You may have heard this before, but I'm going to tell you again. Because good images are so important in today's digital age. You can have an awesome website, great copy and crazy good deals; but if your images are lacking, you're turning customers away.

There are plenty of reasons you need a good photo for your business: for your website, to share on Facebook or other social media, to use on your blog, or for flyers, business cards and other printed advertisements. Whatever the reason, there are some tips and tricks that will help you to take a good photo.

What’s the first thing you do when you need a service, or hear of a business? You Google it, or look it up on Facebook. This is the first thing that almost everyone does, because we live in Technology Land!

There are plenty of templates that you can customise, or you can start from scratch. You can blog from your phone , have an easy to navigate back end or something more serious with wordpress. The options are endless and If you don’t know where to start with your website, it might be best to get someone to walk you through it, step by step.

You’ve got your qualification, and you’re ready to get out into the world of clinical practice. Congrats! But before you start booking in your first clients, there are a few things you’ll want to have in place. 

My first experience at trying to build my own website for my clinic, probably sounds a lot like yours.

My first website was a rushed Wordpress website because that was the platform "everyone said was the best website platform for naturopaths” So I thought how hard could it be, i’ll do it myself. My budget was small so I knew I had to take the DIY route which didn’t scare me that much, because I had used it a few times for whilst working in other industries but honestly. I wanted to throw the laptop out the window. I found the platform frustrating with all the others, the free templates, the paid templates, the plugin options and really, it was and not very intuitive, so I put the project on hold for a very long time. It wasn’t till I went searching for other options I found Wix, my clinic With Wellness was originally built on this which was great for 12 months. I had an embed booking system, an online shop for 500 item Testing and it was easy enough to add things. The huge issue came with the lack of functionality and it was a clunky system for the price I was paying. After a few unsuccessful attempts, a few strong cups of herbal tea I came across Squarespace.
