Understanding Website Design for Therapists with Daragh McLaughlin Key Takeaways: Ensuring Your Website’s Future:Your website is an essential part of your practice. By taking the right steps and asking the right questions, you can ensure that it remains a valuable asset as your business grows. Red Flags When Choosing a Web Designer:Be aware of slow response times, lack of a formal contract, and poor communication. These are signs that a web design company may not be the best fit for your needs. Understanding Digital Assets:Your website is a valuable digital asset that supports your practice. Ensuring you maintain control over your domain name is crucial for long-term stability. Importance of Domain Ownership:Always ensure that the domain name is registered in your name. Domain ownership issues can cause serious problems if you need to switch providers. Clear Communication and Project Milestones:From the very beginning, establish clear communication expectations. Understand the project timeline, progress updates, and how to contact your designer with any concerns. Ongoing Support and Website Access:Make sure your web designer provides ongoing support and you have administrative access to your website. This ensures that you can manage updates or make changes without relying solely on the designer.
