Thinking of Changing Your Practice Website? Start Here.

Either can work well. WordPress offers flexibility but needs regular updates and plugin care. Wix is easier to manage yourself but often relies on separate apps. For most naturopaths, the better question is which setup lets clients find you, book easily and hear from you, without taking up your evenings.

The guides above walk through the quiet costs on each platform so you can weigh them for your own practice. If you love your current site and it brings in bookings, there's no need to change.

Not if the move is done carefully. Keep your domain, move your content, and set up redirects from every old page address to its new one. Google says rankings can fluctuate for a while during any site move as it recrawls your site, so plan the move and keep watching afterwards.

The most common cause of lost rankings is skipping redirects or deleting pages that people and Google were already finding. A simple spreadsheet of old and new page addresses goes a long way. See the Google Search Central guidance on site moves.

It depends on how many pages and services you have, and how quickly you can review drafts. A small practice website with a handful of pages is far quicker than a large site with years of blog posts. Allow time for writing, reviewing, testing and a few weeks of watching afterwards.

PractitionerPro builds are usually live about six weeks after your Blueprint session.

Yes, in almost every case. Your domain name is separate from the platform your website runs on. You can usually point it at your new website, or transfer it to a new registrar if you'd like everything in one place.

If you bought your domain through Wix, Squarespace or your web host, it still belongs to you. It just needs a few settings changed, and it's worth doing this carefully so your email keeps working. With PractitionerPro, our team guides you through the domain change.

Squarespace is lovely for design and easy to keep looking polished. The main things to check are whether people can find you on Google, how your bookings work (often through a separate tool such as Acuity) and whether anything follows up with people who aren't ready to book.

The Squarespace guide above includes a two-minute self-check to help you see where your site stands.

The best platform is the one that helps clients find you, understand how you help and book easily, and that you can look after without stress. Look for clear service pages, online bookings, automatic welcome emails and support you can call on, rather than a list of features.

Every practice is different. If you're happy and well supported where you are, staying put is a perfectly good choice.

No. Your existing words, photos and blog posts can come with you. With PractitionerPro, our team moves your content across for you, using smart AI tools built into PractitionerPro, so you don't have to copy and paste anything or start from scratch. You simply review it and tell us what you'd like changed.

Many practitioners also use a move as a chance to refresh their copy and give each service its own page. If you'd like that, we write it with you from a live session about your practice, so everything still sounds like you.

Yes. You don't need to do it yourself. At PractitionerPro, our team moves your existing content for you, with help from smart AI tools built into the platform, so there's no copying and pasting on your part. We reconnect your bookings and test everything, while you review and approve the result.

Real people do the work and check every page. The AI simply helps us move your words and photos across carefully. If you'd like to talk it through, a Free Practice Review.
