Overview
A calm site for a private practice, with booking that fits how you actually work rather than a generic calendar bolted on. Written to be read rather than skimmed, quick on a phone, and careful with anything a client types into it.

Questions, answered.
3 questionsIs the booking private?
Client details are kept to the minimum the booking actually needs. If you already use a practice system, it books into that rather than keeping a second copy.
Can I edit it myself?
Yes. Pages, availability and copy are yours to change without asking anyone.
Do I still need my directory listing?
Probably at first. The aim is that within a year your own site is what people find, rather than the profile you rent.
