HiveSourced Retreat Website Design
A retreat website has to sell a transformation, answer logistics questions and take deposits without friction. HiveSourced designs custom WordPress websites for retreat leaders and wellness practitioners, with retreat pages, speaker pages and Stripe payments built in.
People deciding on a retreat have more questions than someone booking a single session. Your site has to answer them before they inquire.
Visitors want dates, location, what is included and who leads it. If they hunt for it, they leave.
A clear deposit or payment step, set up in Stripe, lets someone commit while they are excited about the trip.
Running several retreats a year means each one needs its own page, and a way to add the next one without a rebuild.
Many retreat leaders also see clients or train clinicians. The site should make both offers clear without confusing either audience.
Retreat businesses get the same full core service as every HiveSourced client, then the pieces a retreat needs.
Figma design before any code
We show three homepage directions first, then design each page in Figma. You get unlimited revisions in the design phase, before any code is written.
Copywriting in your voice
Your copy comes from a structured intake about the guests you want and the words they use when they look for a retreat.
On-page SEO and schema
Meta titles, headings, schema markup and Google Search Console are in place at launch.
Built for phones first
Many guests browse from a phone, so we design at phone size first and scale up.
HIPAA-compliant contact form
Your inquiry form sends messages through encrypted channels, and we help you connect a HIPAA-compliant email system for replies.
Training video and Slack updates
You get a recorded walkthrough to edit the site yourself, plus a dedicated Slack channel with updates every Tuesday and Friday.
This is what we add for retreat and wellness businesses on top of the core build. We scope it with you before design starts.
Each retreat gets its own page with dates, location, itinerary, what is included, pricing and a clear way to reserve a spot. You can add the next retreat from a reusable layout.
We integrate Stripe and deposit forms so guests can pay a deposit or the full amount on your site. That supports more than one revenue stream, such as retreats, trainings and sessions.
If you host guest teachers or co-lead with other clinicians, each person gets a profile page with their bio, credentials and the retreats they lead.
Moving from a private practice to a retreat business changes who you are talking to. We include brand-pivot positioning so the site reads as one clear brand. See also our retreat leader page.
Retreat guests search by theme, place and leader. Our SEO for therapists service can help retreat pages get found, and basic on-page SEO is part of every build.
A scalable structure means going from one retreat a year to several does not require a redesign. Practices that also have a team can read about our group practice website design.
We collect your retreat concept, the guests you want to reach, your credentials and the questions people ask before they book.
About 1 to 2 weeks. You choose a homepage direction before we design anything else.
About 1 to 3 weeks, with unlimited revisions until every page feels right to you.
About 1 week. WordPress build, schema, analytics and Search Console, then a training video for you.
Most projects launch in 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff. We work fully remotely, so you do not need to be near Chicago. Not sure what fits your budget? See our pricing.
