Overview

Dr Harsha’s website is a personal / professional platform for a life coach / therapist / neurodiversity specialist based in Pune. The site presents her services (coaching, therapy, workshops), her story, programs, contact info, and blog content.

The goal of the project was to craft a digital presence that builds credibility, clearly communicates services, attracts clients (especially neurodivergent individuals or parents), and enables seamless appointment booking or consultation.


Challenges

  1. Establishing trust & empathy in a sensitive domain
    Mental health, therapy, and neurodiversity coaching are sensitive topics. The site must foster a sense of safety, empathy, and professionalism from first glance.

  2. Complex & personal messaging
    The coaching and therapy services involve emotional, interpersonal, and personal growth themes. Conveying these in concise, meaningful copy and design (without being vague or overly clinical) is tricky.

  3. Clear service segmentation & user path
    Dr Harsha offers several types of services (one-on-one coaching, group sessions, speaking, retreats). Ensuring visitors understand each option and choose the right path is a UX challenge.

  4. Conversion & appointment booking
    Encouraging users to move from browsing to booking consultations (or contacting) demands clear CTAs, persuasive trust cues, and minimal friction.

  5. Responsive & accessible design
    Ensuring the website is accessible (fonts, contrast, readability) and works well across devices, since users might come from mobile, tablets, or desktops.

  6. Balancing content richness vs simplicity
    There’s the need for biography, programs, blogs, testimonials, and contact info — but cramming too much in one page can overwhelm the visitor.


Solutions

  1. Warm, human-first design & messaging

    • Used a clean, soft, approachable color palette and typography to make the site feel inviting and personal.

    • Hero section with messaging like “Better Advice for Healthy & Happier Relationships” to immediately communicate value.

    • Personal story (“About Me”) prominently featured to connect emotionally and build authenticity.

  2. Clear service breakdowns & modular layout

    • Created a dedicated “Services / Programs” section listing offerings like one-on-one coaching, group sessions, speaking, retreats.

    • Each service is given a short description, enabling visitors to skim and distinguish.

    • The site structure allows users to drill down into the service of interest (rather than dumping all info on one page).

  3. Trust & credibility elements

    • Display of experience, sessions per year, awards, etc.

    • Testimonials from clients to provide social proof.

    • Clear contact details, address, booking options (“Book Online,” phone number) to reduce barriers.

  4. Strong CTAs & conversion paths

    • “Book Session,” “Let’s Chat,” or “Get Started” buttons placed in hero, mid-page, and at bottom to capture interest at multiple points.

    • Contact / inquiry form in “Contact” section, with promise to respond.

    • Use of “free discovery call / complimentary session” offer to lower commitment barrier.

  5. Responsive, content-prioritized layout

    • Sections are modular and stack well for mobile, with readable fonts and clear spacing.

    • Visual hierarchy guides users’ eyes: services, then trust elements, then CTAs.

    • Optimized images and clean markup ensure faster page loads and better performance.


Results

  • Stronger trust & emotional connection
    Visitors feel a more personal connection via the “About Me,” service explanations, and testimonials, reducing uncertainty about engaging such a sensitive service.

  • Improved clarity & choice for users
    The clear service breakdowns help users quickly find what they are looking for (coaching vs group vs speaking) without confusion.

  • Higher inquiry & booking rates
    With visible CTAs and easy contact access, more visitors are likely to convert into booked sessions or consultations.

  • Better user engagement & retention
    By structuring content to flow (from services → trust → contact), users are more likely to scroll down, read, and explore instead of bouncing.

  • Scalable, maintainable foundation
    The modular design allows new service types, blog posts, or resources to be added without redesigning the entire layout.
