Powerful Branding Beats Photos Every Time – See These Examples

No Photoshoot? No Problem: Let Your Branding Do the Talking 🔥

Not every website needs beautiful images of people or places to make an impact. In fact, some of the most memorable websites out there skip photos entirely and instead rely on the strength of their branding, assets and colours.

Here are three standout examples doing this brilliantly:

✅ Stacks AI by Netlify: With dynamic, animated shapes inspired directly by their logo, this site beautifully integrates branding elements into every interaction. From subtle movements on scroll to cohesive colour use, it feels innovative, professional and perfectly branded.

✅ Click Therapeutics: Video-driven, this site uses abstract shapes, lines and striking colours to tie everything together. It feels unified and cohesive without relying on traditional photography. Massive, modern fonts also deliver clarity and immediate impact.

✅ Era-FX (Webflow): Bold and distinct, Era-FX uses captivating animated elements that drop in seamlessly. The vibrant colours from their branding recur throughout the site, creating a consistent, engaging experience that requires zero photography.

I’m exploring this direction in my current projects too - leveraging branding, animations and unique shapes rather than standard photos. The result? A highly memorable, fully branded experience that sticks in visitors’ minds.

You don’t always need a photoshoot. Sometimes, powerful branding is all you need to create a truly standout website.
