Website Design for Therapists

I make therapists look as good online as they are in the room.

Custom websites for therapists in private practice. No templates, no Squarespace, no Wix, no compromise.

Your site says the right things. It just doesn't feel like you.

Recent Work

Two practices. Two aesthetics. Both built around the practitioner's voice.

01

Built for your practice.

Every design decision comes from understanding how therapy clients actually search, evaluate, and choose. Not a template. Not a WordPress theme. A site built around your voice, your specialties, and the clients you want to reach.

02

You can update it yourself.

Every site includes a simple editing dashboard. Change your bio, swap your headshot, update your fees. No code, no calling me, no waiting.

03

Fast, findable, and yours.

Your site loads in under a second, ranks on Google from day one, and you own everything. No platform lock-in, no monthly software fees, no plugin anxiety.

Why Design Matters

Your website is the first therapeutic moment.

The therapeutic alliance is the strongest predictor of outcomes,1 and it starts forming before the first session. It starts at your website.

75%

of people judge credibility based on website design alone2

94%

of first impressions on health websites are design-related, not content-related3

50ms

to form an opinion about a website. Visual appeal is the primary driver.4

Your potential clients decide whether they feel safe before they read a single word. That feeling is what I build.

Process

I handle everything. You go at your own pace.

1

Questionnaire

You fill out a short questionnaire about your practice, your ideal client, and the feeling you want your site to evoke.

2

Discovery Call

We have a conversation where we dig into your answers together. This is where your story really comes to life. I learn how you talk about your work, and that's what makes your site sound like you.

3

Build

I design and build your entire site from everything you've shared. I handle the copywriting, or integrate copy you bring yourself. You don't need to make design decisions on the fly or learn any technology.

4

Review

You see the finished site and give feedback. We refine the design and copy together until it feels right.

5

Launch

I handle the domain, deployment, Google Search Console setup, and foundational SEO. Your site is live, fast, and findable.

6

Handoff

I walk you through your editing dashboard. Change your own text, swap photos, update your bio, all without touching code or calling me. If you want ongoing support, we set that up too.

Included

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Every site ships complete. No surprise add-ons, no modules to upgrade, no "Phase 2."

Custom design tailored to your practice and ideal client

Copywriting crafted from your questionnaire and discovery call

SEO structure: geo-targeted pages, meta descriptions, sitemap, Search Console setup

Pages that load instantly — 100/100 on Google's performance test

Booking integration with your EHR (SimplePractice, Jane App, TherapyNotes, etc.)

A simple editing dashboard that only shows what you need. Update text and images yourself, anytime, without the risk of breaking your layout

Privacy-friendly analytics. See which pages are working and how people find you, without tracking your visitors across the internet

Domain setup, hosting configuration, and deployment

Blog-ready from day one. Write posts with the same clean editor you use for everything else. No plugins, no formatting anxiety

One review round with revisions

Every site I build scores 100/100 on Google's performance test. In plain terms: it loads instantly, Google ranks it higher, and visitors don't bounce before they read a word. Most therapist sites score in the 30s.

No templates, no theme limitations, no page-builder backend. Every site is purpose-built for your practice from a blank canvas.

Pricing

Straightforward pricing. No surprises.

Every tier includes custom design, all copywriting, SEO, booking integration, and your editing dashboard.

Other therapist website designers bundle coaching, marketing programs, and 12-month commitments. I don't. You get a website. Period. No programs, no upsells, no monthly coaching calls you didn't ask for.

If your new site brings in two extra clients a month — not unlikely for a site that actually shows up on Google and makes the right first impression — it pays for itself within weeks. After that it just keeps working.

Solo Practitioner

$3,500–$4,500

5–10 pages · 2–3 weeks

Straightforward private practice with core specialties.

Group Practice

$6,000–$8,000+

20+ pages · Scoped after discovery

Multiple clinicians, team bios, complex service matrix.

After Year One

Your site grows with your practice.

Your editing dashboard is always free. Update your own text, swap photos, adjust your bio. No code, no calls, no waiting. First year of hosting is included in every build.

Hosting

$50/month or $500/year

Fast, reliable hosting. Domain, security, and deployment managed for you.

Structural Changes

Flat-fee, quoted before any work begins

New pages, layout redesigns, new features. No hourly billing, no surprises.

Most clients handle day-to-day updates themselves and reach out a few times a year for bigger changes.

About

Evan, designer and developer

I'm Evan.

Designer and technologist. I build websites exclusively for therapists in private practice.

My partner is a therapist, my sister is a therapist, and I've benefitted from therapy in my own life. So when I started building websites for therapists, I already understood the world I was designing for. What therapy clients are feeling when they search for help. What they need to see on a website to take the next step. What makes a practice feel trustworthy before the first session even happens.

Every site I build is custom-coded. Not a template with your name swapped in. Not a WordPress theme with a fresh coat of paint. Built from scratch around your practice, your voice, and the clients you want to reach.

My process is designed to take as little of your time as possible. You share your story. I build the site. You review it once. We're live.
