One Size Doesn’t Fit All
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from building my own website and helping other practitioners, it’s this: your website needs will change as your practice grows. Whether you’re just starting out, looking for a simple professional site, or ready to build a fully functional, scalable platform, there’s a solution that’s right for you.
Over the past two years, I’ve tried everything—Wix, Squarespace, Elementor, Astra, SeedProd, and more. Some of them worked for a while, but I always ran into limitations. I want to help you avoid those headaches by offering a clear path based on your needs and budget.
Here’s a breakdown of web presence solutions, what they offer, and why they might be right for you.
For Those Starting Out: Canva’s Free Website Builder
Ideal For: Cash-strapped practitioners who need an online presence but have no budget.
What It Offers: A free, easy-to-use website builder with customizable templates.
Let’s be real: if you have zero budget, Canva can help you get online quickly. It’s a simple option for a basic, one-page website, and the templates are clean and professional-looking.
Pros:
- Totally free.
- Easy to set up with no coding required.
- Great starting point for a basic online presence.
Cons:
- Limited functionality.
- Not ideal for growth or advanced features.

For Practitioners Who Want Hassle-Free Professionalism: NutrishiPages
Ideal For: Nutritionists who need a professional-looking site without the stress of design or tech.
What It Offers: Fully managed, pre-designed pages tailored specifically for nutritionists.
NutrishiPages takes all the guesswork out of building a site. You’ll get a professional-looking page that you can start using immediately, without needing to fiddle with design or plugins.
Pros:
- Ready to go with minimal setup.
- Tailored for your needs as a nutritionist.
- Can seamlessly roll into a full website later if needed.
Cons:
- Limited customization compared to a full website.

For the Visionary with Big Ideas: The Minute Launch Kit
Ideal For: Practitioners looking for a flexible, scalable WordPress site with limitless potential.
What It Offers: A curated stack of best-in-class plugins, built around KadenceWP—the lightest and most versatile WordPress theme available.
When I say I’ve tried everything, I mean it—Astra, Elementor, even offbeat solutions like SeedProd. None of them compare to the Minute Launch Kit. It’s designed for those ready to invest in a site that can scale with their practice, offering seamless compatibility between all its components.
Why It Stands Out:
- Built on KadenceWP: The most lightweight, versatile WordPress theme out there.
- Best-in-Class Plugins: Every plugin in the stack has been rigorously vetted to work well together.
- Unlimited Potential: Build anything from sleek professional sites to advanced eCommerce and automations.
Pros:
- Full control of your site, data, and CRM.
- Scales as your business grows.
- Customizable to fit any need or vision.
- Pack up your bags and leave anytime.
Cons:
- Requires more time to learn or the help of a designer.

A Quick Word on Wix and Squarespace
For some, platforms like Wix or Squarespace might be tempting. They make it easy to get a site up quickly, but you’re locked into their ecosystem. As your needs grow, so will your costs, and your ability to expand functionality will be limited.
That’s why I prefer solutions that give you full control over your site, your data, and your future.
