Website For Life Coaches

Every coach needs a professional-looking website, it’s a must these days. This is one area you don’t want to skimp out on.

For many potential clients, their first impression of you is based on your website, make sure its a good one.

Personally, I use WordPress to build my website. Because WordPress is what I know, the themes I’m going to display below are WordPress Themes.

The first theme is free and I have no experience with it, but it looks good.

The second theme is premium and I had years of experience with it and highly recommend it as a paid option.

Free Website Website Theme

Blossom Coach

This theme is beautiful as you can see. There is a caveat though. When you add this theme to WordPress it does not look like the image above.

It looks like this

You will have to create the look of the website yourself. Which if you have never done before can be a pretty daunting task, believe me.

You have the option of downloading it for free and trying it out for yourself. If you decide you don’t want to take the time to create the look yourself, there is a PRO version that can be purchased for $49 and you can import the demo website and tweak it as your own.

Premium Website Theme

divi life coach theme 2
divi life coach theme 3

This beautiful website is created with the Divi WordPress theme. I have years of experience with this theme and am confident to say that it is likely the most beginner-friendly theme out there.

You don’t need to know any fancy coding, you merely need to drag and drop each element to where you’d like to place it. Change the colours, images and text and you’re ready to go.

You would pay somewhere in the vicinity of $1000+ to have a web designer create a professional-looking website like this for you.

Elegant Themes is the company behind Divi and I can attest to their support and technical staff as being amazing.

A one year membership costs you $89, this gives you 1 year of support and theme updates. Should you decide not to renew after the year, you will no longer have access to premium support or updates to the Divi theme.

You get keep the theme as your own regardless.

Books For Life Coaches

Books are a great cost-effective way to consistently learn and evolve as a coach. There are 100’s of books I could list here but that would just confuse you.

Instead, I plucked out what I consider to be the cream of the crop when it comes to books on Life Coaching or Personal Coaching.

The Coaching Habit

Michael teaches us 7 coaching questions and dedicates the entire book toward mastering them. I won’t reveal them to you as that would take away the suspense!

Deep Listening
