If you’re a natural wellness practitioner, healer, or holistic therapist, you’ve probably heard people say, “You need a website!” But what does that mean? Why do you need one? And where do you even start?
Don’t worry — we will break this down in the simplest way possible, with no jargon, tech overwhelm, and no fluff.
Let’s Start With the Basics: What Is a Website?
Think of a website like your online home. It’s a space on the internet where people can come and learn about what you do. It’s open 24/7, it never gets tired, and it’s always ready to represent your business.
Imagine someone typing your name or the name of your business into Google. If you’ve got a website, they’ll find it. If you don’t? They might find someone else who does what you do.
The Main Jobs of Your Website (Yes, It Works for You!)
A website isn’t just a digital business card. It has a job to do — actually, several jobs. Here’s what a good website can do for you:
1. Show People What You Offer
Explain your services clearly. Whether you offer reiki, acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, or something else entirely — people want to know exactly what they’re booking.
2. Help People Trust You
Trust is everything. Your website can build trust by showing testimonials, sharing your story, and explaining your qualifications and approach in a friendly way.
3. Make It Easy to Book
Add a simple booking button or calendar so people can schedule directly with you — no back and forth in messages!
4. Answer Questions Automatically
Do people always ask the same questions? (“How much is a session?” or “What should I expect?”) Your website can answer those questions for you.
5. Help You Get Found on Google
When people search for terms like “reflexologist near me” or “homeopathy for anxiety,” your website can show up — if it’s set up correctly. This is called SEO (search engine optimisation), and we’ll talk more about that in another blog.
6. Make You Look More Professional
Let’s be honest — having a website just makes you look like the real deal. It tells people you take your work seriously and you’re running a real business.
Can’t I Just Use Instagram or Facebook Instead?
You can — but here’s the thing:
- Social media is noisy. It’s easy to get lost in the scroll.
- Platforms can shut down or change the rules anytime.
- Not everyone uses social media.
Your website is the one space online that you own. No algorithms. No ads. No distractions.
You can still use Instagram or Facebook to get people’s attention — but your goal should be to send them to your website where they can take action.
What Should Go on My Website?
You don’t need a fancy or complicated site. In fact, the best websites are usually simple. Here’s a basic checklist:
✅ Home Page
A warm welcome. Tell people what you do and how you help.
✅ About Page
Share your story, your values, and your journey. This is your chance to connect.
✅ Services Page
List your treatments or offerings, how they work, and what’s included.
✅ Booking Page
A clear way to book a session (ideally with a calendar).
✅ Testimonials
Let your happy clients do the talking!
✅ Contact Page
Make it super easy to get in touch with you.
Bonus Pages (If You’re Feeling Fancy)
- A Blog to share your knowledge and build trust.
- A Shop if you sell remedies, ebooks, or gift vouchers.
- A Free Resources page to offer lead magnets (like free guides or checklists).
How Much Does a Website Cost?
It depends, but you have options:
- DIY with a tool like WordPress or Wix — more time, but cheaper.
- Hire a professional — faster, polished, and done for you.
At Digital Remedies Hub, we build websites with you, not just for you. So you’re never left confused or overwhelmed.
But I’m Not Techy! Can I Still Have a Website?
Absolutely. If you can write a message on WhatsApp, you can manage a simple website with a bit of support.
We’ll guide you through it step-by-step. You don’t need to know coding, hosting, or any other complicated stuff.
A Real-Life Example: Sarah the Reflexologist
Sarah had an Instagram page with 400 followers. But she kept getting messages like:
- “How do I book?”
- “What do you do?”
- “Is this the right treatment for me?”
Once Sarah launched her website, all of that changed. People could read about her services, feel reassured, and book directly. Her bookings doubled in 2 months — just from having a clear, welcoming, easy-to-use website.
Final Thoughts: Your Website Is Your Foundation
If you only do one thing for your business this month — build a website.
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to exist.
Start simple. Keep it clear. And remember: it’s not just about looking good — it’s about helping people find you and trust you.
