Sample designs for three kinds of painting business
Each of these is a real HTML and CSS design, not a screenshot. The businesses are fictional, so every name, place and detail is made up. Your site uses your own words and photos.
Kettle & Brush Painters
House painter, Nelson and Tasman
Sample design, fictional business
Who it is for
A two-person repaint business whose work comes from homeowners and landlords. Customers are comparing two or three painters and want to see finished houses and know the prep is done properly.
Design decisions
- A finished weatherboard house fills the right side of the first screen, because the work sells the business.
- The headline names the job and the region in one line, so a local visitor knows they are in the right place.
- The quote button says "Request a quote" and sits in the header and the hero.
- Three tiles below the hero split exterior, interior and areas, each one a link to its own page.

Steelyard Commercial Painting
Commercial contractor, Waikato
Sample design, fictional business
Who it is for
A contractor working for facilities managers, schools and main contractors. Buyers check the site before adding a painter to a tender list, so capability and process matter more than colour.
Design decisions
- A darker, steel-toned palette that reads as a contractor, not a homeowner service.
- The main button asks for a site visit, and a second link offers a capability statement.
- Four sector tiles under the hero let a buyer go straight to relevant work.
- Health and safety is in the top navigation, because buyers look for it first.

Linden Room Decorating
Decorator and wallpaper hanger, Dunedin
Sample design, fictional business
Who it is for
A decorator who hangs wallpaper and does feature walls for homeowners and interior designers. The site has to look considered and make booking a colour consultation easy.
Design decisions
- A serif headline and a softer palette suit design-led work without feeling fussy.
- The arched wallpaper panel echoes a finished feature wall.
- The main button books a colour consultation, the first paid step for most jobs.
- Portfolio tabs by room let visitors browse the way they plan: by the space they want to change.

The same business, before and after
Many painting businesses already have a website, just not a useful one. Drag the slider to compare an outdated homepage with the Kettle & Brush sample.
What changes:
- A long welcome paragraph becomes one clear line about the job and the region
- A broken image box becomes a finished house
- "Call us" becomes a quote button that works at 9pm
- A Facebook link becomes pages for services and areas
How your own design comes together
These samples show structure and approach. Your site follows the same thinking, shaped around your services, your area and your photos. Colours come from your logo or van signage if you have them, or from a simple palette we suggest if you don't. Logo design itself isn't part of the plan.
The pieces every painter site gets are listed on what you get, and the cost is on pricing.
