Let’s chat about your services page! As a service-based business owner, the main point of this page of your website is to help your potential clients understand what you offer, whether or not it’s for them, and what step to take next.
That said, there is no perfect structure for a services page — how it’s laid out really depends on what you sell. Below, I’m outlining 3 different services page examples for 3 different types of service-based businesses.
Examples: architect, interior designer, brand photographer
Many service providers that I work with have one main service and they customize it as needed. A good example of this is an architect I’m currently designing a brand and website for: while he works on a wide variety of projects (from small closet renovations to full home builds), he sells it all under one umbrella service: architecture!
In this case, it’s important to highlight that service first and foremost – while also communicating examples of the types of projects that fall under the umbrella.
Example: brand/web designer, marketing consultant, creative studio
On the other hand, many service-based business owners have multiple services options or a more tiered approach. My business is an example of that! I design brands and I develop websites – not every client needs both a brand and a website, so they are separate services. I also have broken my services down even further: minibrands to full brand strategies; templated websites to fully custom builds. I also offer ongoing design retainers, website audits, and VIP design days. I need to somehow make sure to communicate all of these offers on my own services page without getting too in the weeds!
My biggest tip for business owners like this is that your services page should not feel like a project proposal, with every deliverable and detail crammed in. Instead, it’s important to give a clear, high level overview of your offers so that clients can easily skim and see if you have something that may work for them.
Example: course creator, designer selling DIY templates, photographer selling presets
A lot of service-based business owners also sell digital products or resources. This might include online courses, templates, presets, workbooks, guides, or other self-paced offers.
If digital products are your main offer, they should be the focus of your services page.
But if they’re in addition to your 1-on-1 services, you may want to mention them briefly on your services page while also linking to a dedicated page, like a Shop, Resources, Templates, Courses, or DIY Resources page.
There’s no one “perfect” services page. The goal is to organize your offers in a way that makes it easy for your audience to understand what you offer, whether it’s the right fit for them, and what step to take next.
Whether you have one signature service, multiple ways to work together, or digital products in the mix, your services page should act as a clear guide – not an overwhelming list of everything you do.
