Design is a process, and good design takes time. Each website by Design for Therapists is customized to your unique personality and style. Finding the right colors, imagery, graphics and features that represent you and speak to your ideal clients may take some back and forth as ideas blossom and take shape. I’ve had some sites take as little as a month and others as much as a year, but typically the average website for therapists takes about three months from start to finish. If you are clear on your ideas and have all your content prepared, the process is usually faster.

I do not do website copywriting. Graphic design and copywriting are two different sets of expertise and skills. I am glad to help you organize your text and make recommendations to optimize it for search engines, but I do not write the text from scratch. If writing is not your strong suit, I can refer you to copywriting colleagues who offer writing services geared toward therapists.

My services are a one time cost for designing the site and there is no ongoing fee with me once your site is complete. There are general costs for having a website such as domain name registration (usually around $15/year) and hosting (around $5-$10/month) which you would pay to a third party company (something like Bluehost or GoDaddy.) If you need assistance with your site such as adding new features or pages, I am available on an project basis at an hourly rate.

At this time, I’m only doing updates on sites that I have built myself. I charge $100/hour for updates/additions with a minimum 1/2 hour charge.

If you have a website already and are looking to modernize it or add to it, many times it’s more efficient to do a redesign rather than trying to update an older site. Here’s a detailed explanation of why a redesign is usually necessary. If you’re interested in a redesign, definitely reach out.

Can you design a website for my group practice?

Yes, 100%! I love designing websites for therapy group practices. And I have had lots of experience upgrading sites that began for solo practitioners and then grew into group practices.

Can you design a logo for my private practice?

Yes, definitely! Some people who contact me already have a logo, but if you don’t I’m glad to design one that feels cohesive with the rest of your website for a small additional charge.

Can you design printed materials?

Yes, absolutely! I’m happy to help you extend your brand into all types of printed media including postcards, business cards, letterhead, flyers, posters, stickers, etc. Just let me know what you need and I’ll provide you an estimate.

When I first started out as a website designer over twenty years ago, I worked with clients in a variety of fields. However, after becoming a therapist myself, my design business has shifted towards primarily designing websites for a wide variety of helping professionals including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, coaches, speech therapists and psychics. I like this niche because I feel like I know it intimately having experienced the challenges of growing my own private practice.

That being said, if you are in a different field, shoot me an email – I might like the variety!

Yes, I can design a website for anyone in the world. I am based in Philadelphia, but I’m glad to work with folks across the United States and beyond.

Once your site is launched, I’m glad to schedule a time with you for a Zoom tutorial where I will share my screen and walk you through how to make basic edits to your site. If your site has a blog, I’ll show you how to add blog posts.

Once you understand the WordPress interface it’s usually fairly straight forward for people to make basic changes. I’m also available on an hourly basis for any edits/additions that are beyond your interest or ability to do yourself.

There are a lot of options available to you these days to create a website for your private practice – it can be overwhelming! I am the best fit for you if you are looking for a customized site that looks like it was built just for you, representing you and your unique private practice. I view each site as a mini work of art and love pushing the bounds of creativity to try something new so that your site has a personal touch and doesn’t feel generic. I will walk you through the process personally and give you guidance once the site is complete. If you are looking for an affordable, one-of-a-kind website for your private practice, let’s chat »
