If you're deciding whether to build your own therapy website or pay someone to do it, this episode gives you a clear way to make the call based on where your practice is right now.
The hard part is that both paths can go wrong. You can lose a month of weekends to a DIY site that still doesn't bring in clients. Or you can hire on price alone and end up redoing the whole thing a year later.
You might think the deciding factor is a nicer template or a better designer. It's the strategy underneath the site, and that's true whether you build it yourself or hire out.
This episode gives you a simple way to know which option fits your practice today, so you can stop second-guessing and move forward.
Key takeaways
- The DIY site that never gets finished is the most expensive kind. It sits at 80% done for months and helps no one.
- Sending ads or SEO traffic to a site that doesn't convert just means more people landing and leaving.
- Picking a web designer on price alone often means paying twice, once now and again when you redo it in a year.
- "Looks good" and "gets clients" are two different goals. A pretty site that doesn't convert still isn't doing its job.
- Before you spend a dollar driving people to your site, make sure it's ready to turn that attention into inquiries.
This episode is brought to you by Helcim
When was the last time you looked at your payment processing statement? A 3% flat rate on one session feels small. Across a full caseload, it adds up to thousands of dollars a year just to accept payments.
Helcim works differently. Instead of a flat rate, they use Interchange Plus pricing, which passes the real bank rate to you plus one clear margin. That cuts processing fees by about 25% on average. No monthly fees, no software fees, no contracts, and full HIPAA compliance. You also get digital invoicing, automatic payment reminders, and cards on file for easy post-session billing.
Start now and your first $5,000 in transactions is completely fee-free. Head tohelcim.com/PPE or click the link in the show notes.
