HOW These Hidden Costs Add Up

Time = Money

Every hour you spend on website updates/maintenance is an hour you can't spend with clients. At $150/hour, even 1-2.5 hours monthly adds up fast.

Lost Opportunities

Poor website design costs you clients. When potential clients can't find what they need or don't trust your site, they move on to another therapist.

Hidden Fees

Templates, professional images, plugins, and add-ons quickly add up. What starts as a "cheap" solution becomes expensive when you need it to actually work.
