The Life Coach's Tech Roadmap

The only 5 pieces of tech a coach needs to set up an online business without overwhelm.

A coach’s website should show the calibur of their coaching

When I first discovered coaching, and my life started to change because of it (lost a couple of dozen pounds, for one thing!), I thought I would become a coach myself. Then I started connecting with a lot of coaches and realized that most of them didn’t have websites that showed the calibur of their coaching.

That wasn’t okay with me. As a web developer and designer, I knew that the design and function of a site really matter to how potential clients see a coach professionally. I made it my goal to help as many coaches as possible to get their message out into the world by helping them with their websites.

To help you as you design your own site, I’ve gathered together a list of 11 websites that show thoughtful content, great photography, and consistent branding. I hope this is helpful!

1. Katrina Ubell

Katrina Ubell is a weight loss coach for busy physicians. As a retired physician herself, she understands the frustration that comes from trying to lose weight while keeping up with a busy doctor’s schedule.

What’s great about it: From immediate page load, you know the three w’s: who Katrina is, what she does, and why she does it. That’s the role of a good homepage, and she executes it well.

2. Anjanette Ludwig

Anjanette Ludwig is a coach for teens and parents of teens. She helps them learn how to communicate better with each other and power through the teenage years that so often trip families up.

 

What’s great about it: Anjanette’s site does a great job of letting you know how we can work with her. Not only does she have a work with me page that lines out the positive results of coaching, but on her speaking page she also highlights the testimonials of those who have attended her various speaking events.

5. David Ball

David Ball markets himself more as a mentor than a coach. He’s coached ore than 7,000 men over the last 20 years.

What’s great about it: David’s website is an fabulous example of how knowing your niche might alter your website design and function. For example, you’ll notice that he has an “If You’re Not Sure” link in his navigation. On this page, he addresses common objections and gives reasons why men seek him out for coaching.

What’s great about it: Though it might seem jarring to only have a single call to action on a homepage, I think it fits Stacey’s personality well. No fluff, let’s get to the point and start making money! Honestly, Stacey is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. She really teaches coaches that the secret to making money in their businesses is to genuinely care about and believe in their clients.
