Treatments by length and price, your qualifications, and a booking that holds the hour.
A massage practice sells a specific hour. The treatment, how long it takes and what it costs are the decision, and they are the details a general template tends to fold into a paragraph.
Describe the practice and the treatments become real data with durations and prices, and the booking holds the slot and refuses once it's taken.
What they came for
What people want from a massage practice website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
What treatments do you do?
Deep tissue, sports, pregnancy, lymphatic — named rather than gathered under "massage", because people arrive looking for a specific thing.
How long, and how much?
Duration and price are both columns, so a 30, 60 and 90 minute version of the same treatment are three rows rather than a paragraph of caveats.
Are you qualified and insured?
The qualifications you actually hold, in the section for them. For a treatment involving a stranger's hands, it is not a detail.
Can I have Thursday at six?
The booking holds that hour and stops offering it once it's taken, so the same slot cannot go to two people while you're in a treatment.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on massage practice websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
"Massage" with no treatment names
People search for a specific problem — a shoulder, a marathon, a pregnancy. A single word matches few of those searches.
The qualifications are missing
Training and insurance are among the things a first-time client checks for. In a footer they are easy to miss.
No answer to "what happens in the first session"
A first appointment carries questions about the consultation, the draping and being able to stop. Answering them on the page settles them before booking.
What gets built
What a massage practice website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for massage therapists, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a massage practice with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most massage therapists need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Bookings hold the slot against the capacity you set and stop accepting once it's full, so the site can't promise a time you can't keep.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“Relaxing massage therapy in a tranquil setting.”
Specific
“Deep tissue and sports massage, 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Level 5 qualified, fully insured.”
The second answers the three questions on the way to a booking: treatment, length, price.
General
“Book an appointment today.”
Specific
“Evenings until 8pm and Saturday mornings — the slots that go first.”
Evening and weekend availability is the practical detail; "book today" is an instruction.
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for massage therapists
- Can clients book a specific time?
- Yes, and the slot is held. Once a time is taken the form stops offering it rather than accepting a second booking for the same hour, and each booking reaches you by email and is kept as a record.
- Can I price by session length?
- Yes — duration and price are both columns on the treatments table, so a 30, 60 and 90 minute version of the same treatment are three rows, not a paragraph of caveats.
- Can I list my qualifications?
- Yes, the ones you actually hold. Nothing is invented to fill the section.
- Can the booking ask about medical history?
- It can ask what you need before the appointment, and every answer is kept on the record with the booking. Keep it to what you genuinely need — a long form before a first massage costs you bookings.
- Can I offer mobile visits at a different price?
- Yes. It is another row with its own price and description, and a travel area can be said plainly next to it.
- Can I block out the hours I don't work?
- The times you offer are rows. An hour you don't work is simply not one of them, so the form can only offer what you have actually put up.
Where this isn't the right tool
No intake forms with clinical history, no treatment notes, no card on file. Keep anything clinical in the system built for it. Sitemo is the page: the treatments, the times, the prices and a booking that holds the hour.
