5 Snazzy IT Websites to Shamelessly Loot for Ideas
You really weren’t going to try to run an IT business without a website, were you? Fair or not, your clients are going to be holding you to a very high standard when it comes to your online face. They expect your website to reflect every fancy buzzword they’ve ever read, even if they couldn’t provide strong example of what “interactivity” means with 24-hours’ notice and a study guide. They’ll know it “when they see it”—and they better see it if you want their business.
If your own website is looking a little lackluster, you may want to look to others for inspiration. There are a ton of great IT websites out there, and it would be our pleasure to introduce you to some of the best examples. They say imitation is highest form of flattery, so get ready to flatter your way to success. If you want to catch attention, websites like these are your role models.
Boston IT Services
bostonitservices.com
Simple & smart at the same time is possible, as this Boston IT website demonstrates. The plain white background just serves to draw attention to the sharply contrasting black images. They want people to know that they’re in the right place without even having to think about it, so they’ve included some tasteful and attention-grabbing pictures of modern technology. They want clients to think “I have no idea what I’m looking at, but these kids clearly do”, and that’s just the reaction you want from your own site.
Server Logic
serverlogic.com
Here’s a website that inspires tech-related confidence. Great images, sliding galleries and an attractive layout work to create confidence that these professionals know what they’re doing when it comes to technology. The clean layout will definitely appeal to those clients who care most about professionalism. Note the unique structure of the site navigation at the top. This isn’t the model that most websites use, but there are clear advantages to it when it comes to clients who want to find what they’re looking for immediately.
BESTRUCTURED

Our previous two examples were great models to use for your own IT website, but they both lacked something that you’ll find here: Great colors. Visitors expect clean websites, but that should never mean a boring website. This one hooks visitors immediately with sharp contrasting colors. There are a lot of pleasing interactive features to enjoy, such as the bouncing menus superimposed on the pictures and the transparent but easily-readable navigation menu.
SARAI

Here’s another great IT services website that shows you how to take advantage of color. The sliding gallery of images is large and attractive, and care obviously went into making the colors in each of the rotating pictures match the color scheme of the website. Visitors can easily find the services they’re looking for through the menu at the top, or the selections below the images.
Whizkids

If customers already have an impression of you, why not fulfill their expectations by owning it? People don’t expect IT professionals to look like brawny hunks—they expect them to look like the kids they took lunch money from on the playground (Don’t feel bad, successful business like these are proof that the nerds always win in the end). Add that to the great colors, attractive menus and bold type, and you have the best-looking IT website on this list.
