In order to succeed in the increasingly competitive market, it is essential to invest in good web design.
Let’s face it: creating the perfect landing page for your services is difficult.
The best services web pages strike a balance between being informative and trying to elicit a sale.
Going too far in one direction will make you feel like a low-rate wikipedia page, going too far in the other will put you on par with used car salesmen.
So how do you do it; how do you make a service page that will actually resonate with your customer?
We’ve worked with dozens of companies to improve their service business or B2B web design. While there is no one size fits all answer to constructing an effective services page, there are a number web page design principles we’ve found to be universally successful. Don’t miss out on potential business opportunities – trust a professional web design company to deliver exceptional results every time.
In this article we’ll be exploring those principles along with sharing industry leading services page website design ideas you can learn from.

Section 1
Let’s be honest, most services pages are snoozefest. They’re either too vague, too wordy, or just plain forgettable.
But when done right?
A great services page can spark interest, build trust, and move prospects one giant step closer to “let’s talk.”
We’ve rounded up 10 standout examples (and we’re not just handing out gold stars).
We’ll break down what each gets right and where there’s room to level up, so you can build a page that actually drives conversions (not just clicks).

Kicking off our list of company website design examples is the "Construction Managers" page from Punchlist.

Section 2
Like almost everything else in life, having a strong foundation (website structure) is going to be key for the success of your services section.
Getting this right will not only improve user experience, but it will also set you up for improved search engine optimization.
A common question we receive from businesses we partner with is something to the effect of: “Should I just list all of my services on a single page, or should I create individual pages for each service?”.
The quick and short answer we give is: You should have both.
Single service pages and individual ones inherently serve different purposes in your website design.
Let’s take a few moments to explain.

Individual Service pages are also often referred to as landing pages. These are pages on your website design that are focused on a single, specific service offering. Some of the quick advantages to these pages are:
Ultimately, individual service pages are a powerful tool for delivering information to new users.
We find that these types of website templates get viewed most by new users when they’re the entry point of the site. A brand new user entering in from your homepage will be less likely to visit these pages on their first website visit.

Service Overview pages are a single destination that lists out all of the services you offer.
These pages are great for first time visitors coming in from somewhere like your home page because they allow the user to quickly understand the breadth of your offerings.
We find that these types of pages almost always get a hit from a first time visitor. Service Overview pages can also be effective knowledge bases for current customers who need to find quick answers to their questions.
For a long time there’s been some debate surrounding how URLs should be created.
Some SEOs suggest that the URL contain all of your key terms, while user experience experts suggest keeping it as short as possible.
These two ideologies are often in direct contention with one another.
Let’s say you were trying to rank for the term “Web Design Services New York“.
An SEO might suggest that the URL looks something like this:
/web-design-services-new-york
Where a UX expert might suggest the URL looks something like this:
/web-design
Neither is perfect, but the user experience expert’s suggestion is actually more in-line with modern standards.
Search engines have been advancing steadily since their creation. While we don’t know the keys to their algorithm exactly, we do know that search engines have been moving away from direct match terms as their biggest ranking factors.
Why? Simply put, it was easy to manipulate.
Search engines instead put focus on topical relevance. This relevance can be built in a number of different ways which we talk about lower in the article, but essentially it comes down to analyzing the whole of the content and grading it on its relevance. Having the extra words in the URL slug itself will yield little to no actual SEO benefit.
So what should you focus on instead? In general, you should be focusing on your content as topics. Each topic will then have sub-topics associated with it.

Protip: This article from Hubspot actually does a great job of explaining the nuances of pillar pages in more detail if you’re interested.
So circling back to the example we listed above, the main topic is ‘services’, and the sub-topic is ‘web-design’, as it’s an individual service. ‘New York’ isn’t really a topic at all, it’s a modifier to the term.
That should leave you with a URL like:
/services/web-design
This URL accomplishes a few interesting things:
Have you ever thought about URLs this much before?
Probably not, it’s definitely something we see overlooked a lot.
However, getting these fundamentals right can become the difference between how satisfied users are navigating your website design and where you show up in rankings vs your competitors. Don’t skip it.

Chapter 3
You don’t have much time to get your audience’s attention. Just a few seconds, in fact. It’s easy to get caught up with your website design, but what about the copy on your corporate website?
The right opening statement makes those seconds count.
This is where you tell your audience, in as few words as possible, why your service should matter to them. Think of it as an elevator pitch, but with 30 words instead of 30 seconds.
What you should avoid:
Instead, focus on the benefits of that service. Put yourself into your audience’s shoes, and try to understand the reasons why they’d want to become customers.
No one gets a haircut because they like the feel of scissors on their scalp. They endure it because of what they get as a result.
In other words…
Craft your opening statement based on two basic principles: poking the pain, and building the benefit.
When customers seek out a solution, they hire you because they want to fill a specific need. That need is driven by a deeper pain point. Your copywriting should speak directly to that point. Let's check out the example below from Basecamp:

The pain is clear: "Wrestling with projects? It doesn’t have to be this hard."
If you're a project manager, this hits home. You know how hard it is to manage projects already, and if the "productivity tools" you're using aren't making you more productive, they're just getting in the way.
This emotional trigger resonates and let's the prospective customer know "Basecamp gets me".
This is your pivot—your opportunity to clearly communicate how your service solves the pain point and what your customers get from hiring you. If you craft it right, the desire to work with you should come naturally.
Let's take a look at this example from Notion.

