An art therapist’s website with a soul

Anabell is a certified art therapist in Amsterdam. Before us she had only Instagram. We built a website on her own paintings where a client chooses a session format and books in a few minutes.

+30–40% bookings Live in 1 month 8 session formats

The task

What the client came with

Starting point

The whole practice ran on Instagram. People asked about formats and prices in direct messages, and anyone searching Google for an art therapist in Amsterdam did not find Anabell.

People choose a therapist with their heart: a client has to feel safe before the first meeting. A template therapist website kills that feeling.

Goals

  • Convey the atmosphere of Anabell’s work, not "another therapist website"
  • Explain art therapy in plain words
  • Show every session format with in-person and online prices
  • Book a session without messaging in Direct
  • Bring clients from Google, not only from Instagram
Before and after

Instagram only → a website of her own

BeforeInstagram only
  • Prices and formats only in direct messages
  • Not found on Google
  • Every booking by messaging back and forth
  • No calm place to explain the method
AfterHer own website
  • 8 session formats with in-person and online prices
  • A separate page for each format, built for search
  • Booking through a form on the site
  • 30–40% more bookings
Solution

What we built

A website in English for clients in the Netherlands and online: warm, simple and uncluttered.

Design built on her paintings

Anabell’s own artwork instead of stock photos. The site is recognisable from the first screen and feels like her, not a template.

What art therapy is

The method explained in plain words, without medical terms. People understand what to expect from the first session.

8 methods

Drawing, mandalas, metaphoric cards, fairy tales, sand play, photo therapy, clay sculpting, collage.

10 issues she helps with

Stress, relationships, confidence, fears, habits. Clients recognise their situation and see they are in the right place.

Session catalogue with prices

Individual, couple, family and group sessions, the "Tree of Life" method, a picnic and a corporate programme. In-person and online prices are visible straight away.

Booking form

A "Book a Session" button on every screen leads to a short form. The request reaches Anabell without messaging in Direct.

The hard part

Convey warmth and simplicity instead of selling

A therapist’s site cannot push like a landing page full of offers. It has to feel warm and calm and still lead to a booking. We looked for the balance between atmosphere and a clear path to a session.

What we decided against: pushy calls to action and timers

No "only 2 spots left" and no pop-ups. The language is calm, the colours come from her paintings, and the booking button is simply always close at hand. People book because they feel trust, not pressure.

Review

I was afraid a website would feel cold and corporate. WebCode.Agency made it feel like me: my paintings, my words, my calm. Clients tell me they felt safe before we even met, and I now get noticeably more bookings.
