Therapist Website Design Project
Client: Coastal Narrative – Therapist, Counselling and Coaching
Project Overview: Design a new website for a therapist starting a new practice in North Vancouver. The new website needed to provide a modern look that represents the client, and integrates the online therapist application that they use, create a blog and create a new newsletter mailing list to collect emails. Van Island Web also created and directed an online advertising campaign for the client through Meta ads and Google Ads.

The Project Ask
This client based out of North Vancouver contacted Van Island Web to help them get their business started with a new website. The client needed help with hosting, domain management, architecture design and more. The client also requested online ad campaign services to be able to showcase their new website and business.
- The client needed a full web design consultation and process to determine the requirements and wants for a new website.
- The client needed a sign-up form that would be integrated to their MailChimp mailing list.
- A blog section was required to be added to be able to provide updates and news to website visitors.
The Process
Following a review of the current content that the client had written as well as some design collateral that was available (photos), Van Island Web was able to put together a mock-up that aligned with the clients colour scheme and business identity. As part of the design process, it was determined that a custom email address would be required as part of the project.
- Upon first contact by the client, Van Island Web was able to provide a variety of options that could meet the clients needs at varying costs. Upon further discussion with the client, an approach was agreed upon and a quote and proposal was created and sent to the client.
- After sign-off of the scope and budget, the project moved ahead with an architecture design and visual mock-up of what the proposed website would look like, with feedback gathered and questions answered.
- Upon sign-off of the mock-up by the client, Van Island Web began development of the website in the staging environment, meeting the requirements of the design and building out the infrastructure of the website..
- After completion of the website development, the client reviewed the site for minor changes, and the site was signed off on and ready to launch.
- The client website was launched and appropriate sitemaps submitted to Google to ensure proper indexing.
- An advertising campaign was then designed by Van Island Web to begin outreach for the client's new business and start to gather new clients. A multi stream campaign, including Meta and Google Ads, was created with appropriate assets and launched according to the client budget.
The Solution
Van Island Web was able to launch the new website within weeks of initial engagement, meeting all of the client requests and needs.
- A modern looking, mobile friendly designed website which looks great on any and all devices it's viewed on
- A fully integrated MailChimp sign-up form that seamlessly adds new sign-ups to the client mailing list through a form on the main page of the website.
- Fully managed website hosting and domain management.
- A custom email server hosted through Google Workspace that provides reliable and secure business email.
- Integration of the Jane booking system used by a majority of counsellors and therapists to book and host sessions
- An advertising campaign that includes designed ads for Facebook that are visually striking and include pertinent information to bring users to the new website.
- A Google Ads campaign tailored to the appropriate audience and keywords to make the advertising budget as efficient as possible.
