Build customer loyalty

Finally, it will also allow you to build customer loyalty by creating a community on the internet. This increases your presence in people’s minds and gives you access to their opinions, feelings and recommendations.

You can diversify your business by creating social media accounts, frequently asked questions, a forum or even a blog. Which will create a strong relationship with your clients.

A successful therapist website in three steps

When you start building your website, you will see that it is not complicated to adapt it to Google's algorithms and the user requirements.

For this, here is the first step: SEO.

Boost your ranking

SEO will allow your website to be visible on the search engines. It is also an indicator of relevance and quality, both for users and for Google's algorithms.

👉 So, to rank your website well and gain visibility easily, here are some tips that can be applied immediately:

• Optimize your local ranking

For a job like yours, you need to attract local visitors interested in your service.

That's why you need to work on the local SEO of your site. So specify your district, your city, your region.

Thus, you will appear in the results for potential customers near you.

• Caption your images

If you add pictures of your office or stock images to illustrate your site and emphasize the serenity, remember to caption your images.

This will also allow you to be ranked in Google images, which can help you gain visibility.

• Check the speed of your website

Regularly check that your website loads fast, ideally in less than three seconds, and that all your pages are legible and correctly built. This will ensure that your website is working perfectly and meets the expectations of Google and users.

But, with SiteW, you don't have to worry too much...

• Add a FAQ section or a Blog

Finally, you may want to consider expanding your site to create a FAQ page or a Blog. For example, you can create a FAQ section to explain what service you offer, what your job is,  how much an appointment costs...

👉 A blog can also allow you to get into the details of your business and inform readers so they can become more interested in personal development. This way, you create an expert image with your clients.

Indeed, this last point is part of the overall user experience that makes your website easy to browse, complete and attractive.

So, to continue in this direction, here are the features to add.

Improve the user experience of your site

Usability and user experience are essential to create a website easy to navigate and, thus, retain users.

For that, they must use tools that allow them to quickly read the information on your website, and where to look for it.

To optimize the user experience, here are some features to add: 👇

• The Menu block

The Menu block allows you to display buttons that lead to the pages of your website. This way, users will be able to go directly to the content they are interested in, such as your agenda or your contact page.

• The Button block

The Button block allows you to add a button that can be customized and configured. It can allow users to discover your job, find out about your office, make an appointment...

This button must be highlighted to be used by users.

• The Calendar block

This block allows you to display either a calendar or a schedule.

This can allow you to display the opening hours of your business or your vacation dates. This block is easily configurable and can be placed anywhere on your pages.

•  The contact form

Finally, you can integrate a contact form to allow users to make an appointment or ask you questions.

Here again, this block adapts perfectly to your desires, as much in its design as in its functionality.

Ta-da ! 🎉

Your site is ready to welcome visitors and give them all the information they need.

Now, the last part: the look and feel of your sophrology site.

Adopt the perfect design

Web design is also a crucial component to ensure the success of your website.

Fortunately, we provide you with specific blocks to improve and modernize the design of your website without difficulty:

• Icons and illustrations

These blocks allow you to access free icons and vectors. You can customize them in terms of colors to adapt them to your graphic charter, and even make them clickable.

• The color palette

In the Design section, you can modify the color palette to match the main colors of your website. You can choose a popular palette, and be inspired by it or adopt it for your site.

• Strips and shapes

Finally, the Strip and Shape blocks allow you to add graphic elements to customize and place on your therapist website. This can allow you to highlight your design elements such as buttons or photos, or to separate your contents in the case of an online portfolio, for example.

 With all this, you can create a therapist website without any hassle or stress.

Now it's up to you!
