8 Best Website Builders for Therapists of 2026

SimplePractice ranks first because it removes the hardest part of a therapist website: deciding how client details are protected. Its website builder is part of the EHR, HIPAA-compliant by design and HITRUST-certified, and SimplePractice says secure intake forms and contract options are built in, so no extra security plugins are needed. Setup is quick because the site is pre-populated with information already in your account, and edits to practice details also update the Client Portal. You add or remove sections, pick color schemes, upload photos and enable online appointment requests that land in the same calendar you use for sessions. A Therapy Finder profile can send directory visitors to the site. The website costs nothing extra on any plan; Starter is $49 a month after a three-month half-price offer, with a free trial of up to 30 days. The trade-off is design range: it is a structured, section-based builder, and leaving SimplePractice means rebuilding your site elsewhere.

Wix is the best self-serve builder for therapists who want their site to look exactly their way and still handle client details safely. Wix Bookings lets you set up services with buffer times and cancellation policies, connect Zoom or Google Meet for online sessions, collect intake forms and send automated reminders. For HIPAA, Wix's help center explains that on Business, Plus, Elite, Business Elite and Enterprise plans you open the HIPAA Compliance tab, activate PHI protection and sign a business associate agreement online, then complete data requests to export or delete PHI. Wix recommends collecting no PHI until both steps are done, and warns that activating protection can disable, restrict or remove some functions of apps that are not compatible. The free plan and Light plan from $17 a month are fine for an information-only site, but secure booking means upgrading to Business. Expect to spend time on design and copy, since Wix does not build the site for you.

Brighter Vision builds therapist websites for you, which suits clinicians who would rather spend time with clients than with templates. Every plan includes a site built by a professional design team, unlimited support, hosting, a custom domain, SSL, a pre-written content library, a homepage content generator and ready-to-use forms. Start costs $78 a month billed annually or $99 month to month, plus a $100 setup fee; Grow adds a social media tool for $143 a month billed annually. For secure contact, Brighter Vision resells Hushmail: the Startup add-on at $14.99 a month includes one encrypted email account, a BAA and up to three secure web forms, and the Enterprise add-on adds electronic signatures for intake forms. The Flourish plan at $299 a month billed annually bundles Hushmail forms and a GoodTherapy Pro membership with no setup fee. The cost is the main drawback, since you pay several times more per month than for a self-serve builder.

Squarespace is the pick for therapists who want a site that feels calm and well designed without hiring anyone. Its own scheduling product, Acuity Scheduling, lets clients book directly on your website or a branded booking page, with daily booking limits, scheduling rules and automatic time zone detection. Squarespace says custom intake forms and cancellation terms are included in all scheduling plans, and reminders go out as automated texts and emails. Acuity's pricing page shows Starter at $16 a month billed annually for one calendar, and the Premium plan at $55 a month billed annually adds the option to sign a BAA for HIPAA compliance. That matters: if your intake forms ask about symptoms or history, plan for Premium rather than Starter. The website subscription is separate, and Squarespace showed us local currency rather than USD, so check the current website plan price on its pricing page. There is no permanent free plan.

TherapySites, run by Internet Brands, sells therapist websites as a managed service. The Core plan at $69 a month lists domain name management, hosting, a mobile responsive, SSL-secured and ADA-friendly site, HIPAA compliance, a 24/7 admin portal, unlimited live support, online appointment scheduling and unlimited email accounts. A $199 one-time fee covers a website design tailored to your practice with concierge onboarding. That makes it one of the few options here where booking is part of the entry price rather than an extra app. Secure emails and forms for client communication are an add-on from $15 a month. Higher tiers add SEO from $99 a month, AI search optimization from $207 and social media and reputation management at $266 and $336. The downside is total cost: a year on Core with the design fee comes to over $1,000, roughly double a self-serve builder.

WordPress.com is the right fit for therapists who plan to write regularly, since blog posts and resource pages are what WordPress does best. The Personal plan costs US$4 a month billed yearly, removes ads and includes a free domain for the first year, and every paid plan allows unlimited pages, posts, users and visitors. A guided builder and an AI chat option help you get a first draft online quickly. For booking or secure forms you will usually need plugins, and the pricing page lists installing any of over 60,000 plugins on the Business plan at US$25 a month billed yearly. That flexibility cuts both ways: each plugin that collects client details needs its own privacy review, and a BAA is your job to arrange with the plugin's vendor. Free sites show WordPress.com ads, which most practices will want to avoid. Choose it for writing and long-term control, not for the quickest secure booking setup.

Hostinger Website Builder is a budget route to a full practice site with several pages and a custom domain. The Premium plan shows $1.99 a month when you prepay $95.52 for 48 months, then renews at $10.99 a month for the same term. It covers up to three websites, a free custom domain and two mailboxes per site for the first year, and more than 900 templates. An AI builder drafts a site from a short description, and Hostinger offers scheduling websites with online booking and automatic appointment reminders. For therapists the main gap is privacy: the builder page says nothing about HIPAA or a BAA, so use it for information and simple contact, and route intake and clinical questions through your EHR's secure portal. A 30-day money-back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it. Compare the renewal price, not the intro price, against other builders.

Carrd is the cheapest way for a therapist to put a clean, single-page profile online. Pro Lite costs $9 a year for three sites with premium URLs and no Carrd branding, but it does not include custom domains or forms. Most practices will want Pro Standard at $19 a year, which adds custom domains with SSL via Let's Encrypt, contact and signup forms, widgets and embeds, analytics and no element limit, for up to 10 sites. The embed option is the useful part for therapists: you can drop in a booking or contact widget from your EHR so client details stay in a HIPAA-compliant system rather than in Carrd's forms. The limits are clear: a Carrd site is one page, with no blog, and Carrd publishes nothing about HIPAA or a BAA. It suits a therapist who mainly needs a link for a directory profile or business card, not a full marketing site.