In this example, by using the headline "The AI Workspace that works for you." they're selling an outcome most of their customers want – less work.
Protip: Unsure if you got it right? Test it. Find a member of your target audience and run your draft by them. Are they having an emotional response? Are they convinced in 30 seconds or less? If not, dig into why and revise.
Section 4
Why would a potential customer let you into their home or wallet? Your service page content helps you answer that question.
It’s about trust. It’s about credibility. And most importantly, it’s about presenting yourself in an authentic way that still showcases your expertise.
Three basic tactics help you accomplish all of those website design goals. Let’s dig into each of them.

We’ll start with the possibility of including the logo design of other clients you’ve worked with as part of your services page design.
Client logos are an easy and powerful way to build proof of your expertise. They showcase your ability to work with other companies and help them solve their problems.
It’s the power of peer pressure. Your audience trusts you a lot more if they know others like them have already used them. This innovative way to design a web page also makes you more memorable.
Most importantly, logos don’t take up a lot of space on your services page. You can simply dedicate a small portion of the website design to them, subtly reinforcing your expertise in the eyes of everyone who knows the source of the logos.

You probably know about testimonials as a core way to build social proof. They take the burden of talking about your benefits from you and put it into the hands of a more easily trusted, independent source.
But are you using them the right way?
No page will benefit from a simple customer talking about your service just being the best. Instead, your audience is looking for nuance.
Ask your existing clients for specific ways in which your service has solved their pain points. The more specific, the better.
You don’t need a book on your page. But you should look for at least a couple of powerful sentences or a short video.
The best testimonials don’t just reiterate your elevator pitch.
Instead, they build on it, taking the high notes and digging in deep. Those specific examples ultimately reinforce your message and build trust throughout your website design.
Again, the objective here isn't to just have a website that looks nice, we want a true marketing and business asset.

Selling your clients is all about the ROI. Your service should lead to a tangible, positive outcome for anyone who chooses it. Get that message across, and you’re halfway to the conversion.
Showcasing customer results makes that outcome real. They help you put real-world numbers into your page design to move away from hypotheticals.
You can write in-depth case studies that really bring the point home. But those case studies shouldn’t live on the services page.
Instead, use an especially powerful nugget of information to stand out, then link to the case study for those interested. You get the benefit of the big number first, with additional content to dig in deeper.
If you collect enough, customer results can be sprinkled throughout your services page to reinforce your benefits.

Section 5
Your opening statement and social proof combine to drive interest and desire. But that desire doesn’t automatically result in hard dollars. Not yet.
What you need is that natural next step. The conversion opportunity that drives your visitors further down the funnel and into your waiting arms.
That’s what this chapter will focus on. Through two basic concepts, you can begin to build your lead funnel.

To start, consider offering a helpful resource for your audience straight from your services page. In exchange, ask them for nothing but their contact information.
If that resource helps to solve their pain point, they’ll be happy to give you their email address.
It’s the reciprocity principle. If you give your audience something valuable, they’ll feel compelled to give you something valuable in return.
The resource itself shouldn’t be promotional. Value needs to come first, and the promotion should come after you get the contact information.
When you have that info, your visitor is no longer anonymous. Instead, you can use their email address to build a lead-nurturing sequence specifically designed to sign them up for your service.
That sequence can take on a number of forms. Here’s one example:

Do you offer a complex pricing model that can’t be explained in a single sentence? If so, a cost calculator can help your audience understand costs—with a few hidden benefits for you.
You can actually include one of two calculator types on your services page:
An understanding of what your service may cost, based on a few basic variables.
An understanding of the value your service may bring based on some numbers from your customer and a few backend ROI numbers.
If it hits the right mix of simplicity and added value, your visitors will flock to the calculator. Hide the result behind an email form and you once again have a lead generation tool.
But that’s not all. Through your calculator, you can also upsell your audience after you show them the results.
Think of it this way: you show the results of the variables your visitors have inputted. But you also show how positively they change with a simple tweak in the variables. That broadens their horizon and gets them to think big.

Both of the above tactics require a contact form, the mechanism through which your audience actually signs up. Done right, they provide as little friction as possible in getting that visitor email address.
To accomplish that feat, follow a few basic best practices for contact forms:
If possible, integrate your CMS and CRM so that new leads automatically enter your customer contact base. That allows you to build automated lead sequences like the above.

Chapter 6
Follow the above tips, and you’ve got a great services page. Now, all you need is to drive traffic to it.
That’s where we turn to an old friend: search engine optimization.
The trouble with service page SEO is that the topics are often so broad, you can’t focus enough for a high ranking on a competitive keyword. That said, you can still make an impact if you get the basics right.
Make no mistake: SEO matters. But it’s also unrealistic to think that you’ll suddenly become a top result on Google with a few simple tweaks. That’s important to know as you move into the below.
Build a strategy to match those expectations. Instead of trying to rank highly for broad terms within your industry, pull it back with a few basic guidelines:
With that strategy in mind, it’s time to optimize the individual elements of your services page. Start simple, by resizing all images and giving them appropriate alt tags to please Google and increase page speed.
Beyond that, you need to make sure your keyword appears naturally but regularly on your page. The title, URL slug, and body copy should all not just mention it, but build value-added content (like an answer to the question) around it.
Don’t forget about your meta description, either. It shows up below your page title in search results, providing a perfect opportunity for some quick but relevant copy.
Finally, make sure to include relevant links. When you mention other but related services, for instance, link to those landing pages to keep guiding your audience in the right direction.
Speaking of internal links: Make sure that throughout your website, your service page gets the attention it deserves.
Search engines like Google consider pages that a lot of other pages are linking to as more authoritative. You can take advantage of that basic fact.
From any page on your website design, include links to your services page anytime they’re relevant. That might be a blog post mentioning the service you provide, or even your homepage.
Don’t overdo it, of course. But as long as you keep it to relevant topics, these cross-links can go a long way towards increasing your search profile.

When you do, you’ll be surprised at the conversion machine that your services page can become.
