About Us Page Examples: 6 Annotated Designs for Small Businesses | How-to Guide

Six annotated about us page examples for small businesses, showing founder proof, service area, how you work and the next step. Includes a comparison table, a copyable brief and what not to copy.

<p class="lead text-xl text-[#3a3a3a] mb-8"> A good about us page answers four questions a cautious customer has: who is behind this business, can I check that, do you work where I am, and what happens if I get in touch. The six examples below are designs We.Inc produced from a one-sentence prompt. They are labelled example designs, not real businesses, and every name, credential and year in them is a placeholder you would replace with your own facts. </p>

<h2>How we picked these examples</h2> <p>We chose six trades where trust is earned differently: a plumber (licensing and area), a law firm (credentials), a consultant (method), a career coach (the person), a photographer (style) and a dentist (team and reassurance). Each is judged on four things: <strong>verifiable proof</strong> (can a visitor check the claim), <strong>service area</strong>, <strong>work process</strong> and <strong>next action</strong>. We do not report conversion rates or rankings for any of them, because we have not measured any.</p> <p><strong>Real versus illustrative:</strong> all six are from the We.Inc example library. Any licence number, award, founding year or team photo you see in a template is illustrative. On your live page, use only facts a customer could verify.</p>

<h2>A copyable about page brief</h2> <p>Fill this in with facts only. It is also a good starting prompt if you build with AI.</p> <pre><code>Business name and owner(s): What we do, in one sentence: Where we work (towns/postcodes or "online"): Founded (year) - only if true: Checkable proof (licence no. + register URL, certifications + directory URL): Team: name, role, one line each, real photo? yes/no How a job works (3-4 steps): What a customer should do next (call / book / form): Things we will NOT claim (awards, "best", invented years):</code></pre>

<h2>What to adapt and what not to copy</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Adapt:</strong> structure (story, proof, area, process, action), photo placement, the order of sections.</li> <li><strong>Do not copy:</strong> placeholder founding years, "award-winning" badges, stock team photos or review counts from any template. Unverifiable claims cost trust when a customer checks.</li> <li><strong>Do not</strong> write "we are passionate about quality". Show a process step or a guarantee instead.</li> </ul> <p>For writing help, see <a href="/guides/how-to-create-an-about-page">how to create an about page</a>.

Frequently asked questions

What should an about us page include?

Who runs the business, proof a customer can check (licences, registrations, certifications), where you work, how a job or engagement works, and one clear next step such as call, book or enquire.

Are the examples on this page real businesses?

No. They are example designs We.Inc produced from a one-sentence prompt. Names and details in them are placeholders.

How long should an about page be?

Long enough to answer who, proof, where, how and what next. For most small businesses that is a few short sections, not a long essay.

Yes. The Free plan includes up to 3 template sites on a we.inc address. It has no AI credits and no custom domain; those start on Starter at $20/month.
