Web Design Bristol: WordPress Solutions for Therapists & Small Businesses
Are you a counsellor, therapist, or wellness professional searching for reliable web design in Bristol? Finding a web designer who truly understands your needs can make all the difference. At Richard Thorne Web Design (RTWD), I specialise in creating user-friendly and compliant WordPress websites, backed by fast hosting and ongoing care, so you can focus on what you do best—helping your clients.
Why Choose RTWD for Web Design in Bristol?
Since 2019, I’ve supported small and medium-sized businesses across Somerset and Bristol with practical, effective websites. As a solo freelance web designer (not an agency), you’ll work directly with me, Richard Thorne, every step of the way. Here’s what sets RTWD apart:
- Specialist in Wellness & Therapy Websites: I understand the unique needs of therapists, counsellors, and holistic practitioners.
- WordPress Expertise: I use WordPress for its flexibility, security, and ease of use, making it simple for you to manage content.

- Comprehensive Support: From building to hosting and ongoing care, your site stays safe, fast, and compliant.
What Makes a Great Website for Therapists and SMEs?
Your website is often your first impression. For wellness professionals, it needs to be welcoming, accessible, and secure. Here are some essentials I prioritise:
- Clarity and Calm: Gentle colours, clear navigation, and easy contact options set a reassuring tone for visitors.
- Privacy and GDPR Compliance: All sites include privacy policy pages, consent-friendly contact forms, and secure data handling, in line with UK data protection guidelines.
- Accessibility: Designs follow best practices to ensure visitors of all abilities can access your content (see government guidance for more).
- Mobile Friendly: Over half of web traffic comes from mobiles—your site will look and work great on any device.
