Real Muscular Therapy is a small business that specializes in muscular rehabilitation through deep tissue massage and physical therapy. When we met the company’s owner Patrick, he would travel to his clients’ homes and businesses to save the expense of having to rent an office or studio. However, what frustrated him the was was being limited by a very outdated system of scheduling appointments for his clients. Unfortunately, those limits had already resulted in lost business.
What They Needed
It was crystal clear that Patrick needed a website that could serve several purposes.
- Promote his business to new clients
- Automate the process of scheduling appointments
We sat down together and put together a cost-effective solution for him.
The Solution
To make the project as cost-effective as possible, we built the foundation of Patrick’s website with WordPress. Once the foundation was in place, we customized everything to give him the look he wanted. The big advantage of using WordPress is that it gives him a standardized content management system and a very solid foundation basically for free.
The website included:
- A media-rich design that both sets the mood for a relaxing massage and doubles as an effective promotional tool for his business
- A customized and automated system for his clients to schedule appointments online
- A database so all client and appointment data is stored in a single, centralized location
- The option to easily add a blog in the future
The End Result
Within 6 months of the launch of the website, Real Muscular Therapy’s business had grown so fast that they could afford to move into a rented studio/office space adjacent to their local gym. As of Fall, 2019, their business is still doing very well.
