About Me pages on websites, blogs, and social media can be dry and boring when they follow a standard format. If you want to create an unforgettable page for yourself or your company, start by checking out some of the best examples of About Me pages on the web.

Creative Company About Us Pages

An About Us company profile can be found on almost any company’s website. This professional biography gives customers the chance to understand what a company is all about. Because they’re created by huge teams, company profiles are often among some of the best About Me page examples.

HubSpot

HubSpot is an inbound marketing growth platform for businesses. Their About Us company page looks innovative, clean, and well organized, everything you’d want from a company in this business. Their short mission statement takes center stage followed by curved line designs and a very clear description of what the company’s all about.

They end with a memorable quote from founder Dharmesh Shah that reads:

Success is making those who believed in you look brilliant.

Reddit

Reddit is all about community engagement in conversations. Their fun About Us page features their iconic logo and mission statement front and center on a simple, yet striking background.

The conversation starts here.

They spell out exactly how to use their site and show off the founders in wacky cartoon form rather than using traditional bio photos.

Twitter

Social media giant Twitter has a great About Us page that almost feels like you’re actually using their product as you learn about them. When you open the About Us page, text begins to fill in at the top of your screen spelling out the company’s purpose:

What’s happening in the world and what people are talking about right now.

Large images, a plethora of examples of everything from hashtags to actual Twitter pages, and rolling text make the whole experience feel interactive.

LEGO

No children’s toy company could be complete without a fun About Us page. Toy and entertainment giant LEGO shows off kids, fun, and creativity. Large images of kids having fun take up most of the page while sparse text tells you all you need to know about LEGO’s mission.

As children shape their own worlds with LEGO bricks, we play our part in having a positive impact on the world they live in today and will inherit in the future.

The final image is a world map made of LEGO bricks to drive home their message of “building” a better world.

About Me Page Dos

When creating your personal or company About Me page, show off what makes you special.

Do:

  • Be yourself. Originality is what makes you unforgettable.
  • Be innovative. Look for ways to display text, images, or video that are new.
  • Be concise. The more you can say in fewer words, the better.
  • Be comprehensive. Every aspect of your page should say something about you.
  • Tell your story. Your origins and background are part of what makes you unique.
  • Show and tell. Use a variety of formats to showcase who you are and what you do.

About Me Page Don’ts

Your About Me page should be unique to you, but most About Me pages should avoid a few things.

Don’t:

  • Use a standard format. Think outside-the-box for exciting ways to display your information.
  • Copy an idea. No matter how much you love it, copying someone else doesn’t show you as unique.
  • Present heavy text. No one wants to spend a ton of time reading an essay about you on this page.
  • Forget who you are. Forget trends. Be authentic to who you really are at all times.
