One-Page Website Template for Coaches and Consultants
If you're a coach or consultant, you've probably been told you need a website. And then you start thinking about all the pages you need,Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact, Testimonials,and suddenly it feels like a massive project you don't have time for.
Here's what most coaches don't realize: you don't need a multi-page website. A single, well-structured page is often more effective. It's easier for potential clients to navigate, faster to build, and honestly, it usually converts better because there's less confusion about what to do next.
Let me walk you through exactly what to put on a one-page coaching website that actually gets you clients.
Why One Page Works for Coaches
Multi-page websites made sense when websites were digital brochures. But for coaches and consultants, your website has one job: convince the right people to book a call or reach out.
A one-page site does this better because:
No navigation confusion - Visitors don't click around wondering where to find information. It's all right there.
Clear flow - You control the order they see information. Start with the hook, build trust, show credibility, present the offer, make the ask.
Faster to build - One page means less content to write, fewer design decisions, and you can get it done in a day instead of weeks.
Easier to maintain - Updating one page is simpler than managing five different pages.
Better on mobile - Most people will visit on their phones. One scrolling page works better than clicking through multiple pages on mobile.
Forces focus - You can't hide mediocre content across multiple pages. One page forces you to be clear and concise.
The Essential Sections (In Order)
Here's the structure that works. These sections, in this order, will guide potential clients from "Who's this?" to "I want to work with them."
Section 1: Hero (Who You Help and How)
This goes at the very top. Visitors should immediately know:
- Who you help
- What result you deliver
- That they're in the right place
Bad example: "Welcome to My Coaching Practice"
Good examples:
- "I help burned-out executives rediscover work-life balance"
- "Career coaching for women returning to work after raising kids"
- "Business consulting for consultants earning $100-300K who want to scale past $500K"
Be specific. The more specific you are about who you help, the more the right people will think "This is for me."
Include:
- A clear headline
- One or two supporting sentences
- A call-to-action button ("Book a free call" or "Let's talk")
- Optionally, a professional photo of you
Section 2: The Problem
This section shows you understand their pain. Describe the struggle they're facing right now.
Example for a career coach: "You know you're capable of more, but you feel stuck in a job that drains you. You've updated your resume three times, but you're not even sure what you're looking for. Meanwhile, you're watching years pass, feeling like you're wasting your potential."
This isn't about you yet. It's about them seeing their problem reflected back, so they know you get it.
Include:
- 2-3 paragraphs describing their current struggle
- Specific, relatable pain points
- Emotional and practical problems they face
Section 3: About You
Now that they know you understand their problem, tell them why you're qualified to help.
This isn't your life story. It's specifically what makes you credible for solving their problem:
- Your relevant experience
- Results you've achieved for others
- Why you do this work
- Your approach or philosophy
Example: "I'm Sarah, and I spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before burning out completely. After rebuilding my career on my own terms, I now help other executives find the balance they're missing. I've coached over 100 clients through major career transitions, and I believe work should energize you, not drain you."
Include:
- Who you are and your relevant background
- Why you do this work
- Your philosophy or approach
- A professional photo if you didn't include one in the hero section
Section 4: How You Help (Your Services)
Describe what working with you looks like. Be specific about:
- What you offer (1-on-1 coaching, group programs, workshop, consulting packages)
- What's included
- What kind of results clients can expect
You don't need to list pricing yet (most coaches prefer to discuss that on a call), but you can if you want to pre-qualify prospects.
Example: "I offer 3-month one-on-one coaching programs where we meet weekly to work on your career strategy, confidence, and actionable next steps. We'll clarify what you actually want, update your approach to job searching, and prepare you to land a role that fits your life."
Include:
- What you offer
- How it works (format, duration, frequency)
- What's included
- What results they can expect
Section 5: Testimonials
Social proof is crucial. People want to know others have succeeded working with you.
Include:
- 3-5 specific testimonials
- Real names and photos if possible (with permission)
- Specific results: "Sarah helped me land a $30K raise" beats "Sarah is great!"
If you're just starting and don't have testimonials yet, you can use:
- Results you've achieved in a previous role
- Feedback from beta clients or friends you've helped
- Your own success story
- Or skip this section until you have testimonials,it's not mandatory when starting
Section 6: Call-to-Action
This is the most important part. You've built trust, shown credibility, explained your offer. Now tell them exactly what to do next.
Make it easy and low-pressure:
- "Book a free 30-minute call to see if we're a fit"
- "Schedule a consultation"
- "Let's talk about your goals"
Include:
- A clear headline: "Ready to get started?" or "Let's talk"
- A button that links to your calendar (Calendly, Acuity, etc.) or contact form
- What happens next: "We'll spend 30 minutes discussing your goals and whether coaching is right for you. No pressure, just conversation."
Section 7: FAQ (Optional but Useful)
Answer common questions:
- How much does it cost?
- How long do programs last?
- Do you work in-person or virtually?
- What's your cancellation policy?
- How do I know if coaching is right for me?
Keep answers brief and honest.
Section 8: Final Call-to-Action
End with one more invitation to reach out. Some people need to read everything before they're ready to take action.
