WEBSITES FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE · 2026 THERAPISTS & MEDICAL PRACTICES
A Leachie promotion · for private practice
Your practice’s website should be bringing you clients.
Three things, and then you can stop thinking about your website.
01
Built for you
Not a template you fill in yourself in the evenings. A real website built around your practice and the clients you want, live on your own domain in about two weeks.
02
Looked after
Security kept current and watched for attacks — the same systems across every site we run — plus daily backups and regular check-ups. You will never get the call that your site is down.
03
Grown
We set it up to be found when people search for help near you, and keep growing it with you, so over time more of them arrive on their own.
Spring launch campaign · held to 1 Dec 2026
Spring launch pricing for our first practices: one fixed price to build it, one small monthly to keep it running — held until 1 December.

The version worth protecting
Doors open. Calendar filling.
Picture the launch going right: a practice that looks established from day one, referrals that survive the ten-second Google check, and enquiries arriving while you’re in session.
That is what the website is actually for. Not decoration — a quiet colleague who introduces you properly to every person who looks you up, at any hour, and turns the ones who feel ready into enquiries in your inbox.
And further out: enough of the right clients that your hours, your caseload and your Friday afternoons stay your call. A practice that serves your life, not the other way around.
The site’s job
Working while you’re in session.
What that looks like — a real rebuild, live now

The other version
The most expensive item on the list to get wrong.
The real risk to a practice isn’t a bad website — it’s delayed momentum. Every week spent fighting a template is a week of empty slots, while the rent runs anyway.
And a glitchy, half-finished site quietly turns away your very first would-be clients before they ever book a consultation. You never find out they came and left.
Even your referrals aren’t safe: word-of-mouth still starts the journey, but it no longer finishes it.
The risk
Every week not live is a week of empty slots.
How a warm referral dies
01A GP or a friend gives someone your name
02They Google you before they call — everyone does now
03They find a dated site, a directory row — or nothing
04The referral quietly dies. You never know it existed.
What they find in those ten quiet seconds decides whether the referral survives. A good site doesn’t just win strangers — it protects the referrals you already earned.

Why now
The way clients find a therapist has changed.
Launching or running a practice today plays by different rules than five years ago. Four shifts worth knowing before you decide how to handle the website.
You’re Googled before you’re booked — even a warm referral searches your name before calling. What they find decides whether the referral survives
Online therapy is permanent — a well-presented practice is no longer confined to its suburb — and clients now compare you with the best-presented practice they can find, not the nearest one
Private-pay is growing — more clients pay cash and claim back from medical aid themselves — and those clients choose the practice that presents like the premium option
Directories are saturated — a listing puts you on page 15 next to hundreds of near-identical profiles — rented attention on a page you will never own
What this means
Own the place where you’re chosen.
In this world the practices that win own their web presence: a site that is genuinely theirs, found in local searches, and quietly working at 21:00 — the hour someone finally feels ready to reach out.
Leachie · Cape TownThe changed world04 / 14
Leachie
WEBSITES FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE · 2026 THERAPISTS & MEDICAL PRACTICES
Why it matters
Your website is where you’re chosen.
For most new clients, your website is the first time they “meet” you — before the call, before the first session. In a few quiet seconds they decide whether they feel safe enough to reach out.
To win one client
≈ R600
What it costs to reach one — ads, directories, your time.
One who stays
≈ R10 000+
Not one session — a course of 12–20 visits. (Illustrative.)
So a good site
Pays for itself
A handful of extra enquiries a year beats its whole cost.
Being found is only half of it. Directories like Psychology Today list you — but everyone is on them and every profile looks much the same. Your own website is the one place you are genuinely chosen, in your words, on your terms — and unlike an advert you switch off, it works around the clock. We build yours around your practice and the clients you actually want, not pulled off a shelf.
We build it, then we grow it with you.
01We build it. Live on your own domain in about two weeks.
02We keep it running. Hosting, security, backups and your changes — handled.
03We help it grow. As your practice grows, the site grows with you.
Leachie · Cape TownWhy it matters05 / 14
Leachie
WEBSITES FOR PRIVATE PRACTICE · 2026 THERAPISTS & MEDICAL PRACTICES
For the practice you trained for
You didn’t train for six years to look like a hobbyist online.
Your website is the first impression colleagues and clients get of your work — and it should carry the same standard you do, from the moment a referral looks you up.
01
Chosen first
While other practices sit in identical directory rows, yours is the name that comes back clean, confident and unmistakably you — the obvious choice in your area.
02
Every slot earning
One client who stays is a course of visits, not a single fee — so every enquiry the site captures compounds, and open slots stop being money left on the table.
03
A practice that serves your life
The point of going private: your hours, your ideal clients, your Friday afternoons. The site’s job is to keep the calendar full enough that those stay your call.
Said honestly, the goal is the opposite problem to the one most new practices fear: enough of the right enquiries that a waiting list — and your rates — become decisions you get to make.

How it works
You see it before you pay.
No deposit to start and no guesswork — we build the real thing first, and you only pay once it’s right. Here is how a project runs.
01
A real preview, free
We build a working preview of your site on our own link — no cost, no obligation. You click through the real thing on your phone.
02
You tell us what to change
Look at it properly. Like it? Want it different? Send us your notes — wording, photos, anything.
03
We get it right
We make the changes until it feels like your practice. Two rounds of revisions are included.
04
Only then do you pay
Happy? A deposit books the launch on your own domain — usually about two weeks. You have already seen exactly what you are paying for.

The maths
One client a month pays for it.
A private session brings in around R1 250. The whole website — built for you, hosted, secured, looked after monthly — costs well under one session a month. Here is the arithmetic, plainly.
One session brings in
≈ R1 250
What a single private visit typically earns. (Illustrative.)
The whole site, monthly
R850
Maintain: hosted, secured, checked — and an hour of our time, every month.
The build, once
R3 500
A brand-new site — or R2 500 to rebuild the one you have.
And the payback line is low: one client a month and the site has covered itself — a client who stays is a course of 12–20 visits, not one fee. (Session figures illustrative; R1 100–R1 900 is typical.)

Pricing
What it costs.
A once-off fee to build the site, then a small monthly to keep it running. Every price is fixed and agreed before any work starts — no hourly surprises.

Group & medical practices
One website for the whole practice.
A shared, branded site with a page for each practitioner — priced by practice size, not per person. A small associate practice starts at R6 500 + R1 250/mo; a typical four-to-six-practitioner practice is R7 500 + R1 750/mo; larger rooms by quote.
Every build includes a light brand tidy-up (colour, type, logo). A care plan from R450/mo (over the page) keeps it running, and you own everything — code, content and domain. Work beyond your plan is quoted first, at R1 000/hr.

What happens if I cancel?
Stop anytime — no contract. The site, content and web address are yours: host them elsewhere, or leave them with us switched off and turn back on whenever.
Can I change things myself?
Yes — your words, prices and photos, edited anytime through a simple control panel. No dev, no waiting.
