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 Wordpress, no Wix.

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

Recent Work

Every practitioner has their own presence. The website should make it unmistakable.

01

Built for your practice.

Every design decision starts from how therapy clients actually search for and choose a therapist. The result is built around your voice, your specialties, and the people you want to reach.

02

You can update it yourself.

Every site includes a simple editing dashboard. Change your bio, swap a headshot, or update your fees yourself, without writing code or waiting on me.

03

Fast, findable, and yours.

Your site is built to load quickly and ships with the technical foundation for search and AI discovery. At launch, on final payment, all of it becomes yours, with no platform lock-in.

Why Design Matters

Your website is the first therapeutic moment.

The therapeutic alliance is the strongest predictor of outcomes,1 and it begins 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.

A good website helps shape your caseload. It makes your work clear enough that the right people can recognize themselves in it. That means more inquiries from people who are genuinely drawn to how you work.

Process

I do the heavy lifting. You bring the parts only you can.

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

Copy Review

We go through the copy together on a call. Where a line does not sound like you, I have other versions ready, drawn from things you actually said, so we try them on right there. You never go away with homework.

5

Site Review

I send you the built site on a private link a few days before we talk, so you have time to sit with it. This is the last look before it goes live.

6

Launch

I handle the domain, deployment, Search Console setup, and the technical search foundation. Your site is live, fast, and properly set up for search and AI discovery.

7

Handoff

I walk you through your editing dashboard. Change your own text, swap photos, update your bio, all without touching code or calling me. Your first year of hosting and care is included, and I'll show you what happens after that.

Included

Every site ships complete.

No surprise add-ons, and nothing held back for a later phase.

Custom design tailored to your practice and ideal client

Copywriting crafted from your questionnaire and discovery call

Search and AI discovery foundation: semantic page structure, metadata, sitemap and indexing setup, structured data, redirects, and Search Console.

Pages engineered to load quickly, so visitors aren’t left waiting before they read a word.

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

Two review calls with revisions from both. The first is on the copy, the second on the built site.

Performance is part of the build, not an add-on. The site is engineered to load quickly and give search engines a clean technical foundation.

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 Stillpoint engagement includes the design, the writing, the technical foundation, and the handoff. There isn’t a stripped-down website price followed by a list of things you discover you also need.

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

Search and AI discovery aren’t separate add-ons either. The technical foundation is built into the site: performance, structured content, indexing, redirects, analytics, and the infrastructure needed for search engines and AI systems to understand it. Ongoing local marketing, if you want it, is your decision to make.

Independent Practice

$5,000–$6,500

Most solo and independent-practice engagements. Custom design, copywriting, development, search foundation, analytics, booking and inquiry integration, and editing tools.

Group / Complex Practice

Scoped individually

Multiple clinicians, unusual content architecture, migrations, or materially larger scope. The same complete foundation, scoped around the actual complexity of the practice.

What changes the price within that range is the amount of original thinking and structure the site requires: how many distinct services need to be articulated, how much copy is being developed from scratch, and whether the practice needs additional geographic or technical complexity.

Additional location pages can be added later without rebuilding the site. They’re scoped separately when you need them.

After Launch

Launch isn’t goodbye.

Your first year of Hosting and Care is included. You can edit text and images yourself from day one, and the site and accounts remain yours.

Hosting and Care

$50/month or $500/year after the first year

Keeps the site delivered at launch operating: hosting, DNS, TLS certificates, deployment, security and dependency maintenance, and the existing CMS and integrations. If delivered functionality breaks—or a platform change would otherwise break it—restoring that functionality is covered.

Your Site Stays Yours

Registered in your name

Your domain, hosting account, and content management account are yours. You can update your own text and images. If you leave Stillpoint, the site and accounts remain yours, and Stillpoint removes itself as an administrator on written request at no charge.

Bigger Changes

Flat-fee, quoted before work begins

New pages, copy rewrites, design or layout changes, new features, integrations, and search or content-strategy work are scoped separately. Additional location pages can be added later without rebuilding the site.

If something breaks, a person answers.

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. I knew what clients feel when they go looking for help, and what a practice has to show them before they'll book a first session.

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 for your practice and the people you want to reach.

My process is designed so your time goes to the parts that actually need you. You share your story and judgment; I handle the writing, design, build, and technical work. You review the copy, then the finished site. We’re live.

Ready to talk?

Email me at evan@stillpoint.design. No intake forms or sales calls. Just tell me about your practice and what you're looking for.
