Cybershrink Websites for Counsellors.

If you’re a counsellor, and you consider yourself self-sufficient enough to manage your own website, you might find Cybershrink Websites for Counsellors a better option than hiring a web design company to do your work for you.

Web design companies such as Webhealer and BACP Counsellor Websites offer counsellors a custom-made website for set-up fees and monthly rental.  Once the website goes live any changes you may wish to make may either have to be completed by the web design company on your behalf or you may find that you’re limited to a set number of pages you can use before being charged additional fees.

Cybershrink is different:-

• No set-up fees
• No limits in number of pages
• No limits in images you can upload
• Alter, update, add to, remove from your site 24 hours a day
• All alterations are made instantly
• Your own domain name (eg JohnSmithCounselling.com)*
• Unlimited email accounts (eg enquiries@JohnSmithCounselling.com, supervision@JohnSmithCounselling.com etc) – either with one inbox, separate inboxes, or forwarded to your existing email account.
• Free Piwik Statistics provided (helps you decide what your potential clients are looking for, which can inform you which new pages you may need to add to capture these clients’ attentions).
• Powered by WordPress 3 – open source software supported by millions of users and developers.
• Regular updates included for free.
• £10 a month flat rate.

*You will pay the standard ISP registrar rates for your own domain name (eg approx £3 per year for a .co.uk domain, approx £10 per year for a .com domain) – I can arrange and manage this for you at no cost.
