Web design for massage therapists
I design and build websites for massage clinics that help clients pick the right therapist and session, see whether insurance applies, and book in a few taps.

Send me your site. I’ll record a short video on what works, what doesn’t, and what I’d change first.
How clients choose
Massage clients choose on three things: whether their benefits cover it, whether the therapist does the kind of work they need, and whether there is an opening this week. Some want deep tissue for a sore back, others want a calm hour. The site has to separate therapeutic from relaxation clearly and get people into a calendar quickly.

What people type before they choose. Each of these deserves a clear answer somewhere on your site, usually its own page.
Pages your site needs
The pages I plan for almost every massage clinic website, and why each one earns its place.
A bio per therapist
Techniques, focus areas and pressure style. Clients often stay with one therapist for years.
Massage types
Therapeutic, deep tissue, prenatal, sports, lymphatic. Each with who it suits and what to expect.
Rates and session lengths
Thirty, sixty and ninety minute sessions shown clearly with how receipts work.
Insurance and receipts
Direct billing, what a receipt includes and whether a doctor’s note is sometimes needed.
Gift cards
A good way for new clients to find you, especially around holidays. Worth its own page.
First visit and etiquette
Intake, draping, communication about pressure. It reassures people who have never had a massage.
What builds trust
The signals that move someone from browsing to choosing a massage clinic.
Registration on each bio
Registered status and the association or college, where applicable in your province.
Professional boundaries
A clear policy page on conduct and draping, which signals a therapeutic clinic.
Calm, real photography
The actual treatment rooms and lighting, not spa stock imagery.
Clear cancellation policy
Stated plainly before booking, so there are no surprises.
The conversion path
Primary action: Book a massage with a specific therapist.
Fallback: Buy a gift card.
Booking should open straight to the therapist and session length the client chose. Gift cards sit as a second, always-visible path, since some first visits begin as a gift.
Common mistakes
What I see most often when I review sites in this field.
Spa language for therapeutic work
Pampering copy confuses clients who want treatment for an injury and undermines insurance trust.
No therapist detail
Clients who prefer firm or gentle pressure cannot tell who to book.
Prices behind the booking wall
Making clients start a booking just to see rates sends them elsewhere.
Ignoring evening availability
After-work slots are what many clients want. Show when they exist.
Features worth building
Jane App booking
Per therapist and per session length, with new and returning clients handled cleanly.
Online gift cards
Sold through your booking or payment system and redeemable at the front desk.
Technique filter
Filter therapists by technique, such as prenatal, sports or myofascial.
Websites for massage therapists: common questions
Yes. Clients compare rates and session lengths before they book, and many check what their benefits will cover per visit. A simple table of session lengths and rates, with notes on receipts and direct billing, answers the question once. Hiding prices inside the booking flow usually costs more bookings than it saves.
Language and photography do most of it. I write about assessment, treatment and communication instead of pampering, and use photos of your actual rooms. A clear conduct policy and registration on every bio finish the job. Clients who want therapeutic work then recognize the clinic straight away.
For most clinics, yes. They can bring new clients through people who already trust you, and they tend to be popular around the holidays. I connect them to your booking or payment system so redemption is simple at the front desk, and give them a dedicated page that is easy to share.
It depends on your province and whether massage is regulated there. Where a college oversees massage therapy, testimonials are often restricted. Where it is not, associations may still have guidance. Check what applies to you; I lean on clear bios, photos and policies instead, which build trust without the risk.
