WordPress Examples: Top WordPress Websites by categories. WordPress can be used in many different ways not only Just a blogging platform. WordPress has been used by top websites for a long time. In recent years it is being adapted by lots of top brands to either for their blog or their main websites or product pages.

• An example would be a site that has an online shop on its site, but its shop isn’t necessarily a main part of its site. It’s just one part of it. The site would have its main website and a second ecommerce website built with WordPress, and multisite would allow the user to navigate from the site to the shop without actually having to leave.
• Another WordPress example website is the official online hub of global pop star Katy Perry. It includes everything from tour dates and news to a merchandise shop and videos. The design is both colorful and edgy, which is reflective of the musician’s brand.

As far as minimal design goes, The Cool Club is one of the best samples WordPress sites we could find! It features beautifully designed card games and wall art. They draw from pop culture, such as Star Wars and deceased celebrities. It’s also an especially neat example because it’s using WordPress for the backend, with lots of JavaScript on top (kind of like TechCrunch)

Here’s what we like:

• Their design is very modern and minimalistic, with clean, organized formatting.
• They feature their best sellers on their homepage, and their shop page is easy to navigate using their clear navbar.

Here’s what we like:

• It’s an interactive site! You can navigate the fonts using the ⬅ and ➡ keys or by typing a letter in to see what it would look like in their font.
• The design is all on one page – there is no scrolling.
• The mobile version of the site works just as well as the desktop version – maybe even better!

Theme used: Custom theme

8. The Obama Foundation

Of all the sample WordPress sites on this list, this is the one with the brand you’re most likely to have heard of! The Obama Foundation is a Chicago-based nonprofit that oversees the Barack Obama Presidential Center and operates a scholarship.

• They highlight the pain point, share their approach to the problem, then share the results they’ve gotten for their customers right on the homepage.
• Their case studies are highlighted on the home page, which has been shown to build trust and increase conversions.
• They offer a flexible price model. You’re able to choose from fixed price, price-per-order, or a combination of the two! This strategy has been shown to increase conversions of the middle offer.

10. Smart Chameleon

Smart Chameleon is a digital agency that creates “complex digital solutions” for their clients. In addition to the base theme that Smart Chameleon uses, they also use the Elementor page builder for most of the design work, and this is one of the best sample WordPress sites you’ll find using Elementor (that’s why it ranked #1 in the monthly Elementor showcase post!).

Here’s what we like:

• It has a stylish design without sacrificing any functionality.
• The box around the Start A Project button does a great job of highlighting the primary CTA.
• The portfolio section includes a neat Flip Card approach.
