we developed a combination of serif and sans-serif fonts that come together beautifully. We also love how the creative typography paired with simple illustrations keeps the site interesting, even without any photographs.

10. Contigo Law

Contigo Law is a personal injury firm dedicated to serving Latino individuals and families. The way we designed this Squarespace site with an individual detail page for each practice area serves Contigo well because they function as additional SEO opportunities as well as landing pages for ad campaigns.

11. Outsyde

Outsyde manages private investments in conservation, environmental service and outdoor recreation projects. We love how this traditional color scheme is paired with topographic map elements to create a trendy-yet-trustworthy look.

12. Dynamic Fundraising Training

Anne Melvin, the founder of Dynamic Fundraising Training, provides interactive trainings that fire up fundraisers. For this site we chose bright colors and shapes that suggest movement. We love how the copy and design work together to show how Anne’s trainings are the opposite of boring.

We worked with Drew to create a web design that would build trust with potential clients. We love how the auto playing background video shows Drew in action, solving problems for his clients.

15. Parkland Direct

Parkland Direct is a printing company that specializes exclusively in envelopes and specialized printing techniques. This is a great example of how focused a website can be when it’s a very strategic part of the overall marketing plan. Instead of going into detail about all the amazing printing equipment they have, they drive potential clients to sign up for their sample book and creative mailing so they can begin building a relationship.
