Portfolio Showcase: Therapist Website
Creating a Safe Space Online for Mental Health Support
A therapist’s website serves as more than a digital presence—it’s a gateway to comfort, trust, and professional guidance for those seeking help. In this project, we worked with a therapist to design a website that communicates warmth, expertise, and accessibility while ensuring functionality for both current and prospective clients.
Project Goals
The therapist sought a website that would:
- Build Trust and Credibility: Create a design that exudes professionalism and compassion.
- Provide Key Information: Offer clear details about services, credentials, and therapeutic approaches.
- Encourage Bookings: Implement an easy-to-use appointment scheduling system.
- Foster Accessibility: Ensure the website is welcoming and inclusive for all visitors.
Our Approach
To achieve these objectives, we took a human-centered design approach, emphasizing empathy and usability throughout the process:
1. Design Aesthetics:
- A calming color palette of soft blues and greens to evoke a sense of peace and trust.
- Gentle typography with rounded fonts for a warm and approachable feel.
- Subtle use of imagery featuring serene landscapes and smiling faces to create an inviting atmosphere.
2. Intuitive Navigation:
- A straightforward menu structure with sections like “About Me,” “Services,” “FAQs,” and “Contact.”
- Mobile-first design ensuring seamless browsing across all devices.
3. Key Features:
- Online Booking System: Integrated calendar for clients to schedule appointments with automated reminders.
- Resource Library: A section for blog posts, self-help guides, and recommended reading materials.
- Contact Form: A simple yet effective way for visitors to reach out with inquiries.
4. Accessibility Focus:
- Ensured compliance with accessibility standards, including readable fonts, alt text for images, and keyboard-friendly navigation.
- Multi-language support for diverse client needs.
Results
Since launching the website, the therapist has experienced remarkable improvements:
- A 50% increase in client inquiries within the first two months.
- Greater engagement with an average session duration increase of 40%.
- Positive feedback from clients, particularly praising the ease of booking appointments.
Looking to the Future
The next phase includes integrating telehealth features, allowing clients to book and attend virtual sessions directly through the site. This step aims to further enhance convenience and accessibility.