Make this simple:
- Button to book a call
- Or your email address with a note: "Questions? Email me at sarah@example.com"
Building Your One-Page Site
Here's how to actually create this:
Step 1: Choose Your Platform
Wix or Squarespace - Both have coaching/consulting templates. User-friendly, look professional. About $16-30/month.
Carrd - Perfect for one-page sites. Very affordable ($19/year). Less robust but sufficient for a simple site.
Leadpages or Unbounce - Designed for conversion. More expensive but have powerful features.
WordPress with a theme - More flexible but requires more tech comfort.
For most coaches, Squarespace or Wix is the sweet spot,professional-looking without being complicated.
Step 2: Pick a Template
Look for templates labeled:
- Coaching
- Consulting
- Services
- Professional
Choose something clean and simple. You want your content to shine, not be buried under design effects.
Look for templates with:
- Clear sections
- Good use of white space
- Easy-to-read fonts
- Professional look without being flashy
Step 3: Write Your Content First
Before you start designing, write everything in a document:
- Your hero headline
- The problem section
- Your about section
- How you help
- Your CTA
- FAQs
Get the words right first. Editing text in a document is easier than editing directly in a website builder.
Step 4: Fill in Your Template
Now copy your content into the template sections:
- Hero at the top
- Problem section
- About you
- Services
- Testimonials (if you have them)
- CTA
- FAQ
- Final CTA
Replace template text section by section. Don't get distracted by design tweaks yet,just get the content in.
Step 5: Add Your Booking System
This is critical. You need an easy way for people to book calls with you.
Options:
- Calendly - Free for basic features, integrates everywhere
- Acuity Scheduling - More professional features
- Cal.com - Free, open-source alternative
Set up your calendar tool, then add a button on your website that links to it. Make sure it's obviously clickable.
Step 6: Design Tweaks
Now make it look polished:
Photos - Use a professional (but approachable) photo of yourself. People hire coaches they feel they can connect with.
Colors - Pick 2-3 colors that feel professional but match your brand. Blues and teals often work well for coaching (trustworthy), but use what feels like you.
Fonts - Keep it simple. One font for headlines, one for body text. Readability matters more than style.
White space - Don't cram everything together. Give sections room to breathe.
Step 7: Test Everything
Before launching:
- Click your booking link to make sure it works
- Check that your email is clickable
- View it on your phone
- Read through for typos
- Have someone else review it
- Make sure it loads quickly
What NOT to Include
Coaches often think they need things they actually don't:
A blog - Unless you genuinely want to write regularly, skip this. An abandoned blog looks worse than no blog.
Tons of pages - You don't need separate pages for every service. Keep it on one page.
Your entire life story - Share what's relevant to helping clients. They don't need your childhood biography.
Jargon - Speak plainly. "I help you identify your core values and leverage them to optimize your career trajectory" is less clear than "I help you figure out what you want and go get it."
Complicated pricing tables - If you offer multiple packages, keep it simple or just say "packages starting at $X" and discuss details on a call.
Getting Your First Clients
Once your site is live:
Share it everywhere:
- LinkedIn posts and profile
- Email signature
- Business cards
- Networking conversations
- Social media bios
Content marketing:
- Write LinkedIn posts about your expertise
- Create helpful content that drives people to your site
- Comment thoughtfully in relevant groups and communities
Direct outreach:
- Email people in your network who might need coaching
- Offer free strategy sessions to get testimonials
- Ask satisfied clients for referrals
Your website doesn't get you clients by itself. It's the professional home base that converts interest into booked calls. You still need to drive traffic to it.
Pricing Your Services
This is usually the hardest part. A few approaches:
Don't list pricing - Many coaches prefer to discuss pricing on discovery calls after understanding the client's needs.
Starting prices - "Packages starting at $2,000" gives a ballpark without committing.
Full transparency - List your exact prices. This pre-qualifies prospects but might scare some away before they understand the value.
There's no right answer. Choose what feels comfortable for your practice.
As You Grow
Start with this simple one-page site. As you get clients and grow, you can add:
- A blog or resources page
- Case studies or success stories
- More detailed service descriptions
- A team page if you expand
- A courses or group program page
But don't wait until you have all that to launch. Start simple. Get clients. Expand later.
The Investment
Creating a one-page coaching website:
Basic option:
- Website builder: $16-30/month
- Domain: $10-15/year
- Booking system: Free (Calendly basic)
- Total: About $200-400/year
Professional option:
- Premium website builder: $30-40/month
- Domain: $10-15/year
- Professional booking system: $10-15/month
- Total: About $500-700/year
This is a business expense. If it helps you land even one client, it pays for itself many times over.
Your Website's Real Job
Remember: your website doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to clearly communicate who you help, how you help them, and make it easy for the right people to book a call with you.
That's it. Everything else is extra.
You don't need fancy animations or a blog with 50 posts or a complex multi-page structure. You need one clear page that builds trust and invites action.
Get the structure right (hero, problem, about, services, testimonials, CTA), write clear copy, make booking easy, and publish it. You can always refine it later based on what you learn from real prospects.
Your one-page site can be live this week. Pick a platform, follow the structure I outlined, write your content, and publish. Then start sharing it and booking those calls.
Simple beats complicated. Clear beats clever. One strong page beats five mediocre ones.
